Trust God’s Plan STEP ONE

Trust God’s Plan A. How did Mary show an example of faith and submission for those who would seek to be a disciple of Jesus?

Time for Jesus A. How does this story reveal how even good things can distract us from what is most important? Luke 10:38-42 Mary sat at Jesus’ feet we need to know Jesus personally by spending time with Him

Time for Jesus B. How did Jesus win the confidence of this woman and turning her into a disciple? John 4:4-30 The Lord changed this woman, apparently no bastion of purity and piety, into a powerful witness for Himself

Time for Jesus JESUS’ PROCESS OF WINNING OTHERS 1.The awakening of a desire for something better (John 4: 7-15). 2.The awakening of a conviction of personal need (vss ). 3.The call to a decision to acknowledge Jesus as the Messiah (vss ). 4.The stimulus to action appropriate to the decision (vss , 39-42).
