All In: Soul Winning Hand Part 2

1 Cor. 3:6-7, I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. ⁷ So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow.

“Then the LORD asked him, “What is that in your hand?” “A shepherd’s staff,” Moses replied. “Throw it down on the ground,” the LORD told him. So Moses threw down the staff, and it turned into a snake! Exodus 4:2 – 3 NLT

Relay: Pray for the lost. 2 Peter 3:9, The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

4. The Samaritan Woman’s INVITATIONAL approach

                                               i.     John 4 – after Jesus talked with her at the well and “told her about herself” she wanted others to get to know him in that way also and told the people to “come see a man”.
