When heavier-than-anything Louisville band Coliseum began to sense their time together was coming to a close around 2015, band leader and seed-writer Ryan Patterson started to get some glimpses of his next move but was struggling to find his voice within that sylistic change. It was a move from guitar-bass-drums based pummeling into synth-synth-bass-drummachine based songs that were much more mid 80's Dark Wave than Coliseum's post hardcore earth-rattling. Turns out he found his voice in what would become Fotocrime with the help of producer J Robbins (who also produced several Coliseum records) and since 2017 has released a growing catalog of these darkly powerful analog synth-based records, their latest ACCELERATED (Artofffact). Ryan decided to take the Fotocrime recording process into his own hands for Accelerated in his own home studio which has grown to where he can record other projects as needed. It's a huge growth for this seeker, and one consistent with how he has chosen to exist with the help of his own business, SHIRTKILLER.COM which is quite successful in it's own right and gives Ryan an endless supply of subjects to create for and with.

The Gospel Saves Us into True Friendships Colossians 4:7-18 Introduction Good morning, Church! My name is Trent Houck, and I am one of the Pastors here at FCBC. We are closing out our series on the book of Colossians with this 18th sermon on the book. Over the past weeks, we have heard the Gospel preached through: Steve Walker, Ryan Patterson, Billy Mogensen, Dave Gibson, David O'Hara, Javier Sepulveda/Ben Tyson, Josiah Gerbitz, and Benj Foreman. We have been meditating on the truth of God's word that: 1.Jesus is enough (Col. 1:1-8) 2.Jesus is the one we run to in prayer (Col. 1:9-14) 3.Jesus is enough because he is preeminent (Col. 1:15-20) 4.Jesus' sufficiency saves us from our insufficiency (Col. 1:21-23) 5.Jesus' presence in us is the hope of glory! (Col. 1:24-29) 6.Jesus is our treasure of wisdom and knowledge (Col. 2:1-5) 7.We receive Christ, and walk in him (Col. 2:6-7) 8.Jesus is captivating (Col. 2:8-15) 9.Jesus is the substance and fullness of God (Col. 2:16-19) 10. Man made rules keep us from Christ (Col. 2:20-23) 11.Jesus is a worthy object for our new minds (Col. 3:1-4) 12.Christians slay sin because Jesus is enough (Col. 3:5-11) 13.Christian Community is defined by love (Col. 3:12-17) 14.The Gospel determines family order (Col. 3:18-22) 15.Christ's Kingdom is worth working for (Col. 3:23-4:1) 16. Christians preach the Gospel! (Col. 4:2-5) 17. Christians are saved to preach the Gospel prayerfully, wisely, and graciously (Col. 4:2-6) 18.Finally: The Gospel saves us into true friendships (Col. 4:7-18) All of this is to highlight our central theme: Rooted in Christ 6 Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him,7 rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving. But, what does all this actually look like? It would be so easy for all of us to walk away from Colossians with better theology, more insight, and deeper interest in the person and work of Christ and to miss the connection to real people in real places. The final section of Colossians means to show us that the Gospel saves us into true friendship. That is to say, that when you have been reconciled to God, that necessarily means that you are in right standing with your brothers and sisters in Jesus. In other words, when you come to Christ, when you become a friend of God, you inherit all of Jesus' friends also. Illustration 1: (1st service just imagine) So, I would like to begin this section by illustration. I need 10 volunteers. (Count them out). Once I call you out, come on up and sit in a seat on the stage. Each of you will represent one of the people mentioned in Colossians 4:7-18. Let's hear God's word. Read the Text 7 Tychicus will tell you all about my activities. He is a beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord.8 I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are and that he may encourage your hearts, (1) 9 and with him Onesimus, our faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will tell you of everything that has taken place here. (2) (Ask Tychicus and Onesimus to go sit down) 10 Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, (3) and Mark the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you have received instructions—if he comes to you, welcome him), (4) (Ask this group to stay) 11 and Jesus who is called Justus. These are the only men of the circumcision among my fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me. (5) (Stay) 12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, greets you, always struggling on your behalf in his prayers, that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God. 13 For I bear him witness that he has worked hard for you and for those in Laodicea and in Hierapolis. (6) (Ask Epaphras to get into a prayer posture) 14 Luke the beloved physician greets you, (7) as does Demas. (8) (Ask to wave and look dignified) 15 Give my greetings to the brothers at Laodicea, (Left Side of the Sanctuary) (Ask congregation to say: "Greetings!") and to Nympha and the church in her house. (9) (Ask the congregation on the left side to say: "Hi Nympha!) 16 And when this letter has been read among you, have it also read in the church of the Laodiceans; and see that you also read the letter from Laodicea. (Ask the congregation to say: "You got it, Paul!") 17 And say to Archippus, “See that you fulfill the ministry that you have received in the Lord.” (10) (Ask the Congregation to say: "We'll tell him!") 18 I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you. (Self) (Ask the congregation to celebrate volunteers and the close of the letter). Prayer: Let's pray together. Heavenly Father, we come before your word now in order to allow you to speak to our hearts. We recognize that this too is your word. In your sovereign plan, you chose to use these men and women to advance your Gospel. Help us to catch a vision of what this would look like for our own lives. Jesus, we praise you for your perfect life. The Father sent you, and you went for the joy set before, even enduring the cross. We thank you for your atoning death, for drinking the cup of God's wrath against sin, so that we might have friendship with God and fellowship with one another. Thank you for your resurrection, for the fact that you are now seated at the right hand of the throne in heaven, making intercession for us, even as we gather before you. Holy Spirit, give us a vision for Gospel-friendships and Gospel-partnerships here at FCBC. Give us the boldness, courage, and desire to