8.24.14 // Connect With People

HOW TO CONNECT

1. Walk Across The Room

John 4:3 - He [Jesus] left Judea and departed again to Galilee. [4] But He needed to go through Samaria.

2. Talk About Something Shared

John 4:7 - A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give Me a drink.”

3. Knock Down All Barriers

John 4:9 - Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.

4. Lock Onto Their Needs

• Satisfying Life

John 4:13 - Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, [14] but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.”

• Healthy Relationships

John 4:17 - The woman answered and said, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You have well said, ‘I have no husband,’ [18] for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband.

• Connection With God

John 4:23 - But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. [24] God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.

John 4:25 - The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming” (who is called Christ). “When He comes, He will tell us all things.” [26] Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am He.”
