  This is Living Waters of Grace, the teaching ministry of Clark
• 0:08
  Waffer, senior pastor of Calvary Chapel of Westmoreland, County
• 0:12
  of Greensburg, PA. Now here's Pastor Clark as he
• 0:16
  continues teaching through God's Word.
• 0:37
  They have no access to that anymore.
• 0:39
  It's done right now. Even unbelievers are seeing
• 0:44
  mercy. They're seeing the grace of God
• 0:47
  right now, and we who believe are seeing it.
• 0:51
  But there's going to come a day when those who do not believe
• 0:56
  will no longer have access to His forgiveness or access to His
• 1:00
  grace or His mercy. That may be the worst part.
• 1:05
  I'm judging him. Every breath you breathe is
• 1:08
  God's grace at work. If you could see things from His
• 1:11
  perspective, you'd likely see many more specific examples of
• 1:15
  the way He protects and keeps you from events or paths that
• 1:20
  would lead you to destruction. In this moment, there's nothing
• 1:23
  you can do to exceed the limits of that grace.
• 1:27
  But as Pastor Lewis will warn in today's message, a day is coming
• 1:31
  when His grace will be retracted, and only those who
• 1:34
  have accepted it will spend eternity with him.
• 1:38
  Now here's Pastor Lewis in the Book of Second Thessalonians,
• 1:41
  chapter one with today's edition of Living Waters of Grace.
• 1:45
  These are things that are evident or that should be
• 1:48
  evident in our own lives. We should have this, this faith
• 1:51
  that should be growing, you know, and we and we do that by
• 1:54
  doing, we're doing the day we, we're, we're in the word of God
• 1:57
  and we do it in prayer and we're doing it through fellowship.
• 2:01
  And it allows our faith to grow even in the midst of whatever
• 2:05
  problems are going on. It's a blessing that we can come
• 2:07
  here because outside of here, people are going nuts.
• 2:11
  They're looking for answers everywhere and they don't have
• 2:13
  any solutions. They don't have any answers.
• 2:16
  And they're bouncing this way. They're bouncing that way.
• 2:18
  They're believing in this person, they're believing in
• 2:19
  that person. That theology or that
• 2:22
  philosophy, it's everywhere out there.
• 2:25
  But when you come here and you're in the Word of God, we
• 2:29
  here together help to encourage each other to keep on, to keep
• 2:34
  on. Just keep on.
• 2:35
  Stay in the way, stay in the Word of God, stay in prayer,
• 2:40
  keep Him number one, trust in Him, trust in his Word.
• 2:45
  And that's the three pillars that we have that faith that
• 2:48
  that love. But no, we also have the
• 2:50
  patience. What helps us to be able to do
• 2:52
  that is the fact that we have patience.
• 2:55
  And that patience is because of the fact that we know we're
• 2:58
  anticipating the return of Jesus Christ.
• 3:01
  This ain't going to last forever.
• 3:03
  Trouble doesn't last all ways. We are going to have a time of
• 3:08
  rejoicing, a time of re glorification.
• 3:11
  We're going to have a time that we are going to be able to spend
• 3:13
  with the Lord Jesus Christ. This is not the end of the story
• 3:17
  for us. This is not the end of the
• 3:19
  story. This is just the beginning of a
• 3:21
  great eternity that's going to happen when Jesus Christ, our
• 3:25
  Lord and Savior comes back. Amen.
• 3:28
  And that's what we're hoping for.
• 3:30
  And that's the patience that they have, and they're waiting
• 3:33
  for that. Bless the Lord, bless the Lord.
• 3:36
  Second Titus. Two.
• 3:38
  I'm sorry, Titus 213. Just want to go there for a
• 3:40
  second, Titus, I'm going to start right there.
• 3:44
  Verse 11211. It says for the grace of God
• 3:47
  that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us
• 3:50
  that denying ungodliness and worldly lust, we should live
• 3:54
  soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for
• 3:59
  the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and
• 4:03
  Savior Jesus Christ. Amen, Amen.
• 4:07
  That's what we're looking for so we can be patient in the midst
• 4:11
  of all this and that's why they were patient in the midst of it
• 4:14
  because they were looking for the blessed hope of the return
• 4:17
  of their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
• 4:19
  So then we go to verse to verse 5 here.