lay down our lives for others, to trust each other, and to grow in maturity to the stature and fullness of Christ. We pray these things for the glory of God in Jesus' name, amen. Exegetical Introduction The Gospel saves us into true friendship. You don't have to look past the first verse in Colossians to see that Paul was a man who loved friendship. He writes in Colossians 1:1-2, "Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother. To the saints and faithful brothers in Christ at Colossae…" Timothy was one of Paul's closest friends. Paul writes of Timothy in Philippians 2:20, "...I have no one like him[Timothy], who will be genuinely concerned for your welfare" and "...you know Timothy's proven worth, how as a son with a father he has served with me in the gospel" (Phil. 2:22). Paul almost never worked alone, and when it came to writing his books, he gave credit to the co-author, Timothy. That's true friendship. Do you have these kinds of friends? Even a best friend? In many ways, the entire letter to the Colossians was an expression of friendship. We rarely write letters today, but the communication between Paul and Collosae was dripping with familial affection and love. Since Paul has come to know Epaphras, he has come to love him. And, a friend of Epaphras (who planted the church in Colossae, and wanted to plant more in the Lycus Valley) is a friend of Paul's. Paul loved to surround himself with friends. One author writes, “In the book of Acts there are more than 100 different Christians associated with Paul. He named sixteen different friends in Romans 16 alone! Here in Colossians he was true to form as he named ten people in closing.”[ Hughes, Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon, 362. ] Why do you think that Paul had so many friends? Paul had friends because friendship is intrinsic to the Gospel. It's like pizza with cheese. You can't have pizza without the cheese. (I suppose, some of you can). Paul writes, "He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption the forgiveness of sins" (Colossians 1:14). You can't have the Gospel without the "us". That is, Jesus' decisive saving work in the life of the believer places you in a new kingdom. And, a friend of Jesus is a friend of mine, Paul says. In fact, Paul goes so far as to say that these relationships are brother/sister relationships. Because of Jesus' finished work, we are now family. Now, these new brothers and sisters are not only people who destroy your lego sets, leave their clothes out in your room, and savagely beat you at Monopoly. These are the kinds of brothers and sisters who get you presents at Christmas, help you with the dishes, and are people you'd like to emulate.[ Edit: Every isolated individual sipping Starbucks and reading their Bibles on Sundays thinking that they can have Jesus without the Church are sorely mistaken. Jesus without the Church, is Trent without Lauren. Jesus without the Church, is spirituality without realism. Jesus without the Church is not what Jesus died for. Jesus died for his bride. And, he calls Christians to live for her, to love her, to strengthen her. Because, after all, who hates his own body? ] Main Question/Tension: So, here is the main question for us this morning: are we actively engaging with these kinds of friendships here at FCBC? Are you a good friend? Paul has already detailed for us that sin breaks friendships down in a few ways. He writes, "Here [that is, in the household of God] there is not Greek and Jew [that is, friendship on the basis of racial or ethnic background], circumcised and uncircumcised [that is, friend lines because of religious background], barbarian [that is, friend lines on the basis of social status], Scythian [geography or obscurity], slave [economic status], free [citizenry]; but Christ is all [that is, what matters most] and in all [that is, in all kinds of people]" (Col. 3:11). Paul says, "none of these things need to divide you." However, because we live in a fallen world, left to ourselves we do divide over all kinds of things. We feel alienated by people who are different than us, and we sometimes actively or accidentally alienate those who would otherwise befriend us.This happens within our church even as it happens in our world. People want to form groups around age, gender, married, single, kids, no kids, hobbies, school choice, background, and the like. We naturally drift toward people who are just like us. Raise your hand if you have ever felt lonely. Have you ever wondered why? What's the solution to this sin problem? The answer is the Gospel. The Gospel saves us into true friendships. Here's what this means. The Gospel saves us into at least six kinds of friendships. We need all the types. And, we need to learn to become all of them as well.[ What Paul details here in this list of friends is that the Gospel rescues us into active friendship with a variety of kinds of people. This is good news, because the Gospel is not reductionistic. God knows that we need close friends, weird friends, old friends, new friends, lost friends, found friends, and everywhere in between. ] This is the good news: when we become friends with Jesus through his death, burial and resurrection, we have a friend who will never leave us or forsake us, and Jesus brings you into friendship with his best friends. Outline: The Gospel saves us into: 1.Commissioned Friendships (Colossians 4:7-9). a.These are friends we purposefully give away to others. 2.Comfort Friendships (Colossians 4:10-11). a.These are longtime childhood friends. 3.Commended Friendships (Colossians 4:12-13). a.These are respected friends that we look up. 4.Church Friendships (Colossians 4:15-16). a.These are friends that we'd only make because of the Gospel. 5.Collapsing Friendships (Colossians 4:17). a.These are friends who need support, struggling friends. 6.Current Friendships (Colossians 4:18). a.New Friends.