Too Much Information
John 4:
Jesus had an assignment to reveal Himself to those around Him. A brief but very profound ministry. His own people would not listen so He goes elsewhere. He gets weary and rests at the well.
Physical well- spiritual well
As leaders for us to reach people we have to be able communicate about something we both now
.... Meet them on their turf
..... The story unfolds:: they are both thirsty but thirsty for something different .... Literal vs spiritual
Water here is the common denominator between them both
....Starts off with something natural and then gets personal
It is all about relationship
.... Move past religion
You have had 5 husbands and the one you are with now is not your husband but I don't care
Look at the disciples.. The religious people are questioning themselves on why He is talking to her
We can't try to push people into a relationship with Jesus through the eyehole of Religion
She runs to the village and tells everyone about the man that just told me everything about my life and didn't care
... We must release people from our own perception of what we think people are gonna think about them
.... We must release people into relationship rather than into religion
.... Why do we think He does not call us to be vulnerable
.... Ministry calls us to give Too Much Information
..... We need to run back to the community and scream "Come See A Man" who loves me
..... People want to connect to those who know about them but still love them
..... This women had to perform for 6 men until she met The Man who loved her for who she is
We must release people from the shame of their past
He loves us right where we are
