Ready, Spirit-Led Grace

As Christians, we know that God intends to use us to tell others about Jesus. Someone has said that learning to be speak up about the Gospel should be considered as much of a spiritual discipline as praying and studying the Bible. A lot of us struggle with consistency in those two disciplines, and if we add evangelism our track record would fare even worse.

There are a host of factors that keep us silent: we anticipate our good intentions will be met with hostility, we won't know how to answer a question, or we're not eager to strain a relationship. But despite such challenges, we need to become better at speaking up. In this message we consider, we consider the encounter Jesus had with a Samaritan woman. It offers an encouraging picture of how we can become more effective agents of ready, Spirit-led grace in our day-to-day lives.