[ Edit: a.What kinds of friends do you need? (Ask God for this) b.What kind of friend am you? (Ask your friends about this) c.What kinds of friends have you had in the past? (Praise God for this!) d.What kind of friend will you be in the future? (Ask God about this) e.What do I appreciate most about God's friendship with me? (Praise God for this!)] Main Point: The Gospel saves us into true friendships. Commissioned Friendships (Colossians 4:7-9) First, the Gospel saves us into commissioned friendships. We read, 7 Tychicus will tell you all about my activities. He is a beloved brother and faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord.8 I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are and that he may encourage your hearts,9 and with him Onesimus, our faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They will tell you of everything that has taken place here. Tychicus and Onesimus are commissioned friends. Tychicus was a loyal friend. He was faithful. He was with Paul when Paul went through really hard times. Paul wrote: "I was shipwrecked, in danger from rivers, danger from robbers, danger from my own people, danger from Gentiles, danger in the city, danger in the wilderness, danger at sea, danger from false brothers; in toil and hardship, through many a sleepless night, in hunger and thirst, often without food, in cold and exposure" (2 Corinthians 11:25-27). Tychicus was there for all that. Many left Paul behind, but Tychicus stuck by him. As the Colossian letter is being written in Rome, someone had to volunteer to take it back. Paul was probably scratching his chin, wondering: who should I send to take this back to the Colossians? Tychicus had internalized this beautiful passage from Romans, "How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed, Tychicus? And how are they to believe in him in whom they have never heard, Tychicus? And how are they to hear without someone preaching, Tychicus? And how are they to preach unless they are sent, Tychicus? As it is written, 'How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!'" (Romans 10:14-16). As the final pen strokes of Colossians are being laid, I imagine that Paul is asking: Who will go for us? Tychicus steps forward. "Send me, I'll go." More than likely, tears filled Paul's eyes, realizing what he was asking. "Yes, Tychicus, you will go, but not without Onesimus." Onesimus looked up surprised. "Me?" Onesimus is a runaway slave. Paul says, "Yes you, Onesimus. I have a letter for your master Philemon that you will carry as well."[ Meynell, Colossians For You, 169. ] Tears fill Onesimus's eyes for other reasons. "Remember, Onesimus, 'Here in the body of Christ there is no…' "Slave or Free." Onesimus says. "Okay, Paul. I will go." Onesimus was being commissioned to apply the Gospel to a broken friendship and partnership with Philemon. And, Onesimus was being sent to repair the breach because, "If two believers cannot be reconciled, then either both or one is not in fellowship with God."[ Hughes, 364. ] Tychicus went to deliver the letter. Onesimus went as the embodiment of the message. Gospel proclamation necessarily means this kind of Gospel friendship. These two depart on their 1000 mile journey to the Colossians with their letters in hand, and one more (likely Ephesians). Do you have friends like that? If you know Jesus, you have a friend who was sent to deliver you a message. If you know Jesus, you know someone like Onesimus too: Jesus was the message (John 1). Paul has friends that he is willing to commission so that the Gospel advances in the world. He trusts them. He leans on them. He sends them. Paul sends Tychicus and Onesimus. Paul has commissioned friends. But, doesn't that leave Paul lonely? That leads us to our next point: Comfort Friendships (Colossians 4:10-11) Second, the Gospel saves us into friendships that bring us comfort. When we lose friends, it's really important that we are not left alone. So, God provides other kinds of friends. Paul writes, 10 Aristarchus my fellow prisoner greets you, and Mark the cousin of Barnabas (concerning whom you have received instructions—if he comes to you, welcome him), 11 and Jesus who is called Justus. These are the only men of the circumcision among my fellow workers for the kingdom of God, and they have been a comfort to me So, Paul has three Jewish friends. These are friends who share heritage, upbringing, native language, and new life in Jesus. If you have been in foreign area for any length of time, you begin to hunger and thirst for your native language, culture, and norms. God graciously provides these three men to: a.Be in prison with him (Aristarchus) b.Be reconciled to him (Mark) c.Be with him (Jesus). Now, Paul highlights these men for a few different reasons: 1.The Colossians care about Paul! They want to know how he is doing. They want to know that he's alive, and how God is providing for him. They desire to pray for him and help him in any way they can. They are not indifferent to him. 2.The Colossians wondered about Mark. If the Colossians are aware of Mark's departure from Paul in Acts 16, they'll need to know that things are good between them now. As you remember, there was a point when Mark bailed on Paul, and it hurt him pretty badly! But, Paul wants them to know that they are in good hands if Mark comes their way. They've reconciled. 3.The Colossians needed to know who was safe. We don't know almost anything about Jesus called Justus. But,I think that Paul mentions him here so that if the Colossians have developed an apprehension to Jewish teachers because of the Colossian heresy, they would know that Jesus called Justus comes recommended by Paul. These are comfort, safe friends. They are people who continually encourage Paul's heart because they get him. These are friends with whom Paul would share inside jokes from his culture. They would know his native language. They would be able to speak in a unique way to the matters of his heart. But, doesn't Paul also need to be challenged? This leads us to our third point: Commended Friendships (Colossians 4:12-14) Third, the Gospel saves us into commended friendships. These are friendships with people that we look up to in the faith, or at least those who are peers with us. Even Paul needed to see examples of faith. He needed to be encouraged by church planters and missionaries. He needed to be reminded of the Gospel. He writes, 12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, greets you, always struggling on your behalf in his prayers, that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God. 13 For I bear him witness that he has worked hard for you and for those in Laodicea and in Hierapolis. This is quite a commendation! "Praise from the praiseworthy is above all rewards."[ Attributed to Tolkien. ] To have the hard-working, prayerful Paul say: "That guys is hard-working! That guy is prayerful!" is a deep commendation of Epaphras' spiritual fitness. This was encouraging to Paul. Paul didn't always have good days. There were times that Paul was really lonely, scared, fearful, and depressed, just like we would be if we were in his situation. We read in 2 Corinthians 1:8-9, 8 For we do not want you to be unaware, brothers, of the affliction we experienced in Asia. For we were so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself.9 Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death. But that was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead (2 Corinthians 1:8-9). There were also times when Paul was anxious: 28 And, apart from other things, there is the daily pressure on me of my anxiety for all the churches. 