• 4:23
  Now verse 5 is a verse that's kind of complicated, so we want
• 4:27
  to slow it down just a little bit.
• 4:29
  But it says here, which is manifest evidence of the
• 4:34
  righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the
• 4:39
  Kingdom of God for which you also suffer.
• 4:43
  So what Paul is saying here is, you know, he says the fact that
• 4:47
  you were going through these persecutions, the fact that you
• 4:51
  were going through these these trials and these tribulations,
• 4:55
  and you're going through it with patience, that is visible
• 4:59
  evidence or visible proof of the righteous judgment of God.
• 5:04
  Now, some would say, well, if you're going through that, then
• 5:06
  is God really with you? If you're going through all
• 5:09
  that? That's the kind of doubt that
• 5:11
  the world likes to try to put in.
• 5:13
  You know, if you're going through all these problems and
• 5:15
  you're, you know, you're, you're, you're being oppressed
• 5:18
  and you're being, you know, persecuted, is God really with
• 5:20
  you? You sure he hasn't rejected you?
• 5:23
  The answer to that question is no answer.
• 5:25
  That question is no. Paul says the reason why you're
• 5:29
  going through it or the reason it's a blessing that you were
• 5:32
  going through it, because as you go through that, that is the
• 5:35
  visible proof and the way that you endure it.
• 5:39
  The your response to it is visible proof that God is
• 5:43
  righteous in making you worthy of the Kingdom.
• 5:48
  This is what papa's saying. He looks at it totally
• 5:51
  different. No, this is God making you.
• 5:53
  This is God saying that you are worthy of the Kingdom.
• 5:56
  And you look at the old prophets.
• 5:58
  Jesus even thought about the old prophets.
• 6:00
  He said, look, and you go through those persecutions and
• 6:02
  all those things, rejoice, rejoice because the prophets
• 6:06
  before you went through it, because great is your reward in
• 6:09
  heaven. Great is your reward in heaven.
• 6:13
  Now we're not saying here, this is not saying that suffering
• 6:17
  makes you worthy of heaven, and nor is it saying that we add
• 6:22
  anything to the finished work of Christ.
• 6:24
  That's not what we're saying. That's not what Paul is saying
• 6:26
  here at all. We don't add anything to what
• 6:28
  Christ already did with our suffering, you know, nor does
• 6:32
  our suffering make us deserving of heaven.
• 6:35
  It's not like we get brownie points because we suffer.
• 6:37
  That's not what Paul is saying here.
• 6:40
  But what Paul is saying is that the suffering brings out the
• 6:43
  proof or the evidence that God is working in you, that God is,
• 6:48
  that God's power is upon you, his his grace is upon you, that
• 6:53
  you are able to endure it. And that's the this is the
• 6:57
  visible evidence of that. And that's not just the visible
• 7:00
  evidence to God. God already knows it.
• 7:02
  The evidence that we show, first of all, we show to ourselves
• 7:06
  that God is with us in helping us to get through it, but also
• 7:09
  to other people, they see it. And that's the testimony that
• 7:13
  gives glory to God. That's the testimony that gives
• 7:16
  glory to God. So the suffering's in the work.
• 7:19
  That's just God working through us and he's the one that makes
• 7:23
  us worthy. It's by his grace that we are
• 7:26
  worthy. So endurance and suffering
• 7:29
  proves that God's judgment of them that Thessalonian church
• 7:33
  was right and shows their fitness for the Kingdom.
• 7:38
  So in verse 6, now he goes and says, since it is a righteous
• 7:41
  thing with God to repay with tribulation those who who
• 7:45
  trouble you, pay with tribulation those who trouble
• 7:48
  you. You know the one thing we must
• 7:50
  understand that it is a righteous judgment of God that
• 7:53
  He keeps his promises. He keeps his promises to the to
• 7:58
  the, to the, to the sinners and he keeps his promises to the
• 8:01
  believers. I was always taught when I was
• 8:04
  younger that unrepentant sin is judged and faithfulness is
• 8:09
  rewarded. Now we know that God is loving
• 8:12
  because this is the issue that always comes up.
• 8:14
  But wait a minute, how can a righteous and loving God, you
• 8:18
  know, how can he send somebody to hell?
• 8:20
  How can he judge somebody that always comes up?
• 8:24
  Yes, God is loving. Yes, God is grace, God is
• 8:29
  merciful, but we also must look at God as being holy.
