Hey, coming to you from North Central Ohio. We share with you the voice of the Nazarene, a week by week. Venture into the Word of God, sponsored by the Bucyrus Ohio Church of the Nazarene. We join our pastor, Reverend Ray La Salle, and the voice of the Nazarene,

Pastor Ray LaSalle: 0:17

beginning in the third verse concerning Jesus. He left Judea, which is down in the southern part of the kingdom, and departed again into Galilee. That's the Sea of Galilee. He's going up north, and it'll be the northern part of the kingdom, and he must needs go through Samaria, have you ever felt a burden on your heart, to someplace or to someone that God began to put somebody on your mind. It's a question you can nod or, I guess if you're not nodding, it hadn't happened. I was a kid evangelist. It was many, many years ago. I was in a city. I'll be careful. I'm knowing that we're on live stream, and I don't need more than five or 10 calls later, and I get them. Don't think I don't. I try not to tell any illustrations anymore. But I was pulling out of a city, and it was Sunday evening, and I was heading northbound. I was heading home. There was a kid preacher of my I wasn't married yet. There was a little town along the way, and the pastor and his wife had been friends. She was the best at making cheeseburgers of anybody alive. She just knew how to do it. I don't know what Mary and Martha did, but Jesus showed up at their house quite often too, so I'm sure it was something, and it's getting late, and I knew they would probably be up, and I knew it'd be all right to call, but I thought it's personally I thought it was a little late myself, and I began to feel such a burden to stop. Now I'm heading up the interstate, and it kept getting stronger and stronger. We didn't have cell phones in those days, and so when I pulled off at the exit, I I found one of those pay phones. Anybody remember what a pay phone is? Well, that cell phone's a pay phone too. The bill comes monthly, you know. And I called the parsonage, and she answered and I said, Do you have any cheeseburgers at your house. She said, Ray La Salle, get over here quick. I'm getting ready to start them, and I still felt very heavy. I pulled in and went up and and he opened the door and I entered in, and the cheese burgers were already frying, and she was putting the buns in the skillet, one of those cast iron skillets, and crusting the inner side of the bun and also steaming it and and she had put some cheese patties down on top of the hamburger, and it was beginning to start to meld and beginning to bubble. And I sat down, and he looked over, and he said, You stopped for a reason, didn't you? And I nodded, yes. And she turned around and said, he's here for cheeseburgers. And tears started down his face and said, It's not cheeseburgers, is it? I said, No. He said, Why did you stop? And I didn't know what to say. The only thing I knew God had so burdened my heart. I called him by name, and I said, I'm afraid you're in trouble. And about that time, from over at the skillet area, she spun around and she got upset, and she said, Hey, kid, you have no business telling my husband he's in trouble. What do you know? You're just a kid. And he started sobbing, and slid off of his chair and down on his knees, and said, God sent him. We were just getting ready to start to pray. And the phone rang, and he took the phone call, wiped the tears, got to his feet, struggling, and said, I've got to go. I'm getting a call. I got to go. It was a girl calling him. She claimed she took down over 14 preachers. I. Saw her at a camp meeting here some time ago with the latest one that she had brought down too. Finished this ministry. I felt so burdened to stop it wasn't an accident that God sent a kid preacher late at night that could have solved some big issues. If he had minded God, he said, I must needs go through Samaria. There was a reason why he was sent to Samaria, led of the Spirit. Then cometh he to the city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. Now, Jacob's well was there. That's well was probably over 4000 years old. Maybe a couple of you remember helping to dig it. I don't know. Jesus, therefore being wearied with this journey set thus on the well, and it was about the sixth hour. That'd be about 12 o'clock. It'd be about lunchtime then, and here Catch this. Then there cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus saith unto her, give me to drink. Now Jesus began His ministry in the book of Matthew. He turns and he says to His disciples and to us that he said, I want you to be something. Want you to be something. I want you to be salt and light. I want you to be seasoning, and I I want you to show, turn the lights on. You're the salt of the earth. But if the salt of the Lost is savor, wherewith shall it be salt? It is thenceforth good for nothing but to be cast out and be trodden under the foot of men be light. Now, light makes things brighter, and salt makes things better, like Mississippi fried potatoes and french fries and those kinds of things, makes them better. And he's saying, I want you to show Jesus. But then he gets to the end of his ministry in Matthew 28 verse, 19. And he said, I not only want you to show the light, but I want you to share the light, Go into all nations and teach. So he began his ministry by saying, show it. And he ends his