## Resource

Have you ever wondered if you've gone too far for God? Maybe you've made decisions you regret. Maybe you've experienced things you can't undo. Maybe shame has convinced you that God's plans are for other people—but not for you. John 4 tells the story of a woman who had a complicated past and had been pushed to the margins of her community. And Jesus went looking for her. He crossed cultural barriers. He crossed social barriers. He crossed the barriers created by her past. And He met her at the well. In this message, we discover that you're not too far away, you're not too far gone, and Jesus still wants you. Jesus knows the real you—and He still loves you. Your past doesn't have to determine your future. And when Jesus changes your life, you have a story to tell. The woman who came to the well in shame left as a messenger of hope, and many people in her city came to believe in Jesus because of her testimony. Your story isn't over. There are better days ahead. ### CHAPTERS 00:00 Prayer & Introduction 01:00 The Chosen Series 02:00 You Were Chosen Before Creation 03:00 You're Not Too Far Gone 04:00 The Woman at the Well 05:00 Jesus Crosses Barriers 09:00 Jesus Came to Give Life 11:00 What Are You Thirsty For? 14:00 Jesus Is the Lifter of Your Head 15:00 Jesus Knows the Real You 18:00 Your Past Doesn't Have to Define You 19:00 Jesus Wants to Give You a New Life 20:00 Jesus Is What You've Been Looking For 22:00 When Jesus Changes You, You Have a Story 24:00 Your Story Can Change Someone Else 26:00 Look Up 28:00 Will You Choose Jesus? 30:00 Salvation Prayer 32:00 Your Megaphone Isn't Silent Forever 33:00 Worship & Response 📖 John 4 #CompassionChurch #Chosen #NotTooFar #John4 #Jesus #WomanAtTheWell