• 8:35
  God is righteous and God is just.
• 8:38
  So Paul says it is a righteous thing with God to repay
• 8:44
  tribulation for those who trouble you.
• 8:46
  So those who are unrepentant sinners and who are troubling
• 8:52
  those who are believers right now, they may think they're on
• 8:55
  top of it, like they're ahead of the game, like everything is
• 8:58
  going perfect for them. Everything is our way, and
• 9:01
  nothing seems to be going your way.
• 9:03
  Boy, I wouldn't want to be you. I don't want to be you.
• 9:07
  You know, look at you. Like, man, I don't want to live
• 9:09
  like that. Yeah, that's the way they feel
• 9:13
  now. But just like Lazarus and the
• 9:16
  rich man, the tables turned and it got to the point where, in
• 9:19
  fact, Lazarus, you know, when Lazarus was what was in the
• 9:22
  world, he was a beggar and the rich man had it all.
• 9:26
  He had it all. It was all going his way.
• 9:28
  Everything was According to him. But then when they both died and
• 9:32
  and and had to go and see the Lord, the tables turned.
• 9:36
  Lazarus was the one that was receiving the good things, and
• 9:41
  it was a rich man that was dealing with the judgment and
• 9:44
  the torment. And this is, and Paul is saying
• 9:47
  that that's what's going to happen here.
• 9:49
  Those who trouble you, they're going to receive tribulation,
• 9:54
  they're going to receive trouble.
• 9:56
  But you, it's a righteous thing with God that for you, you are
• 10:01
  given rest. You're giving rest with us.
• 10:05
  So Paul said we're all going to enjoy the rest of God.
• 10:09
  We're going to enjoy that the rest with Jesus Christ.
• 10:12
  And that word rest here actually means relief or a release from
• 10:17
  trouble. It's a release from our
• 10:20
  laborers, from persecution, from affliction.
• 10:25
  It's the turning of the tables. So we look forward to that.
• 10:30
  I could imagine, I can imagine that those who were back in the
• 10:34
  Thessalonian Church, who was going through all that
• 10:36
  persecution, they're probably waking up every day looking to
• 10:39
  see that. Is my enemies drop dead yet?
• 10:42
  They drop dead yet. Have they been judged yet?
• 10:45
  It's not quite going to happen that way.
• 10:47
  But when he returns, that's when they will see the judgment of
• 10:53
  God. When would this happen?
• 10:54
  When the Lord you can see it here in verse the bottom of
• 10:57
  verse 7 when it says when the Lord is revealed from heaven
• 11:01
  with his mighty angels in flaming fire taking vengeance on
• 11:06
  those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel
• 11:10
  of Jesus Christ. Now there's fire that we talk
• 11:13
  about here. We see it so often in the Word
• 11:16
  of God and it represents always represents one of two things,
• 11:19
  fire that represents the presence of God or represents
• 11:22
  the judgement of God. And usually where the believers
• 11:26
  are concerned, it represents the very presence or power of God.
• 11:30
  And that's why it was when a burning Bush that Moses was able
• 11:36
  to talk to God or God spoke to Moses through a burning Bush.
• 11:39
  It was the presence of God. When they came on the mountain,
• 11:42
  that mountain would appear to be on fire.
• 11:45
  The smoke and the fire and the thunderings of the mountain,
• 11:49
  that was the presence of God. They were led by a pillar of
• 11:53
  fire at night because it was the presence of God.
• 11:58
  But then the judgement of God is for the unbelievers.
• 12:01
  Fires represent the judgement of God.
• 12:03
  We see that where the, when, when Elijah called down fire
• 12:07
  from heaven and burned up the, the, the, the, the soldiers of
• 12:12
  the king who wanted to do harm to Elijah, when the Lord burned
• 12:17
  up Sodom and Gomorrah with fire. So that, that, that fire like a
• 12:22
  judgement. But it also that fire is also a
• 12:24
  refining fire for us. And when we go into the fire or
• 12:29
  the Lord puts us into the fire, it refines us.
• 12:32
  It, it, it, it tears off the bad things that we don't need.