29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to fall, and I am not indignant? (2 Corinthians 11:28) Epaphras reminded Paul of why he was doing what he was doing. Epaphras was a church-planter, a missionary. Paul's own life was reflected in Epaphras. And, Jesus' life was reflected in both. So, Paul commends three things about Epaphras: 1.His prayer life. Epaphras prays often "...always struggling on your behalf…" He prays specifically "...that you may stand mature and fully assured in all the will of God."[ Edit: We know that Epaphras was also in prison with Paul (Philemon 23). While being chained, Epaphras knew that the most effective work that he could do for the kingdom was through prayer. ] 2.His work ethic. "He has worked hard for you." Epaphras is not in this for self-glory, but for Gospel advancement. He hits his knees, preaches, teaches, and leads for the sake of the Gospel. This impresses Paul. 3.His vision. And if that isn't enough, Epaphras wants to see the Gospel advance. He has a heart "For those in Laodicea and Hierapolis." He's not concerned only for his hometown, but for the surrounding cities. Paul mentions two more friends: 14 Luke the beloved physician greets you, as does Demas. You can read about Luke all throughout the book of Acts. He is the Author of Luke and Acts, and he is a key player in the Gospel advancing. He is the "beloved healer", probably extremely bright, intellectual, and competent. We don't know a ton about Demas. At the moment of the writing of Colossians, he is "a fellow worker with Paul"[ Philemon 1:24. ] Maybe that's all we need to know! Nonetheless, Paul needed commendable friends. Even so, Paul needs friends who will move the Gospel work forward. That leads us to our next point. Church Friendships (Colossians 4:15-16) Fourth, God saves us into Church friendships. These are friendships that develop around the mission of Christ, and that continue in the mission of Christ. 15 Give my greetings to the brothers at Laodicea, and to Nympha and the church in her house. 16 And when this letter has been read among you, have it also read in the church of the Laodiceans; and see that you also read the letter from Laodicea. Paul expected that the Colossians would pass along the things that he had said to the Laodiceans and to the Church in Nympha's house. Further, he expected that his letters would be read all over the Lycus Valley. The "letter from Laodicea" is probably Ephesians.[ Meynell, Colossians for You, 173. ] This means that his communication was intended to be read more broadly.[ Edit: In other words, the very words of Paul were to be taken not only as authoritative, but as the means through which other people would be converted to Christ. There were timeless, truths that have spanned beyond the Roman Empire into our day that were to be understood, applied, and lived out in the Church Age. ] Because the greetings spanned out across the Lycus Valley, we can also say, in a very indirect way, that Paul greets us from the first century through the letter to the Colossians. Pretty cool! Here is the key point: when you have deep, Gospel friendships, the relationships expand much further than just the individual. Illustration: The Gospel brings you into a sort of web of friendships. Whatever you do in one friendship affects all the rest. We can see this very clearly with Paul, but we usually don't consider the ways that we are at center-points of our web of friendships. The Christian is called to have Jesus at the center of all of his or her friendships, and that necessarily connects you to the rest of the body of Christ. That leads to our fifth point. Collapsing Friendships (Colossians 4:17) Fifth, and briefly, Collapsing friends. These are people who are struggling in Christian ministry and are very tempted to give up. We are not to see these people as projects or as lost causes, but to follow Paul's examples in the following way: 17 And say to Archippus, “See that you fulfill the ministry that you have received in the Lord.” Maybe Archippus was just beginning in ministry (Phil. 1:2), or maybe there was a particular issue that was leading him to feel like he couldn't fulfill his ministry. Either way, Paul singled out this man and called the Colossian Church to reaffirm their desire for him to fulfill his ministry. Paul, at the end of his own life says this in 2 Timothy 4: 6 For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.8 Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing. (2 Timothy 4:6-8). Paul knows that it is not how a minister starts his ministry that really matters, but how one finishes. All along the way, there will be people in your life who will struggle to finish well. We are called to encourage them. That leads us to our final point. Current Friendships (Colossians 4:18) Sixth, and finally, Paul affirms his friendships with the Colossians. 18 I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you. Paul knows that his personal voice matters to the Colossians. He pulls back the curtain and says something to help the Colossians feel, know and believe that Paul is for them because God is for them. Application: a.What kinds of friends do you need? (Ask God for this) b.What kind of friend are you? (Ask your friends about this) c.What kinds of friends have you had in the past? (Praise God for this!) d.What kind of friend will you be in the future? (Ask God about this) e.What do I appreciate most about God's friendship? (Praise God for this!) Testimony & Baptism So ends the book of Colossians. We are going to transition now into two things. 1.Testimony: We are going to show a short recap of testimonies from people who have been encouraged by the message of Colossians. Then, 2.Baptism: We are going to see a baptism together. Water baptism, intended for true believers who have been saved by the work of Christ, is an act of obedience and a visual demonstration of a person's union with Christ in the likeness of His death and resurrection. It signifies that the power of sin is broken, vividly depicting a believer's newness of life. Key Texts: Mt 28:19- 20; Acts 2:41; 8:34-39; Rom 6:3-11. a. The person being baptized will share their testimony, be baptized and then we will celebrate the end of this series with one final song of worship. Let's join together in celebrating what God has done here at FCBC in the past 3-4 months.

