Easter at Connection 2019

The sermon examines John 4, where Jesus encounters the Samaritan woman at the well, to explore common misunderstandings about God and true worship. It challenges the idea that being Christian is about being good, arguing instead that Jesus died to make spiritually dead people alive, loving them even as enemies. The message emphasizes that God's love is unconditional, not based on human merit. True worship, it asserts, is not tied to a specific place or time but arises from an encounter with the living God and is empowered by the Holy Spirit. The speaker encourages listeners to leave behind old paradigms and pursue Jesus as He truly is, filtering experiences through the lens of Christ's death and resurrection.
