Join us as Pastor Tyler Lynde wraps up our “Encounter” sermon series with a compelling message on “Supernatural Soul-winning.” In this powerful sermon, Tyler delves into the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well (John 4:4-42), highlighting how Jesus broke cultural barriers to reach someone in need.

Tyler begins by expressing heartfelt gratitude for his family and our congregation during this Thanksgiving season, setting a tone of reflection and appreciation. He emphasizes that Jesus chose to go where the need was greatest (Lesson #1), encouraging us to step beyond our comfort zones to reach others.

Despite being weary from His journey, Jesus engages the Samaritan woman in conversation, showing us Lesson #2: Jesus didn’t allow His circumstance to rob Him of His opportunity. By asking for water, He uses a natural point of reference to introduce profound spiritual truths (Lesson #3). Tyler explains how this interaction teaches us to use everyday moments to share the Gospel.

Jesus reveals intimate details about the woman’s life, demonstrating Lesson #4: He used the supernatural to open her heart to truth. This leads her to recognize Him as the Messiah. When distractions arise, Jesus steers the conversation back to the core issues of worship and salvation (Lesson #5).

Tyler highlights that Jesus relied on the Word and the Spirit to bring about transformation (Lesson #6), and found sustenance in doing God’s will (Lesson #7). He challenges us to embrace this mindset, reminding us that “the fields are already ripe for harvest” and that we are called to be active participants in God’s mission.

As you watch this sermon, consider how you can apply these lessons in your own life. Let the Holy Spirit empower you to reach out to those around you, breaking down barriers and sharing the message of hope and salvation. This Thanksgiving, let’s commit to being vessels of “living water,” impacting lives for eternity.
