Week 3: Earning the Right to be Heard
Jun 15, 2025 • Matthew Allen, Matthew Barnhart, Kevin Shanesy
In this lesson, we’ll explore Jesus’ remarkable conversation with the Samaritan woman in John 4:1-26, a masterclass in personal evangelism. By examining how Jesus approached someone marginalized by culture, religion, and personal sin, we’ll learn what it means to earn the right to be heard. Jesus crossed barriers, listened with compassion, spoke truth with grace, and gently led her to the hope found in Him. His example teaches us how to engage others with wisdom and love, helping us move from casual conversation to spiritual transformation in our own gospel efforts.
