Preacher: Jeremy Herbert

Theme: Jesus is a real Savior for real people–and that is good news worth talking about.

Text: John 4:1-42

Notes:

1. Christ takes real time to talk to real people
   • He cares about people on the fringe
   • He isn’t afraid to rub shoulders with the “wrong” kind of people
   • He meets us where they are
2. Christ speaks to our deepest needs
3. Christ tackles our real issues
   • The issue isn’t so much the sins we commit–it is the reason we commit them
     • We commit sin because we are rebelling against God
4. Christ keeps the main thing the main thing
   • The point of salvation is worship
   • We must love God supremely and live devotedly
   • Our external acts will change based on an internal transformation
5. Christ doesn’t just give salvation–He gives Himself

We are missional worshipers calling needy people to a soul-satisfying Savior.
