Encountering Jesus at the Water Well!
As individuals encounter Jesus, they encounter the eternal–life–giving, life-transforming love of God.
To share the eternal–life–giving, life-transforming love of God with someone broken and in need:
Jesus purposefully MEETS us where we are!
James Merritt, “Just because we have messed up doesn’t mean we have to stay messed up!”
Jesus pointedly STATES that worship is a lifestyle!
Jesus designedly GIVES personal access to God!
That’s what a Jesus encounter does.
Jesus earnestly DESIRES to change our life and the lives of others!
As individuals encounter Jesus they encounter the eternal–life–giving; life-transforming, love of God.
That’s what a Jesus encounter does.
Will we take and drink the thirst quenching water of life–Jesus?
Once we meet and encounter Jesus, we can’t stay the same; we don’t want to stay the same; nor do others!
THIS WEEK’S MEMORY VERSE:
