Deeper Wells

Mark Trinkl Season 2025 Episode 23

In this powerful sermon on John 4, Pastor Mark explores Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well to reveal our search for meaning in shallow sources. We all drink from various "wells" seeking fulfillment—success, division, history, physical needs, and ethnic superiority—yet none satisfy our deepest thirst. Only Jesus offers living water: the Holy Spirit that bubbles up eternally within believers who worship in spirit and truth.

The sermon highlights how Jesus broke cultural barriers, crossing ethnic and gender divides to reveal himself as Messiah to a marginalized woman. This divine appointment transformed not just her life but her entire village. Through powerful personal stories of natural wells in Wisconsin and St. Patrick's well in Ireland, the message vividly illustrates the contrast between our self-made, cracked cisterns and Christ's invitation: "Anyone who is thirsty may come to me."

This Lenten journey invites reflection, repentance, and reconciliation. What wells are you drinking from? The world offers temporary satisfaction, but only Christ's living water—available to anyone—provides eternal fulfillment. Come to the deeper well and experience life that overflows.
