What does it mean to worship God “in spirit and truth”? In John 4:21–26, Jesus tells the Samaritan woman that a new era of worship has arrived—one no longer defined by a particular location, ceremony, or outward ritual, but by the new life He gives.
In this sermon, we explore how the living water Jesus gives produces living worship. True worship begins in a heart made alive by God, is grounded in the truth of His Word, and flows outward into love for Christ, fellowship with other believers, prayer, obedience, and sharing the gospel with others.
Jesus doesn’t merely command the worship God requires—He enables it. Through Christ, believers can approach the Father, abide in the Son, and walk by the Spirit. Worship, then, isn’t limited to Sunday morning or to a church building. It encompasses the Christian life as we remember what God has done, submit ourselves to Him, and serve Him in response to His love.
