In this sermon for the Feast of Pentecost, Pastor Douthwaite explores the "rivers of living water" promised by Jesus. He contrasts the world's empty promises and the "thirst" for hope, meaning, and peace with the genuine gifts of the Holy Spirit poured out through Christ's crucifixion and glorification. He emphasizes that the Holy Spirit provides what the world cannot: true forgiveness and a new life in Christ, transforming the believer from the old to the new.