• 12:36
  And it keeps the very soul things that the, the, the, the,
• 12:39
  the things that we do need. It helped it, it strengthens
• 12:42
  those things in us. That too is done through the
• 12:45
  fire of God. So it's interesting because in
• 12:49
  some reports you see that it talks about the Lord coming with
• 12:53
  clouds. And that's when we, we who are
• 12:56
  looking forward to him coming, you know, that's us looking.
• 12:59
  We see him coming in the clouds. You know, that's that's for the
• 13:02
  believers to rejoice in. But for the unbelievers, they're
• 13:06
  going to see him coming in flaming fire because vengeance,
• 13:10
  he's coming to put vengeance to strike vengeance on
• 13:13
  unbelievable. He's coming with judgement.
• 13:16
  He's coming with judgement and he talks about two groups, the
• 13:20
  people that he's going to be distributing vengeance to, those
• 13:24
  who do not know God. Many believe that they are the
• 13:28
  Gentile unbelievers, those who do not know God.
• 13:31
  The Bible talks in several places of Gentiles as being
• 13:35
  those who do not know God, and also on those who do not obey
• 13:39
  the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
• 13:41
  And that would be like your unbelieving Jews.
• 13:44
  They know God, but they're not obeying the gospel of God.
• 13:48
  They're not believing Jesus Christ as being the Messiah, so
• 13:50
  they too are going to be judged as well.
• 13:54
  Either way, for those of us who believe, it's going to be a
• 13:58
  glorious day. But for those of us who don't
• 14:00
  believe, it's going to be her horrific day either way.
• 14:05
  And then we go to verse 9 and in verse 9 he says there, you know,
• 14:09
  these shall be punished from everlasting destruction, with
• 14:13
  everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from
• 14:17
  the glory of his power. And when you consider this
• 14:23
  statement, this may be the worst part of judgment.
• 14:28
  This may be the worst part of judgment, the separation from
• 14:32
  God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, eternal
• 14:35
  separation. That means they are no longer
• 14:39
  have any access to His grace. They no longer have any access
• 14:44
  to His forgiven, His forgiveness.
• 14:47
  They no longer have any access to His mercy.
• 14:50
  They no longer have any access to any of those things.
• 14:53
  The power of God, they have no access to that anymore.
• 14:57
  It's done right now. Even unbelievers are seeing
• 15:02
  mercy. They're seeing the grace of God
• 15:05
  right now, and we who believe are seeing it.
• 15:09
  But there's going to come a day when those who do not believe
• 15:14
  will no longer have access to His forgiveness or access to His
• 15:19
  grace or His mercy. That may be the worst part of
• 15:23
  judgement, and that's for eternity.
• 15:26
  That's for eternity. Right now an unbeliever can
• 15:30
  repent and have access to not only God's grace, but His mercy,
• 15:34
  His forgiveness, and he can receive the Kingdom of heaven.
• 15:37
  But there's going to come a time where that can't happen, That
• 15:40
  can't happen, so the consequences will be final.
• 15:45
  That may be the worst part of judgment, in my opinion.
• 15:48
  And then we go to verse 10. It says when he comes in that
• 15:51
  day to be glorified in his sense and to be admired among all
• 15:56
  those who believe, because our testimony among you was
• 16:02
  believed. So he's coming with, He's
• 16:05
  coming, He's going to return and he's going to return.
• 16:08
  And for his Saints, it's going to be glorious.
• 16:10
  Like we said, it's going to be a glorious day.
• 16:13
  He's going to be magnified by those of us who believe.
• 16:16
  That means he's going to be made larger and more evident and
• 16:20
  they're going to see it in US. He's going to see it in US.
• 16:23
  I mean, God is never more glorified than when we can look
• 16:28
  at someone who is a trophy of his grace and His mercy.
• 16:32
  There are people in our neighborhood, and I'm probably
• 16:35
  one of them thinking about it. Didn't think I was at that time.
• 16:38
  Thought I was OK. Now, they probably talk about me
• 16:41
  like that, you know, but they probably thought that he was
• 16:43
  never this. This guy ain't ever going to say
• 16:46
  he ain't going to have him. There ain't no heaven in hell.
• 16:49
  You know, there are people that were just kind of crazy.
