  This is Living Waters of Grace, the teaching ministry of Clark
• 0:08
  Wofford, senior pastor of Calvary Chapel of Westmoreland,
• 0:12
  County of Greensburg, PA. Now here's Pastor Clark as he
• 0:16
  continues teaching through God's Word.
• 0:37
  Paul was known for not wanting to ever build on another man's
• 0:41
  foundation. Paul wouldn't be interested in
• 0:44
  going back to Jerusalem at the time because the church was
• 0:47
  everywhere in Jerusalem, but he was always interested in going
• 0:51
  to the regions beyond. Matter of fact, it tells us in
• 0:54
  Romans that he did not want to build on another man's
• 0:58
  foundation. He always wanted to see a fresh
• 1:00
  new work of the Holy Spirit where people would come to
• 1:03
  Christ who never even heard of Jesus Christ.
• 1:07
  They're all kinds of people get into missions, work, whether
• 1:10
  they're going in to support an existing project or going to
• 1:13
  start a new community of believers at a place that has
• 1:16
  never heard the gospel. In today's message, Pastor Clark
• 1:19
  teaches you about the apostle Paul as he relied on God's
• 1:23
  guidance to know where to go next in his missionary journeys.
• 1:28
  There are also unreached people in your own community, people
• 1:31
  who are desperately seeking the kind of hope that only Jesus can
• 1:35
  provide. Now here's Pastor Clark in the
• 1:37
  book of Acts Chapter 16 with today's edition of Living Waters
• 1:41
  of Grace. We are in the book of Acts
• 1:45
  today, Acts chapter 16. We studied about the falling out
• 1:50
  that Paul and Barnabas had in regards to their ministry
• 1:54
  relationship of so many years together.
• 1:57
  Very sad. And yet the Lord's work
• 1:59
  continues regardless of who continues on with you or with me
• 2:03
  or with the church or whatever. When we're called to do what
• 2:06
  we're called to do, we keep going on no matter what happens,
• 2:09
  what the opposition is, what the slander is, what the setbacks
• 2:13
  are. We keep standing on what it is
• 2:15
  that God's called us to do, and perseverance in the midst of
• 2:20
  challenge and difficulty in ministry is something we're all
• 2:24
  called to. Perseverance in situations of
• 2:27
  challenges, whether they are in marriage or family or home or
• 2:30
  work or whatever. We don't give up.
• 2:32
  We just keep doing what it is we're called to do and what we
• 2:36
  believe the Bible teaches us to do.
• 2:38
  And this is what we see occurring in this 16th chapter
• 2:41
  of Acts. I'm sure Paul had a sad heart
• 2:44
  after all this happened. Nonetheless, he was called to go
• 2:48
  with others to follow up on the churches that had heard the
• 2:52
  gospel where people had become believers.
• 2:54
  And this is five years after the first missionary journey and we
• 2:58
  see in the this 16th chapter, verse one.
• 3:02
  Then he came to Derby and Lystra and behold, a certain disciple
• 3:06
  was there named Timothy, the son of a certain Jewish woman who
• 3:10
  believed that his father was Greek.
• 3:13
  He was well spoken of by the brethren who were at Lystra on
• 3:17
  Iconium, and so Paul wanted to have him go with him.
• 3:22
  This is very interesting when you study these cities and he'd
• 3:25
  take a couple of minutes to find out where these places are.
• 3:28
  What's fascinating here is that most of these areas we're
• 3:31
  reading about in chapter 16 are in the country of Turkey and
• 3:35
  Turkey today is the most godless nation.
• 3:38
  It's primarily Islam, Muslim. And you wonder how in the world
• 3:43
  did the Christian Church, you know, become so weak in this
• 3:46
  particular region of the world today, primarily through
• 3:49
  persecution and martyrdom. This is what occurred and Islam
• 3:54
  became a very, very prominent religion in that region and
• 3:57
  still is today, is a very small section of modern Turkey today
• 4:01
  that is Christian, primarily Eastern Orthodox, where the
• 4:05
  patriarch of Constantinople lives.
• 4:07
  And they used to have all this ground and now it's relegated to
• 4:10
  a very small footprint with fences around that.
