Saying Yes to Jesus

Jul 26, 2026    Aaron Simms

What does it really mean to say yes to God? This message digs into that question through the lens of John 4, where Jesus makes a deliberate detour through Samaria and transforms the life of a woman the rest of the world had written off. The spiritual insight here is striking: Jesus did not stumble into that encounter. He had to go through Samaria. That sense of divine intentionality runs through the entire message, and it challenges us to consider how often God is directing our steps while we are busy protecting our schedules and our comfort. The woman at the well went from outcast to evangelist in a single conversation, and an entire city believed because she was willing to carry what she had received. The lesson for us is both humbling and exciting. We do not have to be impressive for God to use us. We just have to be willing. The message also draws a powerful contrast between the Samaritans who believed simply because of the word Jesus spoke and those back in his hometown who needed signs and wonders before they would trust him. That contrast quietly asks us which camp we fall into, and whether our faith is anchored in the voice of God or in the visible evidence we demand before we take a step.