• 16:52
  They just kind of did some some outlandish things and they don't
• 16:56
  mess. This guy is this guy is through,
• 16:58
  you know, he's done. But then God starts working in
• 17:03
  his heart and you see him again and it's like, Oh my God, what
• 17:07
  happened? He speaks in a way that makes
• 17:10
  sense. He's no longer doing things that
• 17:13
  are crazy. He's dressed in a way that just
• 17:16
  looks like he's civil. I mean, it just like what
• 17:19
  happened. And we saw an example of that
• 17:22
  when the demonics, you know, when, when Jesus went before the
• 17:25
  demonics, the whole town looked at this guy.
• 17:28
  They were afraid of him. They were afraid of him.
• 17:30
  They didn't want to walk by him. But then when Jesus got a hold
• 17:33
  to him, they saw him sitting beside Jesus and they couldn't
• 17:37
  even believe it was the same person.
• 17:39
  That's the glory of God and He's going to do do that with so many
• 17:43
  people in that day. We are going to be the ones that
• 17:47
  show glory. It's going to be in us.
• 17:49
  We want to glory. He's going to be glorified in
• 17:53
  us. So we believe with those who
• 17:56
  reflect His glory and not those who have rejected His glory by
• 18:03
  rejecting His Son Jesus Christ. In John 17, He says, you know,
• 18:08
  yours are mine and mine are yours, and I am glorified in
• 18:13
  them. Jesus said I am glorified in
• 18:17
  them. And then he's going to be, you
• 18:19
  know, then we're going to look at him and be marveled.
• 18:21
  The Bible says that we're going to, you know, he's going to be
• 18:24
  admired among all of those who believe.
• 18:26
  We're going to look at him and be astonished and we're going to
• 18:29
  be, we're going to marvel at his presence.
• 18:31
  We're going to just marvel. We're going to be in awe of his
• 18:35
  presence. Can you imagine just seeing him?
• 18:38
  I can't wait to see him can't wait to see him can't wait to
• 18:41
  see his face. We're going to marvel in his
• 18:44
  presence. Now those who don't believe
• 18:47
  they're going to be running from his presence.
• 18:50
  He's going to marvel. We're going to marvel at his
• 18:52
  presence. Then verses I'm about to finish
• 18:54
  up here, verses 11 and 12, it says, therefore we also pray
• 18:58
  always for you that our God would count you worthy of his
• 19:02
  calling and fulfill all the goodness, all the good pleasure
• 19:06
  of his goodness and the work of faith with power.
• 19:10
  Let's just stop there for a second.
• 19:11
  So the goodness of God is what they're talking about here.
• 19:16
  Now he says you're going to be, you know, he says that you know,
• 19:20
  God would count the I'm praying that God would count you worthy
• 19:24
  of his calling. That means that God would
• 19:26
  declare or decree you worthy of his calling, that God's power is
• 19:33
  working in you and as a result of that you are going to be
• 19:37
  counter considered, decreed, declared worthy of his calling
• 19:44
  and fulfill all the good pleasure of his goodness.
• 19:47
  Now the Bible talks in many places about walking worthy of
• 19:51
  his calling. We can't do that on our own.
• 19:53
  We can't do that on our own. We blow it, we blow it, but we
• 19:57
  do know that God is able to make us worthy.
• 20:00
  He's able to, He's able to work in us in a way that we will live
• 20:06
  a life that's worthy of his calling and he says and fulfill.
• 20:13
  All the good pleasure of His goodness.
• 20:16
  And it's interesting when you look at the good pleasure of
• 20:19
  his, of his goodness. It's not just doing good things.
• 20:23
  It's not just doing good things, but it's doing good things with
• 20:28
  a good motive, and that motive is pleasing the Lord Jesus
• 20:32
  Christ, not pleasing a man, not trying to position yourself, not
• 20:38
  trying to weaken someone by doing something good for them,
• 20:41
  so you weaken them to an opportunity to take advantage of
• 20:44
  them later. That's not what this is talking
• 20:46
  about. This is talking about doing good
• 20:49
  with good motives. It's good motives.
• 20:53
  The meditations of my heart and the words of my mouth, OK, are
• 20:58
  both pleasing to God. Not just me flattering you with
• 21:04
  my word, trying to butter you up, to weaken you so that I can
• 21:08
  take advantage of you, or so that I could be given a special
• 21:13
  favor, or whatever it is that we may want to gain with our plan
• 21:18
  to butter up or flatter. But this is actually living,
• 21:23
  living it and having it in our hearts to do that which is good.
• 21:28
  And again, that only comes through the Spirit.