• 4:13
  It's just a very, very sad. But anyway, Derby and Lystra
• 4:18
  Lifestar was a place where Paul and Barnabas preached, and they
• 4:22
  had miracles occurring and people were becoming believers,
• 4:25
  and they started idolizing these guys and setting them up as
• 4:28
  though they were like Greek gods.
• 4:30
  So they got out of town quick whenever that crazy stuff
• 4:33
  started happening. So Pauls running into the sky,
• 4:36
  Timothy, years ago, Paul was in that area and he was getting
• 4:41
  stoned and having all kind of problems with people persecuting
• 4:44
  him and wanting to get him out of town, shut him up from
• 4:47
  preaching the gospel. Eunice and Lois was Timothy's
• 4:52
  mother and grandmother, and they discipled Timothy and the ways
• 4:57
  of Judaism at the time, and they were devout believers in the God
• 5:03
  of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Well, when Paul came and
• 5:06
  preached the gospel there in that region, grandmother and
• 5:09
  mother became believers, and then eventually Timothy did too.
• 5:13
  So Timothy probably remembered the tremendous testimony of Paul
• 5:18
  and his ability to preach and the influence he had in that
• 5:21
  region where many people became believers at the time.
• 5:25
  Timothy's mother was a Hellenistic Jew.
• 5:29
  His father was Greek. So there's a complication here
• 5:32
  because even though Timothy isn't perhaps committed to
• 5:37
  Judaism, he is going to begin to be someone who influences Jews.
• 5:42
  And so Paul had to do something very interesting here.
• 5:45
  Now, if you remember last week and the week before, we were
• 5:47
  studying about the council they had in Jerusalem.
• 5:50
  It was the first ecumenical council where they apostles had
• 5:55
  to sit down and discuss what was the key necessary ingredients
• 6:00
  for someone to become a true believer.
• 6:02
  And the Galatian people and the Judaizers, these are legalistic
• 6:08
  Jews, were telling Gentile Christians that they had to be
• 6:12
  circumcised in order to be saved.
• 6:14
  Well, this is totally untrue. And so it was a heresy.
• 6:18
  And so the leaders of the Church of Time, and of course Paul and
• 6:22
  Barnabas, they went up to Jerusalem to meet with the
• 6:25
  leaders and they sat and they prayed and they discussed.
• 6:28
  They had some contentious arguments with some of these
• 6:31
  legalistic Jews, Jewish people, and finally they came to the
• 6:34
  realization that there was nothing that anybody had to do
• 6:38
  to be saved but to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and be
• 6:40
  saved. And then when they were
• 6:42
  believers and they became baptized, but it was faith alone
• 6:46
  in Christ, alone by grace alone that caused people to become
• 6:49
  born again. And so now we see something
• 6:53
  interesting here. Paul saw the credibility of
• 6:57
  Timothy. Now, Timothy's a young man, he's
• 6:59
  got good influence among the body of Christ in this region.
• 7:04
  At the time, it says he was well spoken of by the brethren who
• 7:08
  were at Lystra and Iconium. So Paul wanted to use Timothy
• 7:11
  now as a partner in the ministry to raise, raise him up.
• 7:15
  Like we noticed certain young guys that come into this church
• 7:18
  here and they become part of it. We see the potential they have.
• 7:21
  And Pastor Lewis and myself, we won't be here forever.
• 7:24
  There's got to be someone down the road that begins to lead and
• 7:26
  take this church over when we're no longer on the scene.
• 7:30
  And so you constantly they got to be open and looking for
• 7:33
  people that God is raising up that are strong young Christians
• 7:37
  and have a desire to live for Christ.
• 7:40
  And so in order for Paul to have Timothy go with him, it says he
• 7:45
  took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in
• 7:48
  that region, for they all knew that his father was Greek.
• 7:52
  It just stops there. You might say, well, they had to
• 7:55
  go around Paul and Silas now to all these different churches and
• 7:59
  explain to everybody that this need for circumcision is
• 8:03
  counterproductive. There's no purpose in it.
• 8:05
  It doesn't accomplish anything. And yet Paul understood this
• 8:09
  idea of becoming all things to all men.
• 8:11
  This wasn't a thing about salvation.
• 8:13
  Or Timothy wasn't qualified because he wasn't circumcised,
• 8:17
  but in order to go into the synagogue and be able to preach,
• 8:20
  which Paul was able to go in many times and accepted because
• 8:23
  he was born a Jew, he was a Pharisee, he had been
• 8:26
  circumcised, and he did all that religious stuff of Judaism.
