This message focuses on Jesus' interaction with the woman at the well as a model for effective spiritual rescues. The speaker emphasizes the importance of entering the world of those we seek to reach, focusing on one person, and creating spiritual curiosity. The message highlights the need to start with a recognized need before addressing deeper issues like sin. Ultimately, the goal is to keep the focus on Christ, who is the only one that can satisfy the deepest thirst of the soul.
