As the encounter begins between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well we begin to look at a sermon series called "The principles of Evangelism". The first principle is "The gospel is for the least of these". We begin to look at this point today.

Jesus, who is all God is also all man, and when we see him arrive at Jacob's well we see his humanity. We are able learn from this that we have a high priest who sympathizes with us.

We now begin our look at John 4. And as we open up this narrative David begins by looking at the setting.

Today we read the final recorded words of John the Baptist in scripture. And we will see that John speaks of love gifts that the Father gives to Jesus but then we will also see that in the end, John was truly a gospel preacher.

As John the Baptist speaks of the superiority of Jesus he makes it clear that Jesus possesses the infinite fullness of the Spirit of God. This is a claim that no man can make other than Jesus.

As John the Baptist continues to give reasons as to why Jesus must increase, he makes the statement that Jesus affirms that God is true.

We continue to look at the reasons that John the Baptist gives as to why Jesus is to increase and reason number two is, Jesus speaks the word of God.

John Baptist reveals why Jesus is to be the one that is to increase. And the first reason is, "Jesus is from heaven".

Today we take a look at the issue that arose among the disciples of John the Baptist and how John responded with humility.

When John the Baptist made the statement "He must increase, and I must decrease", John was making a tremendous statement regarding humility. And as a result we have a text that teaches the "Attitude of Humility". Today Pastor David Carns sets the scene for this narrative as we see the overlapping of the ministries of Jesus and John the Baptist.