• 8:30
  So even though they knew Paul was different now in regards to
• 8:33
  the things he believed, he was still respected in the
• 8:35
  synagogues and accepted. And so as a result of that, he
• 8:39
  had now to make sure that Timothy had this covering, so to
• 8:45
  speak, this endorsement. So when he brought Timothy into
• 8:48
  the synagogues around the Jewish people, they wouldn't just stop
• 8:52
  listening because, quote, he wasn't circumcised.
• 8:54
  So that was the reason Paul did this.
• 8:57
  It wasn't compromising the message that they had received
• 9:00
  from the council in Jerusalem with the elders there.
• 9:04
  So he took him and and circumcised him because of the
• 9:07
  Jews who were in that region for they all knew that his father
• 9:10
  was Greek. Something that's interesting.
• 9:12
  I don't want to gross you out or anything, but you know,
• 9:14
  circumcision, you guys know what it is.
• 9:17
  Paul circumcised him. I don't know if Doctor Luke was
• 9:20
  arrived at the time and he said Luke, who wrote Acts, could you
• 9:24
  take care of this for me? There's no way I wouldn't
• 9:27
  circumcise myself, let alone anyone else.
• 9:29
  I mean, that's dangerous. What if they bleed to death or
• 9:33
  something? But anyway, that's just a
• 9:35
  sideline in my own mind. And so as they went through the
• 9:39
  cities, they delivered to them the decrees to keep, which were
• 9:44
  determined by the apostles and elders of Jerusalem.
• 9:47
  So they went out and visited the church.
• 9:49
  We got good news, guys, you don't have to be circumcised as
• 9:52
  Gentiles. Your salvation, your faith in
• 9:55
  Christ is enough. Enjoy your life and the Lord and
• 9:58
  just keep following him. So they were spreading this good
• 10:01
  news about the decree and they also were looking at the
• 10:06
  churches in regard to what they needed.
• 10:08
  It says in verse five. So the churches were
• 10:10
  strengthened and the faith and increase number daily.
• 10:14
  And so the purpose of this ministry of Paul and Silas, and
• 10:20
  now Timothy going with him, was to go in the places and visit
• 10:24
  the churches and to speak to them and encourage the elders
• 10:28
  about the things of God so that the church would get stronger
• 10:31
  and stronger. And as it became stronger and
• 10:34
  stronger, it became more influential in the city, in the
• 10:38
  culture, in the society, and it grew and more and more believers
• 10:41
  were coming into the church. And then it continues in verse
• 10:45
  6, the Macedonian call. Now when they had gone through
• 10:50
  the Phrygia and the region of Galatia, they were forbidden by
• 10:54
  the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia.
• 10:58
  This is interesting. Paul the really the first time
• 11:01
  in the book of the Acts that he was prevented and forbidden to
• 11:06
  do something that he believed he was supposed to do.
• 11:09
  He had a heart, Paul, always to go to places where the gospel
• 11:13
  had never been preached, to go and tell people who never heard
• 11:16
  about what it is that we know is Christians.
• 11:20
  And Asia is one of the most populous places in the known
• 11:24
  world at the time and even today.
• 11:26
  And so if you were going to go preach, you would want to preach
• 11:29
  in the places that had the most people to be able to potentially
• 11:33
  hear the truth. But for whatever reason, he was
• 11:36
  prevented from doing this at this time.
• 11:39
  After they'd come to Mycia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but
• 11:44
  the spirit did not permit them. Again, this is northern regions
• 11:48
  of Turkey. And so passing by Mycia, they
• 11:51
  came down to Troas, and a vision appeared to Paul.
• 11:54
  In the night. A man of Macedonia stood and
• 11:58
  pleaded with him, saying, come over to Macedonia and help us.
• 12:03
  Now after he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to
• 12:06
  go to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach
• 12:10
  the gospel to them. We see here in this section of
• 12:14
  Scripture that the will of God overcomes the will of man.
• 12:22
  Many times we think we should do something and we want to do it,
• 12:26
  and we justify it in our minds and we think it's right because
• 12:30
  we believe maybe the Lord spoke to us or gave us a word or we
• 12:34
  have some kind of insight or some kind of direction that what
• 12:38
  we're going to do is from the Lord.