ministry by saying, share it, and we're to share Jesus. And we do that with our lives and with our lives. We're to show it. We're to share it. Now you may live the Gospel before your family and and still not reach them. Fact The matter of this very same chapter, verse 44 it says that a prophet is without honor in his own country. We get so used to them. We're around them till their life doesn't mean that much to us. You understand that. But he's saying, if you read on into the account while you're living the gospel, you may not see the results of it in your own family, but you need to claim Ephesians, chapter six, verse eight, knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord. What does that mean? Pastor? That means that if you're involved trying to reach somebody else, God will send somebody to reach yours and have an impact. That's the good news. And so I want to challenge you this year. I don't know what Sunday we're going to do it, but I want to challenge you. We're going to have a Sunday where everyone brings one. Just want to get you to the mood of that. I want you to get you into the habit of that. Can you imagine what would happen here at our other campuses if everybody on one particular Sunday made up my mind I'm going to have an impact on someone. I'm going to start spending some time with them, and I'm going to share some interest, I'm going to turn the light on, and I'm going to season their life, and going to help make them hungry for the gospel. Can you imagine the impact it would have on our community? I'm only asking for one. Is that too much? I've been your pastor 100 years. Surely I could twist your arm and get you to do just to reach one. And let's do that. We're going to set up a Sunday for and we'll talk to you about it more later. Now there's 40 times in the Bible where a person met Jesus and he radically changed their life, 40 different occasions. It. But get this, 34 out of the 40 of those individuals were brought by somebody else. It was somebody else who brought that person to Jesus Christ, and this year, I'm praying God helped some of us to bring somebody to church where they could meet Jesus. Now, Jacob's well was located there more than 4000 years old. Now it's 135 to 140 feet deep. It's now located in the basement of a Greek Orthodox Church. You can go down to that church, you go into the basement, and you'll see the mouth of what's called Jacob's well, where Jesus had this encounter. And this is the well, and this was the place where this woman came. Now, understand, the Bible said she came at noontime, around 12 o'clock, that should have sent up a red flag immediately. I mean, those women who were getting water for their families would come either early in the morning or late in the evening, and she didn't want to come to either. She comes in the hottest part of the day, in the heat of the day to draw water. Why did she come? Then she didn't want to meet anybody else. We're supposing we know that she had a unique background, the little city of Sychar. That word means drunkard. It was a city of drunkards and outcasts and and people that did not know Christ, Jesus and and it was a city of mixed people. They weren't allowed to live in the outskirts of Jerusalem, but they could live near this well, and they had formed this little city called Sychar. We know a little bit about her background. She had gone through marriages like Elizabeth Taylor. I mean, she'd been married to this one, that one, and was looking for another and now she's just shacking up. She's a social outcast. And listen, she came and Jesus Christ met her at the point of her need. That's all any of us have to do when somebody has a need, if we'll show up, we can make a difference at their need, at the point of their need. Now I don't know how Billy Graham did it. I didn't study any of that. I don't even know how the apostle Paul did it, but you read this little account, we have a personal account of how Jesus did it. Fact of the matter. John, chapter four gives us a front row seat, and we get to sit there and see how Jesus Christ reached this social outcast, this little woman that came thirsting for some water. And there's four simple little things that right there in the Scripture. I'm not going to have to stretch anything and not even have to build a sermon. I'm just going to show you what took place. Number one, the Holy Spirit led him to the right person. Look at Acts. Chapter one, verse eight, But ye shall receive power after that, the Holy Ghost is come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses. Do you catch that both in Jerusalem and bu Cyrus, Nevada and in Sycamore and Carrie and upper Sandusky and Chatfield and Attica and Crestline and and Galilean, and over at Mansfield and down at Mary, all of these places, and even unto Judea and Samaria. And under the uttermost parts of the earth, there are people all around us that need Jesus. Christ. Jesus is saying here in verse four, I've got to go through Samaria. Why did he go through because he was led of the Spirit. John, chapter one, verse 32 John bare record saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove. And it a bold upon him. Matthew kicks in, and he says, then was Jesus led up of the spirit. Spirit directed and ladies and gentlemen, all we've got to do is pray and and seek God and ask Him, who does he want to lay on our