• 21:31
  We can't do that ourselves. That comes through the Spirit of
• 21:34
  God. All this is a grace of God.
• 21:36
  It goes back to the earlier, that earlier word of grace.
• 21:39
  All this is a grace of God. To do good things is a grace of
• 21:44
  God. And then, and then, then we, you
• 21:47
  know, we finish up with this. The reason why verse 12 is that
• 21:51
  the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified.
• 21:54
  That's why he's praying that for them so that the name of the
• 21:58
  Lord Jesus Christ would be glorified in them.
• 22:01
  And you and him according to the grace of our God and the Lord
• 22:06
  Jesus Christ. It's the grace of God that saves
• 22:10
  us. It's the grace of God that keeps
• 22:12
  us. It's the grace of God that
• 22:14
  causes us to be able to stand under persecution.
• 22:18
  It was the grace of God that caused this church to be able to
• 22:21
  stand in the tough days. It's the grace of God.
• 22:25
  And it's the grace of God that's holding us even now.
• 22:28
  It holds us and it holds those who are not saved.
• 22:32
  So I just want to say to those who are listening, and there's
• 22:34
  someone here today that have not given their life to Christ.
• 22:39
  You've thought about it, maybe you've heard things, saw things
• 22:43
  that begin to pull at your heart.
• 22:45
  And you said maybe tomorrow, maybe tomorrow, maybe the next
• 22:49
  day, maybe when I get older. I'm not quite ready yet,
• 22:53
  brothers and sisters, we don't know when that last opportunity
• 22:57
  comes. We don't know it may be within
• 23:00
  the next 5-10, fifteen, 20 years, or it could be within the
• 23:05
  next 5 minutes that we leave here and go to be with our Lord
• 23:08
  Jesus Christ. We don't know.
• 23:11
  People are leaving here every day and they're not all going to
• 23:14
  be with the Lord. So I plead with you, I thank
• 23:19
  you, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, Repent for your sin.
• 23:26
  Repent. He is a good God.
• 23:28
  He is willing and He is able to forgive you and to cleanse you
• 23:33
  of everything you've ever done, make you new.
• 23:37
  Repent today. Turn your heart to Him today.
• 23:41
  Turn from that wicked way and trust Him for your salvation.
• 23:46
  Do it today, don't wait till tomorrow, do it today.
• 23:49
  He's ready and He's willing to receive you.
• 23:54
  His arms are open wide. He's ready to receive you.
• 23:57
  But there will be a day when it's going to be too late.
• 24:00
  Let that not be today. Don't tell me, Don't test.
• 24:07
  It you've been listening to Living Waters of Grace, he
• 24:10
  wanted you to be aware that this message was given by Pastor
• 24:13
  Lewis Harrell, an associate pastor serving alongside Pastor
• 24:17
  Clark. Although you're familiar with
• 24:19
  Pastor Clark being the voice of Living Waters of Grace, you'll
• 24:22
  now have the opportunity to hear both pastors on this program.
• 24:26
  Pastor Lewis is making his way through 1st and 2nd
• 24:29
  Thessalonians. These books are a constant
• 24:32
  reminder of the blessings that await faithful followers.
• 24:36
  But this was often difficult for such young believers.
• 24:39
  The Second Thessalonians 2-3 says let no one deceive you by
• 24:43
  any means, for that day will not come unless the falling away
• 24:47
  comes first and the man of sin is revealed, the Son of
• 24:51
  perdition. When you choose to remain
• 24:53
  faithful to God, the one who is always faithful to you, it comes
• 24:57
  with its own reward. The new church in Thessalonica
• 25:00
  was thriving, but Paul correctly saw the need to reinforce God's
• 25:05
  steadfast love and identify him as a promise keeper.
• 25:09
  Paul's second letter reads like a response to questions the new
• 25:13
  church was struggling to answer. Living Waters of Grace is a
• 25:17
  ministry out of Calvary Chapel Westmoreland, located in
• 25:20
  Greensburg, PA. Are you in the area?
• 25:23
  We would love to continue learning more about life in
• 25:26
  Christ together with you. Stop in and see us this Sunday
• 25:29
  morning at 10:30 AM. When you do, be sure to mention
• 25:32
  that you heard us here. You'd love to hear the stories
• 25:35
  of how God is using this program to reach people.