• 12:40
  But when it isn't from the Lord, God speaks to us, and He speaks
• 12:44
  to us primarily through the Scriptures, sometimes through
• 12:48
  other people that might challenge you about something
• 12:50
  you're thinking of doing or possibly considering.
• 12:54
  The Holy Spirit himself can give you a dream or a vision that's
• 12:57
  obviously potentially available at times as well.
• 13:02
  But in this instance, we have someone who was an apostle that
• 13:07
  God told him no. And we think while the apostles,
• 13:12
  they never miss God, they always did everything that was right
• 13:15
  and they never made mistakes. Well, there was mistakes made as
• 13:19
  I'd spoke in regard to that relationship that Paul and
• 13:21
  Barnabas had together. It was a bad falling out.
• 13:24
  It wasn't a good mark on Paul's history of his ministry, nor
• 13:28
  Barnabas. It's a black mark on their
• 13:30
  history. And nonetheless, God allowed it.
• 13:33
  And so now Paul is having this struggle.
• 13:36
  Now I think we should go to to Asia and we should preach the
• 13:40
  gospel there. And he probably had all the
• 13:43
  plans, everybody on board, everybody's ready to go.
• 13:46
  And then this vision happens and now the Holy Spirit is
• 13:50
  forbidding him to go there and now he's got to go to Macedonia.
• 13:54
  So people might say to him and his leadership, but what are you
• 13:56
  double minded? Don't you hear from God?
• 13:59
  Are you not sure about what you're supposed to do?
• 14:02
  Why is it that you were so focused on Asia and now you're
• 14:06
  not going to go? What's this idea of a vision?
• 14:08
  How do you know it was from God? How do you, you know, all those
• 14:10
  kind of thought processes in our human minds would probably occur
• 14:15
  at that time as well, and maybe people questioning what this was
• 14:19
  all about. Fortunately, there wasn't a lot
• 14:22
  of people in this committee. There was Timothy, Paul and
• 14:26
  Silas at this point in time. So Paul had seen this vision and
• 14:31
  immediately they sought to go to Macedonia.
• 14:34
  Macedonia is in Greece, not too far from Thessaloniki, and we
• 14:40
  have missionaries we support there, the Jacksons, and we just
• 14:44
  love them and love the work they do there.
• 14:46
  They're primarily ministering to communities, are influenced by
• 14:50
  Islam, very, very challenging ministry.
• 14:53
  And but This is why they did it. They concluded that the Lord had
• 14:58
  called us to preach the gospel to them.
• 15:02
  When you look at the world today and the number of places that
• 15:05
  still are without the gospel missionaries, when they're in
• 15:10
  candidate school and their training to plan where they
• 15:14
  might possibly want to be missionaries, they pray.
• 15:18
  They usually have a big map, a world map, and they'll look at
• 15:20
  the people groups and they'll look at the percentages of
• 15:23
  unreached people who have never heard the gospel or areas where
• 15:27
  it's really difficult to get the gospel in.
• 15:30
  Most missionaries are a different breed of people and
• 15:33
  they are adventures. They're pioneers.
• 15:35
  They're not afraid of challenges.
• 15:37
  A matter of fact, they enjoy challenge and they look for
• 15:40
  opportunities to go to places that no one else goes to.
• 15:44
  And Paul was known for not wanting to ever build on another
• 15:48
  man's foundation. Paul wouldn't be interested in
• 15:52
  going back to Jerusalem at the time because the church was
• 15:55
  everywhere in Jerusalem, but he was always interested in going
• 15:59
  to the regions beyond. Matter of fact, it tells us in
• 16:02
  Romans that he did not want to build on another man's
• 16:05
  foundation. He always wanted to see a fresh
• 16:08
  new work of the Holy Spirit where people would come to
• 16:11
  Christ who never even heard of Jesus Christ.
• 16:14
  Cindy and I were with an organization when we were first
• 16:17
  married and it's called Ethos 360 now, but they specialize in
• 16:21
  reaching unreached people groups in in tribal areas.
• 16:25
  And so there was all kind of places that they were working
• 16:27
  in. And I sort of had a hidden
• 16:30
  agenda. I wanted to find a climate like
• 16:32
  Hawaii. If I was going to be a
• 16:34
  missionary, I wanted to go to a place that would be nice.