Good morning church, it is a joy and a privilege to be with you today. If you are new here this morning and don’t know me, my name is Ryan Patterson and I am the pastor of worship and young adults. My exhortation usually comes in the form of singing or at least behind a guitar so I am praying that God would grant me the grace to put on display His glory from behind the pulpit this morning. It is such a joy to lead you in the singing portion of our worship week to week and my aim whether it’s behind a guitar, behind a pulpit, or behind a coffee table at my favorite coffee shop Push N Pour (shameless plug), is to have the Word of Christ dwell richly in our hearts in such a way that it propels us to worship Jesus in every way, shape, and form (yes in our singing, but ultimately in our living). To be honest with you, when Jason asked if I’d preach John 4:1-29, the first thing I thought was, “Oh sure, the give the worship pastor the passage about worshipping Jesus in Spirit and Truth.” If I had a dollar for every book on worship that has been written surrounding John 4:23-24 and worshipping Jesus in Spirit and Truth and how that explains our form of worship, I’d have a few hundred more dollars to my name. And while this passage can certainly help inform our approach to “worship” in the church, I’m certain that John didn’t have hymns, contemporary worship songs, organs, or rock bands on his mind when he wrote down those words of Jesus and I’m certain Jesus didn’t have those things on His mind when He spoke them to the woman at the well that we’ll meet this morning.That said, I’d like to start at the end of our passage today with one of the most compelling invitations we read in the New Testament. This comes from verse 29 of John 4 where we’ll be this morning. The compelling invitation that comes to us from the women at the well in this chapter is this: “Come and see a man who told me all that I ever did! Can this be the Christ?” While that invitation was ultimately extended to the villagers in Sychar, it’s the invitation God is extending to us this morning through His holy word.Imagine with me for a minute that you are sitting at your favorite restaurant, outside on the patio, catching up with an old friend. A less than reputable woman that you may be familiar with comes running over towards you guys and says, “Come see a man who’s told me everything I’ve ever done.” You’d be thinking to yourself either she’s crazy, given the context of this woman that you’d already be familiar with who was known for frivolous relationships with perhaps less than reputable men, OR something so compelling has caught her attention that she couldn’t help but come running back into town risking her already damaged dignity telling people about this seemingly supernatural encounter that she’s had with this guy. And then she says, “Can this be the Christ?” The answer I’d submit to you this morning is that our character in this story had truly encountered the most compelling person she’d ever met. The interesting thing about being compelled is that for something to be compelling it typically pulls us away from what initially had our attention. The object that is compelling us is compelling us away from things that had our attention towards itself which is objectively more intriguing and/or valuable and therefore worth our time and attention. That’s what makes something that’s compelling so compelling. The danger about being compelled towards something or someone is that our compulsions and needs often dictate what is compelling to us.Church, we are born with an unquenchable thirst. Unfulfillment is a plague that has consumed humanity since her inception. Certainly you experienced some of that this morning. Perhaps a bad night’s rest left you feeling tired and you thought to yourself, “If only I got a better night’s rest I would feel refreshed and wouldn’t have acted out in anger towards my family and therefore would’ve come to church in a better attitude and ready to worship the Lord.” Or maybe it’s more along the lines of, “If only I had a job where my boss wasn’t so difficult and the work wasn’t so life-taking, I’d be much more fulfilled and would greet each day with the kind of energy and excitement to serve the Lord that I long for.” You fill in the blank: if I had more money, better friendships, a different reputation, and the list goes on and on and on.We are a people of need and we are constantly looking for ways, or things to meet those needs so that we can quench what we come to see as an “unquenchable thirst.” This morning we are going to look at an incredible story from John 4 that reveals the heart’s greatest need. We’ll be introduced to a woman who woke up like any other day with what she perceived to be a normal need, like water, only to have her greatest need exposed to her by the most compelling person she had or would ever meet and that is Jesus! Let’s start by reading the first 15 verses of John 4 together.In these first 15 verses we’re going to look at two reasons why Jesus is compelling. The first we’re going to look at is that Jesus is compelling because: His calling is regardless of status, race, gender, pedigree, or background. Let’s look at the comparison John gives us in the two interactions we have between Jesus and people we encounter in John 3 and 4. Last week we looked at Nicodemus, a self-made man. On the council of the Sanhedrin, what would be known as the Jewish Supreme Court, and a Pharisee at that. Even his name, which is Greek by the way, translates as “victor over the people.” Needless to say, he was who you wanted to be if you were looking to establish prominence within Jewish culture. A man, studied and positioned amongst the Sanhedrin, with a place of prominence and power within his people. It’s against that backdrop that we see Jesus’s next personal intimate human encounter.Enter the woman at the well. A woman, a Samaritan at that, or rather known as a “half breed” amongst the Jews, fetching water at the sixth hour. If John uses the Jewish reckoning of time with sunrise starting at 6:00 am ,it would have been roughly noon, or if he used Roman time it would have been 6 hours from 12:00 pm meaning it would’ve been roughly 6:00 pm. Either way, this is an extremely hot and inconvenient part of the day, which indicates that she didn’t want to fetch water with the other women in the cool of the day, or more likely they didn’t want her, which means she was a despised member of society in an already despised society. We’ll learn in verses 16-18 that she has a live in lover with many previous frivolous relationships with men.Could you come up with a more drastic scope of humanity upon which Jesus enters the scene? Nicodemus the Jew of Jews and the despised Samaritan woman of Sychar.Church, undoubtedly this morning there are Nicodemuses in here. Perhaps your moral obligations and obedient tendencies have left you feeling like you “have it together.” We live in a culture that honors hard work. And there is nothing wrong with hard work. If you work hard at school you get a diploma and good GPA. This is rewarded by getting you into a good college. You work hard in college and get a degree and this is rewarded by landing you a good job. You work hard at your job and this is rewarded with a promotion and inevitably a pay raise and on and on the cycle of merited favor goes. And there is nothing wrong with that cycle… in this economy. But the economy of grace completely blows that notion out of the water! It says there isn’t enough good works that can earn you a place of favor with God! As Augustus Toplady, the hymn writer, said in his hymn Rock of Ages, “Not the labor of my hands can fulfill thy laws demands. Could my zeal no respite know, could my tears forever flow. All for sin could NOT atone. THOU must save and THOU ALONE!” If you find yourself resonating with Nicodemus in here this morning, then know this, Jesus has an answer for your condition!Church, undoubtedly there are women at the well in here this morning. You take one long look at your life and think to yourself, “I’ve made a wreck of this, beyond repair. I have sinned beyond measure, and there is NO hope for a despised Samaritan woman at the well like myself.” If you find that to be your position this morning, than know this, Jesus has an answer for your condition. What is this answer you say!? Well let’s look back at the text and continue on with our story.Jesus and His disciples leave Judea to depart for Galilee and have to pass through Samaria, which most Jews did despite their distaste for Samaritans because the alternative