Thirsty!: Come and Drink

Posted on by Garnet Nowell

Thirsty is an interesting word. It has so many meanings, from needing a drink to being eager. I was reading something today that reminded me to drink more water. Then I started thinking about how thirst can cause our minds and bodies to fail. The same is true in a spiritual sense. If we do not quench our spiritual thirst, we will never experience the life of purpose that God planned for us. What a wasted life! John 7:37 tells us that Jesus stood and called out [in a loud voice], “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me Read More

The scarlet thread is a central theme in the book of Joshua and throughout the Bible. We are continuing the series on ‘Jesus Who?‘ This week we are studying the book of Joshua. Joshua, from the Hebrew name יְהוֹשֻׁעַ (Yehoshu’a) means “YAHWEH is salvation”. Joshua was from the tribe of Ephraim and was a companion of Moses. He went up Mount Sinai with Moses when he received the Ten Commandments from God and he was one of the twelve spies sent into Canaan and was one of the two spies (Caleb being the other) who came back from spying out the Read More