• 16:36
  I didn't want to go to the Sepi River basin and and New Guinea
• 16:40
  and get malaria and all those other things, get eaten up by
• 16:44
  crocodiles and all kind of other weird animals and insects and
• 16:48
  die. So I looked on the map and I
• 16:50
  thought, wow, Indonesia, that's very similar to like Hawaii
• 16:55
  weather. So, but nonetheless, I, I never
• 16:57
  even got to Indonesia because I didn't know how to build a
• 17:00
  jungle Hut or kill any animal or, you know, do any kind of
• 17:06
  building. When you're a tribal missionary
• 17:09
  like the Dawsons that we support in Venezuela, they had to go and
• 17:14
  as babies, they grew up in that field and they're still there
• 17:16
  now. Their parents are with the Lord,
• 17:18
  but they went there in the 50s. Everything is, you know, brand
• 17:23
  new all the time. Like, how do we reach these
• 17:26
  people up the river that have never heard the gospel?
• 17:29
  Got to get in a boat and figure out how to get up there and get
• 17:32
  up there safely, missing the piranhas and the crocodiles and
• 17:37
  the poisonous arrows at the tribal.
• 17:39
  People try to shoot at you because they think you're going
• 17:41
  to take advantage of them. But these missionaries are
• 17:44
  pioneers, and they go and they sacrifice.
• 17:47
  And many times they sacrifice their laws as Jim Elliott did.
• 17:52
  Jim Elliott, he was the guy that said he has no fool to lose, but
• 17:56
  he cannot keep to gain, but he cannot lose.
• 17:58
  But it's interesting. A week before he was going to go
• 18:02
  reach those AKA Indians, him and his friends, he was tempted to
• 18:06
  not go. He was afraid.
• 18:09
  He thought about his family and he is this really worth it?
• 18:12
  But he ended up going and he ended up being martyred, him and
• 18:16
  the rest of the guys. When you think about Paul and
• 18:23
  Barnabas and Timothy and Paul was eventually martyred.
• 18:27
  We get like this inside. Look at what it was like to live
• 18:32
  as these pioneers. We get to read it and
• 18:35
  participate in it and for reflect on it and meditate on it
• 18:38
  and perhaps somehow living in a small way in the areas that we
• 18:43
  live and where we come from, because there's unreached people
• 18:46
  group right in Greensburg, PA, There's people, believe it or
• 18:50
  not, that know nothing about Jesus Christ.
• 18:53
  And you might say, well, how in America could you be here and
• 18:56
  not know anything about the gospel?
• 18:58
  What's because of where we are today as a nation, people and
• 19:03
  these young people. When I grew up as a Pagan, at
• 19:06
  least I knew that there was a God.
• 19:09
  I believed that there was a Jesus.
• 19:10
  I believe that the Bible was true, but I wasn't born again
• 19:13
  yet, but I had that basic worldview.
• 19:16
  Now you talk to young people. Do you know anything about Jesus
• 19:19
  Christ or the Bible or God or the Trinity or the the cross or
• 19:24
  the resurrection? They look at you like deer in
• 19:25
  the headlight. They have no idea what you're
• 19:28
  talking about. So you're starting back to
• 19:30
  square 1. And it can be dangerous,
• 19:32
  especially now if you aggressively proclaim the
• 19:36
  gospel. There's beginning to be
• 19:37
  persecution in our country and Canada.
• 19:40
  Pastors that preach out against abortion, our same sex marriages
• 19:46
  are being in prison. How soon will that be here in
• 19:51
  our country? This is all involved in this
• 19:54
  missionary vision. So Paul is going to go to
• 19:59
  Macedonia now. And we continue in verse 11,
• 20:01
  this woman by the name of Lydia, she's baptized at Philippi.
• 20:06
  Philippi is a a wonderful region, opportunity for a new
• 20:10
  church. Not a whole lot of Jewish
• 20:13
  people. There was no synagogue there
• 20:15
  because you needed ten men who were part of the synagogue in
• 20:19
  order to have a legitimate synagogue.
• 20:21
  So you'll see, it's interesting here that there is no synagogue.
• 20:24
  They're meeting down by the river.