would’ve been an inconvenient detour through Transjordan which was largely Gentile, and He arrives about half a mile north of the town Sychar, the intended destination, at a well, Jacob’s well to be precise. And look at what the text says in verse 6, “Jesus wearied from the journey sits down at the well at about the sixth hour.” Before we move on, let’s camp here for a minute. Church, let’s not miss an incredible part of John’s descriptive narrative here. Jesus was weary and undoubtedly thirsty hence the next thing to come out of His mouth. The creator of the universe, the one who took two hydrogen atoms and linked them together through a chemical bond to an oxygen atom to form a water molecule, was thirsty. Oh the depths our Savior stooped to take on the form of humanity to save humanity from the curse! If we miss that we miss this whole narrative and really the purpose of the gospel of John and ultimately the whole point of Scripture.We read on in verses 7-9 and see here the transcendent love of Christ. There are so many ceremonial laws being broken here and I wish we had the time to go back in time and look at the tense history between these two people groups. The nation of Israel splits politically after Solomon’s rule into a northern and southern kingdom and the northern kingdom (aka Samaria) is thrown into captivity by the Assyrians leading to the pollution of that “pure” line, hence the half-breed association. If we had time, we would go over how all of that puts God’s sovereign redemptive plan on display, but we don’t, so suffice it to say there is a lot of bad blood between Jews and Samaritans. And yet Jesus says four simple words that would change this woman’s life forever, “Give me a drink.”The woman, who would have been well associated with all the cultural and historical nuances surrounding the cloudy history between these two people groups, is completely surprised at Jesus’s request, and for good reason. The Jews worshiped in Jerusalem. Samaritans worshiped at the temple on mount Gerizim until it was destroyed in 108 BC. By relating in any way to a Samaritan as a Jew, you would have run the risk of incurring ritual defilement. Not only that, most Jews held to the notion that all Samaritan women were in a perpetual state of ceremonial uncleanness. So no wonder Jesus’s request left her dumbfounded, like “What are you doing!” But notice Jesus’s response. He doesn’t indulge the political, religious, racial, or socioeconomic disparity between the two that she immediately responds with. He goes right to the point that brought him to that divine appointment.This is where we come to our next reason why Jesus is compelling: His calling actually quenches our thirst. It’s effective. Here in verse 10 Jesus begins to shift the conversation in a way that would leave her speechless. He says to her, “Woman, if one you knew who was sitting here with you, if you only knew. The request would be reversed. You would ask of me and I would give to you living water.”O church, how often are we in this same position of willful ignorance? We go to the wells of our desires in hopes that they would fill us, when in reality the Maker of the universe sits at the well with us saying if only you knew who was offering you life. But that is the devastating reality of our sin. It blinds us to the truth of who God is. We sit with the Creator of the universe and deny His goodness and His call. C.S. Lewis said it really well when he said, "It would seem that our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”This is our condition, we are blind to our needs and don’t know what is being offered to us even if we wanted to. But church, what good news it is that this Savior so happens to be the best optometrist in the universe and is in the business of making blind eyes see!And even now the woman continues to be blinded at the reality Jesus is bringing to her in verse 10. He’s not talking about water at all. No, He’s talking about Life. But we see in her response to His offer a feeling of being incensed that moves to wonder. And it would seem strange, would it not? She’s looking at him thinking, “Why would I ask you for water, you don’t even have a bucket to draw water with.” Not only that, but the idea of living water which in her mind she might be thinking the bubbling spring water that lies below the standing water in the well. Jacob’s well is estimated to be over 100 feet deep and Jesus has no way of reaching and collecting the water at the bottom. We see the negatively implied assumption when she says, “Are you better than our Father Jacob?” The Samaritans traced their lineage back to Jacob by way of Joseph who was given Jacob’s plot of land known as Shechem on his death bed back in Genesis 48. This piece of history was dear to them and she is saying if this was good enough for our mighty father Jacob and his sons who are you to say that it’s not good enough for me, or that you offer something better?But Jesus engages her bewilderment even deeper with His answer, look again at verses 13 and 14. He answers her rhetorical question not simply with a yes but with a resounding YES and here is why: what I offer actually quenches thirst! Jesus appeals to her craving for ultimate rest and satisfaction by offering her something that ultimately brings rest and satisfies! And look at the uniqueness even in how Jesus responds with this hope. New Testament commentator William Hendriksen puts it this way and I think is such a helpful visual.Physical Water from Jacob’s well: cannot prevent one from becoming thirsty again and again and again. The Living Water that Jesus provides: makes one lose thirst for all time (in other words it gives lasting satisfaction).Physical Water from Jacob’s well: remains outside of the soul and is incapable of filling it’s needs. The Living Water that Jesus provides: enters into the soul and remains within as a source of spiritual refreshment and satisfaction.Physical Water from Jacob’s well: is limited in quantity, lessens and disappears whenever we drink it. The Living Water that Jesus provides: is a self perpetuating spring. Here on earth it sustains a person spiritually, but it also gives us a view unto eternal life.Church, do you see how much better Jesus is than any other well we run to to quench our thirst? Jesus isn’t just better than Jacob, or his well, He’s better than EVERYTHING!By this point the woman is intrigued. And to be honest Church, I’m not certain how much she understood the spiritual implications of what Jesus was saying and offering. She undoubtedly knew that this stranger named Jesus would most certainly be better than Jacob if He could make good on His promise by offering water that indefinitely satisfied her physical thirst. I mean look at verse 15: she’s convinced she wants this water, especially if it means that she doesn’t have to high tail it to this well every day at noon or 6:00 pm to fetch water.But Church, this is where Jesus blows the lid off the thing and shows us our final two ways we’ll look at this morning as to why he is compelling in these next 9 verses. Let’s read verses 16-29 together. Jesus is compelling because: He exposes who we are.Jesus takes a deep dive here and exposes something about her that he couldn’t have known otherwise (other than that we know from the text He indeed knew). The woman was obviously still not understanding the heart of the matter Jesus was getting at, so He moves to something she would understand by illuminating her eyes to her own personal, spiritual, and moral failure as a human.Church, when Jesus exposes us at our core it’s because He is the only one who knows our inward being. David talks about this when he is repenting of his sin with Bathsheba and Uriah in Psalm 51:6 when he says, “Behold you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.” And while there seems to be a total abrupt change in subject from water to her interpersonal relationships, I would submit to you that Jesus is making a deep connection here between her request and His answer. Just one verse prior she says, “Sir give me this water,” not even realizing what she’s asking for. How often do we do this when assessing our own needs as humans? We think we are asking the right question and getting at our deepest need but in reality, we need Jesus to expose who we are even to ourselves.One commentator put is so well when he said, “There is a close connection between the woman’s request and Christ’s command to call her husband. Does the woman desire living water? Then there must be a thirst for this water. This thirst will not be truly awakened