heart and burden us, for we can make a difference, and he'll bring people into our lives, bring people across our paths. Wayne a flyer came and whispered to me, it's been about a month ago, and he said, Pastor, a businessman in town is in the hospital. He's a friend of yours. And he said, and you need to see him. I said, Okay, Wayne and and I think the phone rang the next day. I think it was and it was him. Did you see him? Not yet. He said, You need to see him. And so I did, and some of his family was there, and it wasn't a good time. And so I made it a point the very next day to get to the hospital. I saw he was leaving this world, and I slipped in and nobody was there. And I said, before anybody shows up, before we have a big conversation. Want to ask, Are you right with God? And the tears begin to well up in his eyes. And he said, you remember that years ago, that disappointment I had and a death in my family, and I dropped away from God in the church, and I haven't been where I should be for a long, long time. I said, you know, maybe God's using this to knock at your heart's door, and all you've got to do is just open the door and say, Would you come in and make him welcome? He said, I'll do it. We led him to Christ. It makes a difference. It makes a difference, and God brings and within a week, I preached his funeral. God will bring people, and he'll lead us to the right people. But a second thing I want to point out here, Jesus entered into her world. He felt that need to go through Samaria now the Jews and the Samaritans despised one another. Do you know sometimes people don't like each other? Well, that's new to you, and I shouldn't have told you. You just don't believe it, and just keep liking everybody. Okay, now, if you were a Jew and you were going to Judea, and you're leaving Judea and you're going up to Galilee. And if you went straight north, you would cut right straight through Samaria. You go right by sicher and they didn't want anything to do. They didn't even want the dust off of the ground from them Samaritans to get in their sandals. So what they would do, they would turn and they would go west, miles over to the sea side, and they'd walk along the sea and going north for miles. And once they got far enough north, way past Sychar and Samaria, they'd cut back east and go over. They'd go miles out of the way. I read in the commentary that if they took the long way was 120 to 130 miles. If they took shortcuts, they could get around within 20 to 40 miles. You talk about despicable you talk about hatred. You talk about animosity. I mean, their hearts and their world was full of it because they didn't want to encounter somebody they didn't like, because they thought those Samaritans were less than and mixed breed and and mixed Jews and Gentiles, and so they'd go out of the way. But not Jesus, not Jesus. Now I've been up in the store, and I've had him go down another aisle when they saw me, which is no problem. I had him up. I think you know what? I won't even have to make a phone call. I just saw him. I'll just catch him down the next aisle and moving along while we're Shouting, shouting happy. Well, the culture of those Jews and those Samaritans despicable. So Jesus says to His disciples in verse eight, he said, I want you to go up to the city. I want you to buy some meat. And he told them to go to Chick fil A, or raising cane, probably more raising cane, and get some lunch. And why is he separating himself from his disciples? Because he knew their culture, and he knew how much they despised the Samaritan, but not Jesus. He goes straight through Samaria. Listen carefully. You don't have to become like people to reach people. You don't have to become like people to reach people, but you do have to like people to reach people. People could tell whether or not you like them and whether or not you care. And in verse seven, there cometh this woman of Samaria to draw water. And guess what? Jesus said, Give me the drink. Now. He could have got his own water. That's what my wife tells me to do. I don't get it. You're supposed to be my helpmate. Help me. His arm wasn't broke, but what was he doing? He was entering into her world. He was making connection. And we've got to enter into people's world in order to reach them. First, Corinthians, 919, For though I be free from all men, yet Have I made myself servant unto all that I may reach some preacher I don't know how to enter somebody else's world. World. Well, I'm glad you came this morning. I'll tell you how if you want to enter somebody else's world, talk to them. Look them in the face, look them in the eye, talk to them. And talk to them about their favorite subject. You know what their favorite you say, Well, I don't know their favorite subject. Yeah, you do if I was to take a picture of all of this crowd this morning and next Sunday? I'm telling you, I'm getting ready to put it up here on the big screens. Who'd be the person you'd look at first? Yeah, we're into ourselves. We'd be looking for our picture. Our favorite subject is ourselves. I found if you find something around you that connects you, you can enter their world. A lot of times I'll go into an ice cream parlor, probably because I like ice cream, and most of the time I'll order a Sunday and I like to say to the girl said, How did you learn how to make Sundays? Did you go to Sunday