The sermon text is a continuation of last Sunday's text in John 4:27-42 where the Samaritan woman at the well goes to witness what she has heard and now believes - namely that the Savior is here! The disciples have a different reaction and Jesus tells them that the fields are white unto the harvest.

Now is the day of salvation when we hear the Word of God and believe in its message of a Savior from our sin, as did the Samaritan woman. Reaping the benefits of Jesus' work was what the disciples needed to hear and learn. So many are the time that Jesus and even Paul went out to the world of Gentiles to preach the Gospel message because the fields were ripe for harvest.

Listen now to Pastor Neumann as he expounds on our less on John 4:27-42.

The sermon text was taken from John 4:5-26 which tells of the conversion of the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well. In the sermon, we learn again clearly the purpose of the law and gospel. The law shows us our sins and the need for a Savior. The Gospel gives us the saving message of Jesus Christ, as our Messiah.

Incorporated into the sermon message is a memorial message for Terry Fitzpatrick, who passed to his heavenly home on January 19th, 2010. The message is a blessing as we hear about how our baptism makes us part of God's kingdom and brings the Holy Spirit to work in us. Let us listen to the sermon audio here.
