Hope for the World 2025
The Danger of Spiritual Myopia // John 4:27-35

“Just then his disciples came back. They marveled that he was talking with a woman, but no one said, ‘What do you seek?’ or, ‘Why are you talking with her?’ So the woman left her water jar and went away into town and said to the people, ‘Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?’ They went out of the town and were coming to him. Meanwhile the disciples were urging him, saying, ‘Rabbi, eat.’ But he said to them, ‘I have food to eat that you do not know about.’ So the disciples said to one another, ‘Has anyone brought Thim something to eat?’ Jesus said to them, ‘My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work. Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest.” John 4:27-35

“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Acts 1:8

Spiritual Myopia:
Is the ability to see what is near us, but no ability to see what is far from us.

1. The Spiritual Need of People

“Just then his disciples came back. They marveled that he was talking with a woman, but no one said, ‘What do you seek?’ or, ‘Why are you talking with her?’” John 4:27

“How shall they call on Him who they have not heard and how will they hear without a proclaimer?” Romans 10:14

“The world’s greatest problem is lostness.” Dr. Paul Chitwood

2. The Need to Meet Them Where They Are in Life

3. The Reality of the Harvest

How can you jump in the mission?
1. Tell others how you came to faith in Jesus
2. Engage and serve with one of our local partners