school? It just opens up a conversation. One of them went like this at me, you're trying to connect, and I'm simply saying connect on their favorite subject. And that's them. If you want to know how to impact people, talk about them, talk about their children. You'll make more friends than being interested in them than trying to be interesting. So, preacher, I don't know how to get into their world. Let me help you. I'll just use the word help. Let's start with age that's hobbies. Ask them what their hobby is. People start talking. People love to talk to you about what they really like to do the most. Talk to them about fishing, if that's not getting aware. Talk to them about hunting, if that's not working. Talk to them about golfing. If that's not working, talk to them about OSU and football. And if that doesn't help, then get off of that subject and go to the E talk about the environment. Hey, it's cold out. Some of you look like you're still frozen. Did you notice the ice? I had a gathering to be at yesterday down in Columbus, and I got up and saw how bad it was, and began to put on older style boots and things getting ready to go. And I hadn't got five miles south of here, it's like an oasis, not a flake of snow. But we can talk about the weather, and we do sometimes, and if you don't get anywhere on that, then what's the next letter? Is it L? How do you spell? So talk about their loves. What do they love? They love their children. If you got children, fact of the matter, if you mentioned grandchildren, they'll pull out a whole lot of pictures and start showing you. Talk to them about what they love the most. And if that doesn't work, go to the P talk to them about their problems. Everybody's got some. And if they don't have any problems, talk to them about a plan, and that plan, as far as I'm concerned, is Jesus Christ. That's what really matters. Invite him to church. Sometimes I'll just take a piece of paper and I'll put CH, dash, CH. I said, I pastor church. Do you notice what's missing? I said, look between the two sea ages you are. And let me tell you how to get there. You must have lost the map. And so we're out of this world, but we're not out of this world, but we're in this world, and we need to enter into people's lives around us and show some interest. Jesus also, he was a witness, not a prosecuting attorney. Let me read that again to you, acts one eight, he shall be received power after the Holy Ghost has come upon you, and you shall be My prosecuting attorneys. Is that? What it says no shall be My witnesses. What does that mean? It means you don't argue. Why? When we get around people, how do we wind up arguing about religious stuff and arguing about beliefs and arguing about church? That's the last thing we ought to ever do to be arguing this stuff. I think the problem is, we around the church have kind of thought we've arrived, and we like correcting people more than we do connecting with people. And Jesus never went around trying to correct people, but trying to connect with people. He came not into this world to condemn this world, but that the world through. Him might be saved. Didn't come to condemn, came to connect. And there are some issues that we make such an issue of, that Jesus never made an issue of, and we still do that. And this woman did that. First of all, she tried to make race an issue. Look what the scripture said. Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, how is it that thou being a Jew, askest Drink of me which am a woman of Samaria? She said, why are we even talking? I'm a Samaritan, you're a Jew, I'm a woman, you're a man. Jewish men aren't allowed to speak to women they're not acquainted with. And I'm of another race, and here you are. We ought to be talking. She tried to make a racial issue, because Samaritans were a mixed race, and the under the Assyrian captivity, the Jews wound up getting involved and having relations with the Gentiles, and now we have this mixed race. And she said, I don't understand. I'm of a different race. Do you know what's really neat? Jesus would even go there? He never even responded to that. He never even allowed it to become a part of his conversation. She wanted to talk about it, but he didn't. And race and gender and social status and economic differences and and the educational degrees should never, ever be the issue, because at the end of the day, everybody needs Jesus. Everybody needs Jesus. It doesn't matter who you are and what language you speak. Everybody needs Jesus. She tried to go there. But look at what Jesus said, If you only knew the gift of God, who it is give me to drink and listen, if you had a blood bought, heartfelt sin, killing, life changing, devil, chasing experience with Jesus Christ, race won't be an issue because it's not about race. It's about grace and the fact that he's changed our lives. Race isn't even an issue. And then she threw up reason. Look at verse 11, Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. From whence hast thou this water that you're talking about? Now she's talking about natural water, but Jesus is talking about spiritual and she wanted to reason, let's reason. I have people do that to me all the time. They play games like it all the time. I remember going in and they were both dead now, and some of the other guys back when you used to walk inside of McDonald's, back