That You May Believe - The Harvest is Ready

This sermon continues the story of the woman at the well, focusing on what happens after Jesus reveals himself as the Messiah. While the woman rushes to town to share her encounter with Jesus, the disciples return with food, completely missing the spiritual harvest happening around them. Jesus challenges them (and us) to "lift up your eyes" from earthly concerns to see the eternal work God is doing. The message contrasts an "eyes down" mentality—focused on temporary, worldly things—with an "eyes up" perspective that prioritizes eternal fruit and kingdom work. The sermon culminates with the Samaritans coming to faith, demonstrating the harvest that results when we participate in God's mission.
