Welcome to Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin. The Church of 1122 is a movement for all people to discover

and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ. And we're praying this message helps you deepen your

relationship with him. Now let's dive in. Hey church family, welcome to deepen. If you got your Bible,

we're going to end up in James Chapter 5.

But just as a recap from the sermon this weekend, we talked about the woman at the well.

John chapter 4 versus 1 to 45.

And you'll remember, this is a woman who had been through it.

She had had a bunch of husbands.

The guy that she was living with now was not her

husband. She was hanging out at the well during midday because she didn't want to be around people.

And Jesus encounters her and meets her right where she is, which is really good news for us.

Is it not? Man, even if you're an outcast in society or the church or whatever,

then you're not outside of the reach of the loving arms of Jesus Christ.

So he sits down with her, and they had this conversation,

and Jesus is trying to talk to her about spiritual things,

and she's trying to dodge it with theological questions.

Like, where are we going to worship?

That mountain or your mountain, you know,

and arguing about Jacob's well and all this kind of stuff.

And then Jesus offers her eternal life, and she kind of misses it.

You know, he says, I want to give you living water.

And then he takes her to the point in the conversation
