Failure: is trying to survive the world.

We are not here to survive the word but to change it

Recap: Jesus meets Women at this well. --- She is not particularly happy because she want to hide---- Jesus offers her living water

Reading John 4:27-42 (Anastasia)

27 Just then his disciples returned and were surprised to find him talking with a woman. But no one asked, “What do you want?” or “Why are you talking with her?”

28 Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people, 29 “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Messiah?” 30 They came out of the town and made their way toward him.

31 Meanwhile his disciples urged him, “Rabbi, eat something.”

32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”

33 Then his disciples said to each other, “Could someone have brought him food?”

34 “My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. 35 Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. 36 Even now the one who reaps draws a wage and harvests a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together. 37 Thus the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true. 38 I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor.”

Many Samaritans Believe

39 Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.” 40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days. 41 And because of his words many more became believers.

42 They said to the woman, “We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world.”

Prayer

Stay focused on Mission (Obey the Father)

34 “My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.

Whats the Mission: Share the Gospel

SPREAD GOSPEL = Good News
Its so essay to get distracted

God’s Will Will Fulfill

It nourishes you
It bring meaning to your life.
For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Heb 12:2

cures cancer Shake the mans or women’s hand that cures cancer

thanks for not giving up
thanks for investing all that time
THIS IS GOING TO BE YOU
Eternity truly matters

Don’t be distracted

35 Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. 36 Even now the one who reaps draws a wage and harvests a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together. 37 Thus the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true. 38 I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor.”

I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields!

We get caught up in things that don’t matter and we miss the ball
Soccer in the face (bunch of hispanic kids in the heart of Chicago)
Just under 50% of Americans who don’t go to church have said if they were invited by a friend they would attend church
Don’t get distracted:
don’t let the normal challenges of the day get in the way:
