We live in a pluralistic society— how can we be true to who we are as Christians, not hiding who we are, but do it in a way that creates peace and civility? This sermon looks at why faith should be public through the lens of John 4. In the passage, Jesus speaks to his disciples about spiritual seed sowing—why does he use this metaphor, and what does it mean about sharing our faith? 1) Jesus gives us a call to spiritual sowing of seed. 2) He shows us a method of how to do it. 3) He gives us the power or inner motivation for doing it.