when people actually went in. There's a whole lot of things I'd like to say right now, but I'm not going to. I'm trying hard not to say what I'm thinking. And a guy looked up as soon as I said, Come over here. Sky pilot. That's what they call preachers. And I did. And all the men there, he said, Which came first chicken or the egg? Oh, I said, neither in the beginning, God, and another guy, and he's gone now too, and he said, and he's got a book to prove it too. You heard the beep on that one, didn't you? And I've had them said, Well, where do the dinosaurs come from? Get your phone. It's beeping. I've had them say, Well, I'm crying too patty. I didn't say anything that time. This is not fair. They're beeping in between. Now I've had them say, Well, can you explain the Earth's crust? And I get confronted with all these questions, did Adam have a belly button or not being that he was not born? Did he have a belly button? What? How would I know? How old do they think I am? One guy said to me. Said, Hey, preacher, where did Cain get his wife? I said, that's your problem. I said, You ought to be worried about where another man got his wife. Take care of your own. He didn't ask me anymore either. Well, Pastor, if I get all ask all of these questions, how am I going to answer them? Just go to John. Chapter nine, and in that passage, it's talking about a man born blind since his birth, and Jesus came to his life and touched him and gave him sight. And the crowd gathered around, and they began to ask all kinds of questions, who did see in this manner as parents in that he was born blind and rabbinically, what's the answer to all of this? And they validated her name, hey, why? And he said, Hey, only thing I can tell you, I was blind, but I see, and I want to tell you something. If you've got a testimony of what God has done for you and changed your life, nobody can argue with your own testimony. She threw up race when that didn't work. She threw up reason when that didn't work, she threw up religion. She said our fathers, verse 20, worshiped in this mountain. And you say it's supposed to be in Jerusalem, is the place where should we worship? Hey, I'm a Baptist. Really. I'm an Episcopalian. Got to say it right? Or don't worry, I'm a Methodist. I'm a snazzy nazzy. Read, can I just stop by to tell you that God's not in any of that anyhow, none of that's going to get you to heaven. Just thought I'd let you know. You say, Well, you ought to say that, Pastor, because I've shaken your hands a lot of times. You might as well crank a mule's tail and we'll get you to heaven. You say, but our name is in the book here at this church. Yeah, you can put your name on a barn's door, but don't save you. You gotta have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. And we can argue about the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and locations, but God is Spirit. They that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. And he's saying it's not about a place, it's about a person, and that person is Jesus Christ. And I want to close on this thought with a lot of other thoughts. Under this thought, he talked to her about the right stuff. What did he talk to her about? Same thing you and I need to talk to others about, when they ask four things Jesus talked to her about. He talked to her about abundant life. Who's ever drinking this water? Never thirst. Be it a water springing up into everlasting life. Abundant Life. What do you mean? It's when a convert looks you in the eye and say and says to you, I was a drunkard and I couldn't stop. I was a druggie, and I couldn't stop, and I wanted to stop. I watch him, I slip in sometimes on Monday night, and I watch that unique crowd gather here in our Event Center, formation, transformation, struggling, jerking and nervous and all kinds of drugs pulling at their body and their system. I was addicted to Vogue, but I met Jesus, and when I couldn't stop, he gloriously transformed my life. You say, Well, Pastor, I don't have that testimony. Well, let me give you another one. Just look in the eye and say, Well, I was lonely. I was hurt. I was unfulfilled. I struggled with personal issues, but I came to Jesus and they gave me peace. They gave me joy, and he gave me fulfillment. You know what we need to talk to people about. Talk to them about abundant life. They can be an overcomer. You can get past your past. But he also talked to her about eternal life, springing up into everlasting life. I wish I could tell you the many times I've sat at bedsides of people that were dying, and had them reach out their hands slowly and get a hold of my hand, even with family there, and it was difficult for them to do it, but they're dying. And said, Preacher, talk to me. I'm not right. Talk to me. And stood there by the bed and talk to them about eternal life. You don't have to die in your sins. Talk to them about abundant life. Talk to them about and Jesus talked to people about sin. Preacher, I don't think the church ought to go there. Jesus did. Why are we smarter than Jesus? Why are we trying to operate churches less than what Jesus confronted people with. He dealt with a sin problem. Jesus did look at what he did. He said to her, catch this. This is pretty slick. He said, Go. Call your husband. Said, Me and Elizabeth Taylor, we don't have any and for you young people, she used to