The Ministry of Need will challenge us to be aware of the small tugs of the Lord in our life. Sometimes we see these times in our life as a call to inform or to discuss. I believe that these little tugs are a call to action by God Himself. It also let us know just how our love for God and others compels us to activity that overtime leads to real and long-lasting change.

35 And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed:
36 Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat.
37 He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?

6 Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.

Why did the women come to the well?
++She wanted was water
++She needed something to quench her thirst
This woman

28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,
29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
Have you every been with someone and time just slips away?
Have you every been with someone and time just slips away?

30 And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.
31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
The Need
++Everyone saw the need
++Everyone responded to the need
++Only one answered the call
When God shows something to you
++He is calling you
++He has chosen you
++He has positioned you
What will you do with the call?
8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.
11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
Things that matter in this life
++Is not the fastest
++Is not the strongest
++Is not the wisest
++Is not the smartest
++Is not the popular
In this life
++Everyone has a time
++Everyone has a chance
We have been Chosen
