Title: What Feeds Your Soul? Scripture: John 4:5–42

What keeps you going when life feels overwhelming?

In a world that moves faster and faster, many of us run on empty—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. In this message, Paul Mulroney explores the powerful story of Jesus and the woman at the well in John 4, where Jesus reveals a surprising truth: there is a kind of nourishment that goes deeper than physical food or water.

When Jesus tells his disciples, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me,” he shows us that our spirits are sustained when we live in step with God’s purpose.

Through this encounter at the well, we see:

• Jesus reaching across social and cultural barriers
• The promise of living water that satisfies our deepest thirst
• A woman whose encounter with Jesus transforms an entire town
• The invitation to open our eyes to the spiritual harvest around us

Just as our bodies need food, our spirits need nourishment. This message explores how the Holy Spirit energises us to participate in the work God is already doing in the world.

Key Takeaway

When we step into what God is doing, our spirit is nourished and our lives are filled with His life.

In This Message

We explore four important questions:

• What do we need to know? Our spirits are sustained by the life of God, just as our bodies are sustained by food and water.
• Why does it matter? Without spiritual nourishment we become weary and disconnected from the life God intends for us.
• What should we do? Learn to recognise the moments when God is at work and respond to the prompting of the Holy Spirit.
• Why should we do it? Because living in step with God brings joy, purpose, and spiritual life.

A Simple Way to Remember

See – Respond – Be Filled

• See where God is working
• Respond to the Spirit’s prompting
• Be filled with the life of God
