Where is Your Fountain?

Psalm 87
Andy Nagahara

0 Of the Sons of Korah. A psalm. A song. 
1 He has set his foundation on the holy mountain; 
2 the LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. 
3 Glorious things are said of you, O city of God: <Selah> 
4 “I will record Rahab and Babylon among those who acknowledge me– Philistia too, and Tyre, along with Cush — and will say, ‘This one was born in Zion.'” 
5 Indeed, of Zion it will be said, “This one and that one were born in her, and the Most High himself will establish her.” 
6 The LORD will write in the register of the peoples: “This one was born in Zion.” <Selah> 
7 As they make music they will sing, “All my fountains are in you.” 

A. All people belong to the Lord

1. Conversion is not the goal
2. How can we make God known?

B. Drinking the water of life from the fountain

1. The water of life that all people need
2. The fountain we access through worship

Summary

We have the desire to introduce other people to Jesus because having been introduced to Jesus ourselves, we know that we cannot live without him. We want others to know what is important to us. Those who know Jesus, and know that their souls will never thirst again, can say with confidence, “All my fountains are in you.”

For Discussion

  1. How does God view people of other religions?
  2. What does a fountain represent?
