Sermon Notes : Deeper Than You Think

• John 4:1-24
• Is Jesus thinking a little bit more deeply than you are thinking of your situation at the moment? Does he see it like you see it?
• We skim and we scroll.
• We avoid certain things. ie : finishing things, starting things, trusting, going to church.
• Be careful about your rush to judgement concerning someone whose journey you have not shared.
• Pastor Steven says peace is letting God explain it later.
• We solve it on the level we see it.
• You can see the well, and the woman but you can’t see what is happening within that Jesus wants to fix.
• We slap religious labels on behavior modification methods that keep us coming back to the wrong well to be happy.
• Happiness is an inside job, but we do outside stuff.
• Success is an illusion.
• We don’t see what other people struggle with. 
• Be curious about who you’re with. They’re deeper than you think.
• Arrogant people are the most insecure people.
• Strong, whole people are humble people.
• Jesus was digging with the woman.
• We can be suspicious based on our history.
• God is not surprised by this season of your life.
• God has been busy all along, your situation may seem ridiculous or scary but it’s deeper than you think. God brought you into this moment to remind you that there is a well on our land.
• When Jesus paid for your salvation, you don’t just get the field, you get the well too.
• God doesn’t just want the external parts of us. Jesus died for what is inside.

• Stop being so hard on yourself.

• Move in the direction of his word for your life.
