When Church Becomes Routine | Scott Neal

from Forest Park Church · host Forest Park Church

In Part 2 of By the Waters, we step into one of the most powerful moments in Gospel of John — the encounter at the well in chapter 4. This message exposes something subtle but dangerous: You can be surrounded by the things of God… and still miss the heart of God. While an outsider finds living water, the insiders miss the moment entirely. Jesus sees a person. They see a problem. Jesus sees a harvest. They’re thinking about lunch. And that tension hits closer to home than we’d like to admit. This message isn’t about shame. It’s about clarity. It’s about lifting our eyes again. Big idea: Outsiders need to see Jesus. Insiders need to see people. If you’ve ever felt spiritually numb, distracted, or stuck in routine… this will challenge you in the best way.
