Came for Something Good...Left with Something Better!

Coming for Something Good

John 4:7 KJV 1900

There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

You all came here for something good tonight

You will get to see your kid sing some songs, say some verses

We will get to see a video showing all the fun things they did this week

You came here to see your kids get awards

Maybe you came here for the food and the bounce houses that we’ll enjoy afterwards

All of this is good

We are kind of like this woman we read of in verse 7

She came to a well to draw some water.

How many like water?

So this woman came to the right place to get water…a well

She begins having a conversation with Jesus

Many things He is saying confuses her

(Discuss the events of the account)

She came for water but left with something so much better!

She left with living water

Many young people came to Summer Bible Time for a good time

But left with so much more

Many of us may have come here this evening for something good, but please will leave with something better

When I was a kid, my dad, brother, and I went to Best Buy. I can’t remember what we were going there for. But Best Buy is a pretty fun place to go as a kid. You get to look at all the electronics and gizmos and gadgets.

As we were just meandering through the store our eyes were drawn to a beautiful TV. But this was no ordinary TV…This was a 3D TV. We begged my dad to get it and he said that he would call mom to see if it was ok (thinking she would say no). He got off the phone and said, “She said yes...” 20 minutes later we were hauling out a brand new 3D TV. We went in for something good but left with something so much better.

Will that be you tonight?
