1 Peter 1:22-2:3
/Thirsting for God’s Word/
*Hot temperatures*
*Snake story*
*Frequency: *
* *In the US: *220,000 hospitalizations and 400 deaths per year.
* *Internationally: *nearly 4 million deaths per year in infants and children.
Point: Water is foundational to physical life: *We must have water to have life and vitality.*
Spiritual realm also a source of nourishment required for spiritual life and vitality.
Without it, we undergo a type of spiritual dehydration.
While physical dehydration often has clear and obvious signs, spiritual dehydration often goes undetected for months and even years.
What are the signs of spiritual dehydration?
-Weakness to sins temptations,
-spiritual apathy,
-lack of affection for God,
-lack of desire for God’s word,
-impatience and lack of compassion for others,
-no joy, no hope, no love.
These are clean signs of a lack of spiritual nourishment in our lives.
God has prescribed a specific source of nourishment that will give us spiritual life and vibrance.
/ /
/READ 1st Peter 1:22-2:3/
Peter tells the word of God is the source of spiritual nourishment that we need to have spiritual life and vibrance.
Peter tells us to thirst for the word of God.
Proposition: Three reasons to thirst for God’s word
I.

He does not change.

-2,454 languages.
Why?

c.
God’s word compared to man and man’s glory
i.
READ 1:24-25
ii.
Man’s glory is like the grass that is here today and gone tomorrow
Luke 12:16-21 “Jesus told them a parable, saying, “The land of a rich man was very productive.
17 “And he began reasoning to himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, since I have no place to store my crops?’
18 “Then he said, ‘This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
19 ‘And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years /to come;/ take your ease, eat, drink /and /be merry.”
’ 20 “But God said to him, ‘You fool!
This /very /night your soul is required of you; and /now /who will own what you have prepared?’
Answer: His heirs will squabble and fight, sell what they can, take the rest to Goodwill, and squander what is left and his great grand kids won’t even remember his name.
Is that sad?
That the reality of mans fleeting glory.
It is like the grass.
iii.
God’s word is last and endures forever
Application:
Q: Do you still thirst for God’s Word?
-Bible still the most sold book in the world.
-16 in our house

No wonder the church in America is dying!
We are starving our souls!
Q: Is your soul thriving and vibrant nourished by God eternal word?
or
Do you find yourself weak, constantly defeated by sin and feeling useless for the building of God’s kingdom?
-Have you have starved your soul by neglect of God’s word?
-If So, taste again he sweetness of God word and thirst for more.
There is satisfaction and nourishment, yours for the taking.
