WEEK 2

 

JOHN 4:1-26

 

HORSESHOES, HAND GRENADES, AND BAD BREATH

 

You can move someone toward Christ by…CONNECTING WITH PEOPLE!

 

1)  Connect By PROXIMITY (v. 1-6)

 

BE Where People Are      

He goes where she is

 

            He came where we are

 

            Common places

 

            Am I where “missing” people are?

 

Be YOURSELF

Go where you go—eyes wide open

 

Who are the “missing” people around me? 

 

2)  Connect By ENGAGING (v. 7-24)

 

Ask QUESTIONS (and Listen)

 

            Questions start conversations. 

 

Conversations have two sides…not just yours.

 

Conversations are for getting to know people.

 

Get PERSONAL

Truly take an interest in the people you talk with. 

 

Remember significant details

 

Stay FOCUSED

When having spiritual conversations, do you know where you are going?
