A new-born baby is 78% water. From a distance in outer space our planet appears like a blue dot because of the presence of water here. Water is fundamental to our lives, indeed to all physical life as we know it. Water is referred to throughout the Bible?

From the deep of Genesis, the parting of the waters, the river of life that flowed out of Eden, the Flood to the Hebrews passing through the Red Sea. From Jonah being swallowed by a great fish, to new stories of the river of life in Ezekiel. From baptism in the New Testament and Jesus’ promise of “living water” - water is woven through the whole biblical story.

How can it bring both judgment and salvation? Why do beasts emerge from the sea in Daniel and Revelation? And why does Scripture end with the River of Life, yet say, “there is no longer any sea”?

Come explore one of Scripture’s most powerful themes and discover how it ultimately points to Christ, the source of living water.
