Hanging Out with Jesus

How to Talk About Jesus Without Sounding Like a Nut

John 4:5-42

Outline

______________________________________________

1. What questions are men asking and what problems are they trying to solve today? Do you think men are open to discussing spiritual solutions?

2. What is unique about the way Jesus engaged the woman at the well?

3. Who is someone you would like to ask the question, “Where are you on your spiritual pilgrimage?” Why not resolve to have that conversation this week:

• RAPPORT: Ask yourself, What is the problem he (or she) is trying to solve? If you know where you want to end up, any starting point will do.
• RELEVANCE: Answer the questions he is asking in a language he can understand. The woman came for water, so Jesus talked to her about water.
• RECOMMEND: Don’t argue religion, but do recommend Jesus Christ.
