Bro. Curtis contrasts the various answers to the question "Who is Jesus Christ?", then explores how Jesus provided a way for each and every person to have a personal relationship with Him. 

Bro. Rodney references the story of Jesus meeting the woman at the well and relates the attributes of water to Jesus Christ. 

Bro. James recounts the events of Jesus' crucifixion & resurrection, then focuses on the atonement & healing that Christ earned for us with the stripes he bore. When Jesus thirsted on the cross, it seemed that the soldiers were preparing water in a sponge, but it was vinegar.  Bro. James implores us to not crucify Jesus again in our hearts, but accept his resurrection & triumph over sin. This is the infallible proof that Jesus provides personally to us individually - victory over sin & iniquity in our life. 

Scriptures referenced: Acts 1, Isaiah 53, Romans 8:11

Bro. James speaks that we need a personal witness in our soul so that we move and act as God directs, not according to our own motivation, like Moses and Noah. 

Scriptures referenced: John 13:35, John 14, I Cor 12:13, Hebrews 11:8, I John 5

Bro. James talks about being transformed by Jesus Christ.  The congregation sings "There is a Foundation".  Referencing Romans 12:2  "…be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind…", Bro. James progresses to the thought of being "converted" and "becoming a new creature". It's essential that God cleanses us; we can't clean ourselves with good works and morality.  We can clean the outside of our body, but only God can cleanse our soul. Other scriptures mentioned: Matthew 18:3, Acts 3:19, Titus 3:5, John 3:7, I Peter 1:22-25.
