1. Win2 Corinthians 5:17,18
17Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! 18All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.

Jesus Was a “Relational, Power and Word Evangelist”
Please read the story of the Woman at the Well found in John 4:7-26
John 4:7-9
1a. Jesus finds common ground that creates an open heart in the woman.
He does this by virtue of the prejudices that existed between Samaritans and Jews. Men and women.
His reaching out to her, asking for a drink opens her heart.
Jesus is dealing with a woman who’s honoring him, she’s not bitter.
1b. Way’s to soften the heart of the person God’s told you to lead to Christ.
- Acts of kindness
- Acts of service
- Gifts
- Authenticity over a long period of time
- Demonstrations of power
2a. Jesus is witnessing to the woman by talking to her about what she’s doing. Drawing water.
2b. Turn the conversation toward spiritual things by using common things the person you’re talking to is familiar with.
3a. This creates questions in the heart of the woman. Her questions indicate to Jesus that she’s not understanding the point he’s trying to make about living water.
3b. Make sure you’re an attentive listener. The person you’re talking to will tell you how to proceed based on the questions they ask you.
Sometimes we get on a monologue and don’t listen or even care to listen to people. We shouldn’t do this unless the person is putting up false arguments.
John 4:13,14
4a. Jesus compares natural water with spiritual water thus showing the supremacy of the kingdom of God over the frivolousness of living for self.
4b. When we’re sharing our faith with others it’s important to use the word of God and your testimony to illustrate the supremacy of kingdom living.
John 4:15
5a. She wants the living water but doesn’t really understand what it is. She thinks it’s water that doesn’t need to be drawn, some sort of magic water.
5b. It’s important that once people are “on board” with the good news they start to understand and grow in knowledge. They need to be taught.
John 4:17,18
6a. Here’s where Jesus flows in a prophetic gifting by revealing her past and current relationship status.
6b. Always be open to supernatural words from heaven when you are expressing the Gospel to people. It takes sensitivity to the voice of God and courage to step out into this, however, when you hear correctly and obey, God is glorified!
John 4:20
7a. Here the woman wants to talk about where to worship on this mountain or in Jerusalem. Jesus explains that worship is going to be a place in the heart and that salvation is from the Jews.
7b. When the true spiritual presence of God shows up people might want to talk “religion”. Where to go to church if you will.
John 4:21-24
8a. Jesus gives a word of instruction about the question the woman asks telling her the truth about worship.
8b. It is important where you go to church but it’s more important that you have a relationship with Jesus Christ.
9a. Now the woman is starting down the right track. She brings up the Messiah. Jesus closes the discussion by letting her know he’s the Messiah.
9b. If things go well your person should bring up the right things as the spirit of God draws them. (John 6:44) Continue in this relationship until you feel God releases you from it or they get reconciled to God.
Romans 3:23, "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God."
Romans 6:23a, "For the wages of sin is death;
Romans 6:23b "but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.“
Romans 5:8 "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
Romans 10:9, "that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."
Romans 10:13 "for everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
