5th July Sermon Discussion - “Running On Empty”

Scripture Reference: John 7:37-39

Icebreaker : What is your favorite drink when you’re really thirsty ? Does it immediately quench your thirst or make you even more thirsty ?

Context: Some of us may be running on empty without realizing it. We feel drained & tired.

In the John passage, the Lord Jesus invites those who are thirsty to come to Him and drink. Streams of living water will flow from within. We will be able to enjoy an overflowing life.

Q1 : What do you think is the condition of your heart today?

We need to constantly take time out to check the condition of our heart. It is like a car having a fuel gauge to know when it will run empty. Are you near “Empty” or “Full “ ?

Q2 : Is your heart tender & open for God to refill you ?

Our hearts need to be open for God to work & refill us. Same like the car; the fuel cap needs to be opened before the owner can refuel it. Therefore, our hearts need to be open.

Q3: Have you been refilled by the Lord ? How can you be a blessing to someone this week ?

As we are being refilled by the Lord, we must believe God's blessing will flow to us. Through us blessing will flow out to others. We can be streams of living water & a blessing to others.
