Invitation to the Table | Worth the Risk
Pastor Ben Price
Scripture: John 4:3-9, 16-18, 28-30 & 35
What happens when we are willing to cross boundaries and take the risk of reaching someone others might overlook? In this message from the Invitation to the Table series, Pastor Ben Price explores Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well. Jesus intentionally entered a difficult conversation, saw beyond her circumstances, and offered her living water and a new beginning. Her encounter with Jesus transformed her life and led her to share what she had experienced with others.
This message challenges us to recognize that people are worth the risk—and that sometimes the greatest opportunities to share Jesus are found in the unexpected people and places around us.
Three Key Points to Remember:
- People are worth the risk. Following Jesus means being willing to cross barriers and reach people others may overlook.
- Jesus sees the person behind the circumstances. He meets us with truth and grace, offering transformation rather than condemnation.
- One encounter can impact many. The Samaritan woman shared what Jesus had done, and her testimony helped others come and see Jesus for themselves.
