John 04:39ff–Believing: Because of His Word

Topics: How excitement about Jesus overcame the shame and embarrassment of  Samaritan Adulteress. How shame about our past can keep us from talking about Jesus. Why Jesus used this woman–and the women to whom He first appeared  after His resurrection. How the Samaritans believed without signs and wonders. Why Jesus went back to Nazareth knowing that He would get no honor there. How the principle of “no honor in His hometown” can cause us problems today. Jesus as celebrity vs. Jesus as Lord. How people without Jesus must see their need for Him. How we can help them see that need. How the official from Herod’s court got through to Jesus.

This is a lesson shared with the Adult 5B class at Sevier Heights Baptist Church on October 6, 2013.
