My Food Is to Do the Will of Him Who Sent Me

from Lakewood Baptist of NY Sermons · host Nate Hlad

This exploration of John 4:27-45 reveals a profound truth: we find soul-satisfying sustenance not only in worshiping God but in doing His work. Just as Jesus offered living water to the Samaritan woman, He now shows His disciples—and us—that true food comes from accomplishing the Father's will. The passage challenges us to look beyond our immediate concerns and see the spiritual harvest happening all around us. The Samaritan woman's simple testimony becomes our model: she didn't have theological training or all the answers, yet she invited her entire town to come and see Jesus for themselves. Her story reminds us that sharing our faith isn't about complicated apologetics or perfect presentations—it's about authentically sharing what Jesus has done in our lives. When we discover something we love, we naturally want to tell others about it. This same principle applies to our relationship with Christ. The sermon confronts us with a searching question: when was the last time we publicly praised Jesus or invited someone to encounter Him? All our church programs and activities become meaningless if we're not doing this fundamental work of pointing others to Christ. The fields are white for harvest today, and we're called to participate in the joy of bringing others face-to-face with the Savior who transforms lives from the inside out.
