#149 - Joby Martin // What's Your "Have To" Moment?

We explore the profound significance of Jesus' journey through Samaria in John 4, revealing how divine appointments often lead us through unexpected paths that challenge cultural norms and personal comfort.

• Jesus "had to" pass through Samaria despite geographical alternatives and cultural tensions
• Jews typically avoided Samaritans, taking longer routes to avoid contact
• Jesus followed the Father's direction toward a divine appointment with the Samaritan woman
• Christians must identify what God is telling them to do, even when it requires courage or defies social norms
• Universal commands include making disciples, forgiving others, putting away sin, and practicing generosity
• Growing faithful in general biblical principles may lead to more specific divine guidance
• Mary's instruction to "do whatever he tells you" provides a simple but powerful directive
• Consider what you would do for God's glory if you knew it wouldn't fail, and why you're not doing it already
