This substantial volume includes more than fifty never-before-published expository sermons on John 4 from one of the twentieth century's greatest preachers. It was just a conversation between two people by the side of a well in Samaria. One, a local woman, came to perform her daily task of drawing water. Another, a Jewish man tired from traveling, sat down for a drink. But he wasn't just any Jewish man, and this wasn't just any conversation. The man, Jesus, revealed himself as the Messiah, leading to the conversion of not only the Samaritan woman but many from her town. Now, for the first time, fifty-six sermons by Martyn Lloyd-Jones on this passage of Scripture are available in Living Water. Lloyd-Jones, known for his ability to clearly communicate profound theological concepts, digs into this familiar passage from the fourth chapter of the Gospel of John, exposing fresh layers of truth. His perceptive analysis is helpful for all who thirst for the living water that only Jesus can provide.

"As cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country." Refreshing insights from former missionary Ruth Paxon point the way to a full and satisfying life in the Spirit of the living Lord, who cleanses our souls and quenches our thirst, that we may never thirst again.

Designed to help preachers engage in a disciplined and deliberate study of biblical materials, the central premise of Living Water for Thirsty Souls is that preaching should be grounded by and centered in the truths and lessons of the Bible. Author Marvin McMickle's approach to biblical exegesis for preaching is easy for students to learn and useful for pastors to employ, even long after their student days have passed. This eight-step approach covers the 8 Ls -- limits, literature, language, location, links, leads, lessons, and life application -- complete with sample sermons to illustrate each step of this approach. It is an approach that clearly reflects the traditional methodology for doing biblical exegesis. These teaching tools are guaranteed to take the preacher through the transition from text to sermon, resulting in a rich harvest of preaching material. Book jacket.