• 20:26
  So therefore, sailing from Troas, we ran a straight course
• 20:29
  as some Moth, and the next day came to Indianapolis and there
• 20:33
  to Philippi, which is the former city of that part of Macedonia,
• 20:38
  a colony. So they're in Greece now.
• 20:40
  And we were staying in that city for some days, and on the
• 20:44
  Sabbath day we went out of the city to the Riverside.
• 20:46
  Now, normally in the Sabbath day, Paul and Silas and Timothy
• 20:51
  would have gone into the synagogue to preach, but there
• 20:55
  was no synagogue there. So they went out of the city to
• 20:58
  the Riverside, where prayer was customarily made, and we sat
• 21:03
  down and spoke to the women who met there.
• 21:05
  Now, the rabbi said, it's better to have the law burn than to
• 21:11
  deliver the Torah to women. That's how discriminating and
• 21:15
  discussing the culture was toward women at the time,
• 21:18
  especially in Judaism and the rabbi's.
• 21:20
  There was a low level of esteem for women, which Paul certainly
• 21:24
  doesn't have here. And now a certain woman named
• 21:27
  Lydia heard us. She was a seller of purple from
• 21:30
  the city of Thyrotyra, who worship God.
• 21:33
  Thyrotyra is this community, the city that's known for
• 21:37
  development of purple and dyed material, garments and clothing.
• 21:44
  And so she's probably got an office down here now in
• 21:47
  Philippi, following up that she's a very successful
• 21:49
  businesswoman. And they're down there
• 21:51
  worshiping God, but they're not worshiping the truth about God
• 21:56
  yet because they don't know it. But they're there in their
• 21:59
  religious form of trying to develop this encounter with the
• 22:04
  living God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
• 22:07
  And then it says the Lord opened her heart to heed the things
• 22:11
  spoken by Paul. So Paul's preaching the gospel,
• 22:17
  and all of a sudden she's recognizing that there's
• 22:20
  something missing in her understanding of God.
• 22:27
  And her heart became convicted, and she began to become drawn to
• 22:34
  the gospel. And the Lord opened her heart to
• 22:39
  heed, to obey, to follow the things spoken by Paul.
• 22:45
  And it's like anywhere you go here today, your home, your
• 22:49
  community, your workplace, you share the Lord with people as
• 22:53
  you have opportunity to. Lord opens doors for you.
• 22:58
  You can't make anybody believe. You can't force anybody to
• 23:02
  understand the truth. You have to have patience and
• 23:07
  you have to understand that only the Lord can open the heart for
• 23:11
  people to believe. That's our job.
• 23:13
  We're to pray and pray, Lord, open the hearts of those who
• 23:17
  come here to hear your voice, to believe Your word, to follow
• 23:25
  you. And the Lord will do that.
• 23:29
  His word is not without power. It's sharper than any 2 edged
• 23:34
  sword. It's able to divide us under the
• 23:37
  soul and the spirit, and is very discerner of the thoughts and
• 23:41
  intents of the heart. Even today, your mind might be
• 23:44
  drifting. You're thinking about all kinds
• 23:46
  of things, but God will take something from His Word and
• 23:50
  Pierce your heart with it, convict you, challenge you, make
• 23:53
  you think about Him more. Thank you for listening to this
• 23:58
  edition of Living Waters of Grace.
• 24:01
  Pastor Clark is teaching us about the book of Acts in this
• 24:04
  series. Acts is a powerful and unique
• 24:07
  part of Scripture, not just because it records the spread of
• 24:10
  the gospel geographically from Jerusalem to the ends of the
• 24:13
  earth, but also culturally. Acts shows us how the message of
• 24:18
  Jesus moved beyond its Jewish roots and began to reach the
• 24:21
  Gentile world. What started with Peter leading
• 24:24
  a small group in the upper room became a global movement, with
• 24:28
  Paul taking the gospel to cities, synagogues, and
• 24:32
  marketplaces across the Roman Empire.
• 24:35
  Acts captures this vital transition and reminds us that
• 24:39
  the good news of Jesus is for all people in every place.
• 24:43
  May we be inspired to carry that same gospel boldly into our
• 24:48
  world today. Living Waters of Grace comes to
• 24:51
  you from Calvary Chapel, Westmoreland.
