Grace Bible Church Glorifying God by Making Disciples of Jesus Christ

To God Be The Glory # 56 To God be the glory great things He hath done! So loved He the world that He gave us His Son Crosby, Fanny Jane / Doane, William Howard © Public Domain ARR UBP – CCLI License No. 378119

Who yielded His life an atonement for sin And opened the life-gate That all may go in.

Praise the Lord! Let the earth hear His voice! Praise the Lord! Let the people rejoice!

O come to the Father thro’ Jesus the Son, And give Him the glory great things He hath done!

O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood - To every believer, the promise of God.

The vilest offender who truly believes, That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.

Great things He hath taught us; Great things He hath done, And great our rejoicing Thro’ Jesus, the Son.

But purer and higher and greater will be Our wonder, our transport, When Jesus we see.

Therefore also God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:9-11

Jesus, Name above all names, Beautiful Savior, Glorious Lord, Emmanuel, God is with us, Blessed Redeemer, Living Word.

Witnessing to Strangers John 4:1-26 / Matthew 4:12 / Mark 1:14 Every Christian is to be active in telling others the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ How do you turn a conversation to spiritual matters?

Departure from Judea John 4:1-3 Jesus’ disciples, not Jesus, were doing the baptizing Jesus leaves for Galilee to avoid conflict with the Pharisees, for it was not the time for that yet Jesus goes to Galilee after John the Baptist is put in jail (Matthew 4:12; Mark 1:14)

Passing Through Samaria John 4:4-6 The antagonism between the Jews and the Samaritans extended back to the time of Ezra and Nehemiah The Samaritans were a mixed people who mixed paganism and Jewish worship of the Lord Judeans avoided Samaria, but Galileans would travel through it

Passing Through Samaria John 4:4-6 Going through Samaria was the more difficult route for Jesus, but he “had to pass through” it God arranges our circumstances to give us divine opportunities to glorify Him Jesus was “wearied from His journey” when He sat by Jacob’s well about noon

Opening the Conversation John 4:7-9 While the disciples are gone, Jesus surprises the Samaritan woman by asking her for a drink Jews would not eat from the same dishes as Samaritans Jesus did not act according to religious stereotype, but saw the woman as an object of God’s love

Opening the Conversation John 4:7-9 What does Jesus want you to do when you meet someone even if they might be offensive to you? Jesus’ request to the Samaritan woman opened the door for meaningful conversation

Inviting Questions John 3:10-12 He interjects a statement that gives a clue that He is talking about a spiritual subject Living water referred to fresh water coming from a spring or stream instead of a cistern

Inviting Questions John 3:10-12 The woman could not see past the physical yet Challenge people to think beyond their own little world and consider deeper issues - ask questions

Introducing the Spiritual Truth John 4:13-15 Physical water does not have the properties of the water Jesus spoke about Jesus spoke of eternal life, a spiritual concept, but she still did not understand

Introducing the Spiritual Truth John 4:13-15 Be patient, Satan blinds the eyes of the unbelieving - continue to graciously challenge and ask questions

Creating Thirst John 4:16-20 Jesus’ request is designed to make the spiritual matter more personal to her Her curt answer is her defense to end the subject Jesus exposes her sin, but is not condemning

Creating Thirst John 4:16-20 Verse 19 - she strives to change the subject, but also shows a longing for something deeper She recognizes that Jesus is a prophet - and she want to know how to seek God

Declaring the Truth John 4:21-24 The issue in worshiping God is not the location but the spirit and attitude of the worshiper Jesus’ future death and resurrection would establish a new covenant by which God would dwell in men The effort to worship the Lord was commendable, but it was perverted from the truth and therefore false

Declaring the Truth John 4:21-24 God is a spirit, so true worship of Him must reflect His nature God is true, so true worship must reflect His commands and promises Your goal in talking with others is to point them to God Himself that they may worship Him in spirit & truth

Providing Hope John 4:25-26 She is ignorant in many ways, but she longs for the Messiah to come because in Him there is hope Jesus graciously reveals His identity to her God is gracious, and it is by that grace that He extends salvation to man

Conclusion Follow Jesus’ example and reach out to those rejected by the self-righteous with love & point them to God

At Calvary #492 Years I spent in vanity and pride, Caring not my Lord was crucified, Knowing not it was for me He died On Calvary. Years I spent in vanity and pride, Caring not my Lord was crucified, Knowing not it was for me He died On Calvary.

Mercy there was great & grace was free, Pardon there was multiplied to me, There my burdened soul Found liberty - at Calvary. Mercy there was great & grace was free, Pardon there was multiplied to me, There my burdened soul Found liberty - at Calvary.

By God’s Word at last My sin I learned Then I trembled at The law I’d spurned, ‘Til my guilty soul imploring turned To Calvary By God’s Word at last My sin I learned Then I trembled at The law I’d spurned, ‘Til my guilty soul imploring turned To Calvary

Now I’ve given to Jesus everything, Now I gladly own Him as my King, Now my raptured soul can only sing To Calvary. Now I’ve given to Jesus everything, Now I gladly own Him as my King, Now my raptured soul can only sing To Calvary.

Oh the love that drew Salvation’s plan! Oh the grace That brought it down to man! Oh the mighty gulf that God did span - At Calvary. Oh the love that drew Salvation’s plan! Oh the grace That brought it down to man! Oh the mighty gulf that God did span - At Calvary.
