SERIES THEME: How to Harvest the White Fields

(Ecclesiastes 3:11 LB) Everything is appropriate in its own time. But though God has planted eternity in the hearts of men, even so, many cannot see the whole scope of God’s work from beginning to end.

(Jeremiah 1:5 MSG) “Before I shaped you in the womb, I knew all about you. Before you saw the light of day, I had holy plans for you ...

God has Holy plans for you
And he has holy plans for those around you

(Philippians 3:18–19 NKJV) {18} For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: {19} whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame--who set their mind on earthly things.
INTRO:
There’s a deep connection with God inside them
But very few can find him on their own
They need someone to share with them

Jesus demonstrated this with a woman who was definitely aware of her deep thirst for God … but she mistook it as a thirst for male relationship

(John 4:28–30, 39, 42 NLT) The woman left her water jar beside the well and ran back to the village, telling everyone, {29} “Come and see a man who told me everything I ever did! Could he possibly be the Messiah?” {30} So the people came streaming from the village to see him. ... {39} Many Samaritans from the village believed in Jesus because the woman had said, “He told me everything I ever did!” ... {42} Then they said to the woman, “Now we believe, not just because of what you told us, but because we have heard him ourselves. Now we know that he is indeed the Savior of the world.”