unless there be a sense of guilt, a consciousness of sin. The mention of her husband is the best means of reminding this woman of her immoral life and therefore her actual need. The Lord is now addressing Himself to her conscience.” This is the incredible thing about God’s effectual and sovereign call of the sinner. He awakens the soul to its need for Him! Jesus has just pressed into her true need and she is speechless but to say, “I have no husband.” Jesus begins to expose the moral dilemma she lives in daily. Whether or not her previous husbands had died, or there had been moral failings on one or both sides, or a combination of both, the reality stands that she now stands with her live-in lover, completely undone before the Messiah guilty as charged. In one sentence, Jesus lays bare her past and present condition. But Church, this is what the gospel of Christ does, it shines a light on the irreversible condition of man’s heart and backs it into a corner until the only way out is Jesus!In verse 19, she even tries to skirt the issue by declaring Him a prophet or literally translated a “reader of secrets” and then goes back to her narrative about historical and cultural practices of worship (the Jews worshipping in Jerusalem and the perhaps referencing the Samaritan’s worshipping on mount Gerizim). Was her motive to redirect the conversation, we don’t know. It’s probable because she did that once already by giving a less than genuine answer regarding her husband. Regardless, Jesus again moves in even further. He’s prepared the soil of the heart by exposing her condition and now He begins His grand reveal. This is where we come to our fourth and final point of why Jesus is compelling. He’s compelling not only because He exposes who we are but because: He reveals who He is.Jesus answers her rebuttal regarding ceremonial places of worship to say the hour is coming and is here when the important question isn’t where you worship, but who you worship and therefore how you worship. He’s saying look, all that your fathers were looking forward to and preparing for is here now and you don’t even see it. Jesus is building the case that He Himself is the hallowed ground upon which men will worship. William Cowper made this sentiment clear in one of his hymns when he said: “Where’er thy people meet, there they behold thy mercy seat. Where’er they seek thee thou art found and every place is hallowed ground.” This is because Jesus comes establishing worship in the heart! Worshipping Jesus in Spirit and Truth is whole body worship.F. Bruce said it well when he said: “God is Spirit. It is not merely that He is a spirit among other spirits. Rather God Himself is pure spirit and the worship in which He takes delight is accordingly spiritual worship- the sacrifice of a humble contrite grateful and adorning Spirit. This affirmation of our Lords was not entirely new; it but crowns the witness of the psalmists and prophets of earlier ages who saw that material things could at best be the vehicle of true worship but could never belong to it’s essence. The essence of worship then, is sincere heart devotion of a changed heart, indispensable as men and women present to God worship which he accepts which is worship in Spirit and Truth.”Church, the hard reality Jesus is leading the woman at the well to is the same hard reality He is leading us to and that is that apart from the Spirit of God, we can’t muster up worship that is acceptable to God. Again quoting from Augustus Toplady’s hymn Rock of Ages, he says, “Nothing in my hand I bring, simply to the cross I cling. Naked come to thee for dress. Helpless look to thee for grace. Foul I to the fountain fly, wash me Savior or I die.”We stand before the Lord of Lords with our hearts fully exposed before Him. He knows everything we’ve ever done. And it’s in that moment He reveals Himself, the answer to this woman’s condition. The answer to Nicodemus’s condition. The answer to our condition.The woman looks at Jesus now making the connection that Jesus is referring to the Messiah and says, “I know he is coming, the one who has been foretold who will make all things right.” And Jesus finally says to her, “I who speak to you am He.” He, whom the Jews expected as the promised prince of the house of David, the Lion of Judah, the sacrificial lamb, the better Adam, the one worthy to open the scroll at the end of the book, the Lord and Savior all creation had been holding its breath for was here, it was Him, Jesus, the thirsty Jewish man, sitting near the edge of the well talking to a Samaritan woman in desperate need of a Savior. Church, He is Jesus. He was the Messiah she needed and the Messiah we need.And the woman, stunned, leaves her water jar, the thing she had brought with her to satisfy her need for water, and leaves with the message of this compelling King who would satisfy not only thirst but life itself. She runs back into Sychar announcing the compelling encounter saying, “Come see a man who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?” A man compelling because:He saves regardless of where we come fromHe actually quenches our thirst and satisfies the soulHe exposes who we are because he knows who we are at our deepest levelHe reveals who he isChurch, as we close, I’d like you to just listen to this quote by Tim Keller from his book Encounters With Jesus:“Everybody has got to live for something, but Jesus is arguing that, if he is not that thing, it will fail you. First, it will enslave you. Whatever that thing is, you will tell yourself that you have to have it or there is no tomorrow. That means that if anything threatens it, you will become inordinately scared; if anyone blocks it, you will become inordinately angry; and if you fail to achieve it, you will never be able to forgive yourself. But second, if you do achieve it, it will fail to deliver the fulfillment you expected. Let me give you an eloquent contemporary expression of what Jesus is saying. Nobody put this better than the American writer David Foster Wallace. He got to the top of his profession. He was an award-winning, bestselling postmodern novelist known around the world for his boundary-pushing storytelling. He once wrote a sentence that was more than a thousand words long. A few years before the end of his life, he gave a now-famous commencement speech at Kenyon College. He said to the graduating class, ‘Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship. And the compelling reason for maybe choosing some sort of god . . . to worship . . . is that pretty much anything else you worship will eat you alive. If you worship money and things, if they are where you tap real meaning in life, then you will never have enough, never feel you have enough. It’s the truth. Worship your own body and beauty and sexual allure, and you will always feel ugly. And when time and age start showing, you will die a million deaths before [your loved ones] finally plant you. . . . Worship power, and you will end up feeling weak and afraid, and you will need ever more power over others to numb you to your own fear. Worship your intellect, being seen as smart, you will end up feeling stupid, a fraud, always on the verge of being found out. Look, the insidious thing about these forms of worship is not that they are evil or sinful; it is that they’re unconscious. They are our default settings.’ Wallace was by no means a religious person, but he understood that everyone worships, everyone trusts in something for their salvation, everyone bases their lives on something that requires faith. A couple of years after giving that speech, Wallace killed himself. And this nonreligious man’s parting words to us are pretty terrifying: ‘Something will eat you alive.’ Because even though you might never call it worship, you can be absolutely sure you are worshiping and you are seeking. And Jesus says, ‘Unless you’re worshipping me, unless I’m the center of your life, unless you’re trying to get your spiritual thirst quenched through me and not through these other things, unless you see that the solution must come inside rather than just pass by outside, then whatever you worship will abandon you in the end.’”The woman asks, “Can this be the Christ?” Answer: YES HE IS! My question to you this morning, is He your Christ? If not, leave your water jar at the well and run to Him! Run to Jesus! Fall on your knees and say, “Jesus expose me and reveal yourself to me. Forgive me of trying to quench my thirst with anything but You and give me water that leads to everlasting life and satisfaction in You, my living water.” Let’s pray.

