The Seeking God

John 4:1-26

About the Sermon

What really matters is often invisible. We tend to forget the cosmic plans of God because we see only the mundane details of everyday life. In Jesus’ conversation with the Samaritan woman (John 4) and His priestly prayer to the Father (John 17) we catch glimpses of the eternal purposes of God which He is pursuing and which He will accomplish. In these two sermons we merely touch down at a couple of points in John’s Gospel to get some perspective on what God is doing in the world: God is pursuing sinners to transform them to worshipers, and God is uniting and guarding those worshipers as His people.

About the Series

Our human race is desperate for satisfaction and belonging. There’s an ache inside that we know needs to be filled, and we pursue all sorts of things to fill the hole. At the same time, we long for others to love us and accept us; we ache to belong. God is on mission. The Creator who made us is seeking us. He’s moving into the lives of thirsty sinners in order to satisfy us, and He does this by drawing us into His eternal life. He is choosing a people, revealing himself to us, preserving and guarding us, unifying us with each other in himself, all to the end that we may be with Him and behold His glory forever.
