Hey,First two days in a row!
1.Again,Christ was talking in spiritual terms.The disciples were still thinking physically.
2.He was telling them that the "field" was ready to be harvested.There were still many unbelievers.Those who lead others to Christ will gain eternal treasures.
3.It has taught me that I need to be more aware of people that don't know Him.I can't let social or physical barriers get in my way.
4.I could reach out in their time of need and show them just how much God loves them by being compassionate towards them.
Sorry I missed the game.I would have loved to go.Hope you had fun.

3. What has Jesus taught you in this chapter about your sensitivity and response to people around you who are in need?
that those that you might like the least or the one you least want to be sharing the plan with salvation with is sometimes the one that needs it the most at the time.
4. How could you reach out to someone who has been rejected by the world and offer Jesus' love?
after knowing what they have gone threw. show them first love and understanding that Jesus offers and then offer them the gift but you should never force them to make a decision.

Responsive Questions
1. How is the disciples' confusion about food (vv. 31-33) similar to the woman's confusion about living water?
The disciples, just like the woman, were thinking physically rather than spiritually.
2. After his encounter with the Samaritan woman, what specific lessons does Jesus apply to his disciples and to us (vv. 34-38)?
The lessons for the disciples are the same for us…what sustains us should be our desire to do God’s will. If we would simply open our eyes to the people around us, we would see that people are ready to hear the Gospel message. The payment or reaping of our efforts are eternal, and we need to understand that is why God has placed us here, to continue the work that has been started.
3. What has Jesus taught you in this chapter about your sensitivity and response to people around you who are in need?
I need to always have my spiritual ears open to the needs of the people that God places in my life. I need to be ready and willing to always direct someone to God’s truth. No matter the social status of the person, I need to view them as a precious, valuable soul in need of a personal relationship with Jesus.
4. How could you reach out to someone who has been rejected by the world and offer Jesus' love?
Show them through the Word that they have value to God, and that He wants to change their life for His glory. Bring them to church and allow them to experience true Christian fellowship. I could express genuine concern for them and do my part to disciple them.
Applying Chapter 4 in Your Life
1. Who were the people responsible for telling you about Jesus? Let them know in a letter or phone call how much you appreciate their concern for you.
Sunday school teachers at Liberty Baptist Church when I was 9 years old, a bus driver from Liberty Baptist, Pastor Matt and Maribeth, the Pulham’s, the Hall’s, and so many others over the years here at NTBC.
2. What individuals have you had a part in leading to faith in Christ? Let them know in a personal way of your continued concern for their spiritual growth.
I have had the opportunity to lead several people to the Lord…what I haven’t been able to do with every one that has trusted Christ is to follow up on that decision with consistent interaction with the Word of God. That is my desire as I have opportunity to lead people to Christ, that I would also have the privilege to disciple them and watch them grow spiritually.