Mike from Chicago "Hey this is Mike from Chicago, an old rugger. You probably heard that the rich rugby folks in the US are trying to put together an investment group in order to position the US to bid of either the 2027 or 2031 Rugby World Cup. I got two questions...Isn't USA Rugby broke and in bankruptcy? Where would the World Cup final be held? Rugger out. Old Mike From Chicago" The investment group is called Rugby Growth Investments (RGI). In the words of San Diego Legion (and Utah Warriors) co-owner Ryan Patterson it will function as a "strategic capital partner" for MLR, USA Rugby and World Rugby in order to "fast-track community, commercial & high-performance system preparation for a RWC in North America in 2027 or 2031. This sounds like something that has been needed for a long time. Mike is right when he brings up the point that USA Rugby has just come through bankruptcy proceedings. It's hard to think that an organization can go from bankruptcy to hosting the third largest sporting event in the world (FIFA World Cup & Summer Olympics are the only bigger events in terms of total ticket sales and TV ratings), but stranger things have happened. Finance is an art, not a science. Part of the reason USA Rugby ended up filing for bankruptcy in 2020 isn't because of the pandemic, it's from years (if not decades) of financial mismanagement. If they are able to right the ship and show financial stability and growth in the years to come (not to mention securing a bid similar to the 2026 FIFA World Cup), then we could potentially see ourselves as hosts one day (let's hope so). Here's where RGI comes in. Having a "strategic capital partner" (it's fun to put vague, corporate-sounding terms in quotations) whose role is to try to boost the commercial aspect of the sport here in the US will be massively beneficial on all levels. Will we actually get our shit together to the point where we can win a bid to host a Rugby World Cup? We have to see how effective groups like RGI are at driving corporate sponsors to open up their wallets and back the sport. As far as which year would be most optimal, my vote is for 2031. Here's the list of world cup hosts... Australia has already put forth a strong bid for 2027. They have not hosted the tournament since 2003. When France hosts in 2023, it will have been 3 straight northern hemisphere countries in a row. Japan was probably the riskiest host so credit to World Rugby. But ... France will be a second time host in 2023 and England has also hosted 2. Note to Bill "Boomer" Beaumont and his sidekick henchman Bernard Laporte: "Us non-Europeans would like some non-European RWCs". So, the southern hemisphere is due to host in 2027... NZ hosted in 2011. Argentina withdrew their 2027 bid to support their southern hemisphere partners Rugby Australia. South Africa can't seem to put a new bid together after throwing everything into hosting in 2023 (France was selected, but let's be honest ... they threw down some serious cash to make that happen). So that leaves USA Rugby with the choice of bidding against Australia for 2027, or to go against the field for 2031. England is expected to bid for 2031 (I'm not surprised considering how power/money hungry the RFU is), but for fuck sake it would be their 3rd time hosting and 2nd time within a 16 year cycle. Are the English blind to the fact that the sport would probably grown faster if they didn't continually award themselves World Cups? Let's hope that the extra 4 years (2031 instead of 2027) allows groups like RGI and whoever the hell is running USA Rugby these days (the board has flipped more times that one can follow over the past few years) can use strategically placed working capital to fuel growth over the next few years.

Ryan Patterson set out to experience the joys of stoic travel. He wants to travel around the world without taking a plane.  He was halfway across the planet when the Coronapocolypse hit.  As a result, he got stuck in Siberia. And in the winter. He took: Amtrak from San Francisco to New Orleans Greyhound bus to Florida A container ship to cross the Atlantic (10 days x $200/day). Random ground transportation through Eurasia. He had a phobia of traveling in places that don't speak English. But he faced his fear. And explains how he survived. Ryan learns that Russian women dig men with beards.

If you ever find yourself looking for something deeply cinematic or intensely moody, Fotocrime has just what you need. If there were a universal soundtrack to represent film noir, Fotocrime would be it. If you like your music on the dark side, but maintaining a high level of mastery when it comes to song writing and style, Fotocrime is just the ticket. Fresh off two EP’s last year, "Always Hell" and "Always Night," both of which were well received, post-punk trio Fotocrime is now touring with brand new music in the form of a new album, called "Principle of Pain." Frontman R/Pattern (aka Ryan Patterson) joins with Shelley Anderson and Nick Thieneman, "Principle of Pain" unites a uniquely synth-meets-metal vibe with deeply personal lyrics for a sound all its own. The members of Fotocrime have established themselves as big players in the post-punk world, and were called "darkwave heaven" by Revolver Magazine.
