REFRESH: Part 1

Jul 6, 2025    Pastor Johnny Johnson

In this powerful message, we're reminded of our deep spiritual thirst and God's desire to refresh us. The central theme revolves around Isaiah 28:11-12, highlighting how God offers rest and refreshing to the weary. However, just like the Israelites, we often fail to hear and receive it. The message draws a striking parallel between physical thirst in scorching heat and our spiritual thirst in a draining world. We're encouraged to seek refreshing not from worldly sources, but from the presence of the Lord. The speaker emphasizes three divine sources of refreshing: God the Father through forgiveness of sins, God the Holy Spirit through His baptism and filling, and God the Son, Jesus, who refreshes everyone He encounters. This message challenges us to examine our desperation for God's refreshing and to actively pursue it, reminding us that true transformation and rejuvenation come from being in God's presence.