be an actress that was married many, many, many, many times she he said, You said it well, fact the matter, he said, You've had five husbands, but the one you're living with, you're just shacking up with right now. She said, I perceive thou art a prophet. He dealt with sin. Do you know you really can't understand the good news until you understand first the bad news. I listened to a guy I was with some time back, not around here, but I was in another state, and he just a great layman, a Christian, and this guy was telling him, there's no use for me to try. I don't believe God's got any room in his kingdom. And the fellow took a unique stance. He said, You know, I was just like you. My life was just as hopeless. He said, I had sins in my life. I was ashamed to talk about. Probably I got arrested if I even mentioned the sins that I had been involved with, but he saved me, and he could forgive you, and He changed me, and he can change you, and your marriage is on the rocks. Mine was on the rocks. Now it's on the rock. And the man broke down and began to weep. He had connected with him. And I don't know about you, I'm just trying to win the grace race. That's where I'm at. If he forgives me, he can forgive you. And then, last of all, Jesus talked about a relationship with God there in verse 21 he didn't talk to her about religion. She had all kinds of religion. Everybody's got a little religion, but not everybody's got a relationship with the Lord. And he talked to her about relationship and folk that's the need. 35 years ago, I pastored another church in the little city where I'd been born. Saturday afternoon, a little couple came up to me. They said, Brother, LaSalle, would you marry us? Would I rather marry him than to have him living the way they were living? If you disagree with that, that's okay, too. She'd been through a handful of guys. They'd both gotten saved, fell in love. It was Saturday. I said, Well, when? When are you wanting this to happen? Where do you want it to take place? They said, Pastor, we don't have a lot of money. Just you choose the time and you choose the place. I said, what about what about 1150 tomorrow? They said, that's fine. Wait a minute. They said, That's tomorrow, Sunday, and you'd be preaching. Sometimes you go over 12. Pastor, I said, I get the service late most of the time. I said, Could we do it tomorrow? Right in my sermon? And they both began to cry, and they said, whatever you want to do, Pastor, I came to the pulpit that morning, and I preached from John chapter four. I preached about the well, a well that was deep, a well that offered something that could satisfy, keep life going. I talked about, I talked about Jesus being weary, because everywhere that sin had driven poor, lost humanity. Jesus went down that road and that path, wherever they were, he went to them and he was weary disciples, they were out, you know, over Chick fil A, but Jesus is worn out. He's trying to reach people. And he sat there at the edge of the well, and I talked to him about water. Then I talked to him about a woman that had a shorted past and messed up, and she came to Jesus, and Jesus changed her life, and she was shagging up with a guy. And I said, You know what time Jesus got through? It must have called for a wedding. I said, is there anybody here this morning would like to get married? Building was packed that morning. And everybody got quiet. They thought the pastor lost his mind. Some of them thought he didn't know it anyhow, where it was. But about that time, that couple stood up the back and they said, we do. And they started down the aisle, and they were sobbing. His brother, both of the guys had sang in night gloves before their conversion. His brother is now a preacher, but I asked his brother, come on down here and my wife, I said, Could you sing a song while they stand here together, and they begin to sing that song, something beautiful. You know how he takes all the broken pieces and he makes something beautiful out of my life. His only wedding I ever had were the two just sobbed on each other, supposed to kiss, I guess, but I couldn't remember, anyhow. And they sobbed and they sobbed, and the whole church was on each other's arm sobbing. And I married that little couple. I'll tell you, when Jesus gets through with our lives, instead of tearing them apart and throwing them away, he takes all the broken pieces and the mess of our life, and he makes something really beautiful, and you might already be married, but he can make it better than what it is. He can bring newness to it. He can just change everything about us. And then, you know what? When Jesus got through, he sent her away. She was supposed to go, you know, get that guy so he could do that little wedding. But when Jesus looked up and the disciples had arrived. They looked up, and men were pouring out of that city by the hundreds, running towards the well. And Jesus said, look on the fields. They're white unto harvest. What are you talking about? All of them had those turbans on their head. It looked like a sea of wheat waving at the breeze as they came running come see a man that told me everything I've ever done, and a city wide revival broke out at Sychar that changed that area of the world. Now I wonder what God wants to do with us. God's done enough to change us. Now let's go show it, and let's go share it.
