  4. When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?” (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.) The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.) Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.” John 4:7-14

  5. John 4: 7-14 cont. “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?”  Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again,  but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

  6. "Religion was a big part of my life--going to school, reading the Bible, praying to Jesus, going to confession, thinking about good, bad, what's sin, what's an original sin, what's a venial sin, but that's all morals and ethics.  I grew up wanting to break the rules because the rules didn't make sense.  They don't answer the bigger questions... I never really got a lot of my questions answered, so consequently, I just sort of moved away from religion.” Madonna

  7. Playboy mogul Hugh Hefner admits that despite countless "lovers," he has "never known a fulfillment of love.” Christopher West, Fill These Hearts

  12. Gospel 3 – The Banquet

  13. Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth— for your love is more delightful than wine. He has taken me to the banquet hall, and his banner over me is love. Song of Songs 1:2,2:4

  14. (His love).. burns like a blazing fire, Like a mighty flame… rivers cannot wash it away. Song of Songs 8:6-7

  15. 2 Theological Distortions/Imbalances • Pleasure, and the Body, is Bad 2. Humans are rotten, worthless, depraved, evil.

  16. Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame. Gen. 2:25

  17. Guilt – about what we have done “I did something bad” Shame –about who we are. “I am bad”

  18. “I did not need to repent. I needed to be rescued from my shame. And that is exactly what Jesus had chosen to do by casting his lot with me and with all the men and women the world would shame and reduce to nothing for simply being who they are.” Roberta Bondi

  19. Common Shame Categories • appearance and body image • parenting (how our children are perceived/ or us as parents) • family (ethnicity, secrets) • money • work • mental and physical health • aging • speaking out • abuse or trauma • weakness • failures

  20. Shame – intensely painful feeling of being flawed, defective, and unworthy of connection with God, yourself, or others. adapted from Brene Brown

  21. Lk. 15:11-24 Father saw him and ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.” …Let’s have a feast and celebrate... So they began to celebrate!” …When the older son heard music and dancing…”

  22. Symbols vs. Sacraments x Y SYMBOL SACRAMENT Unlike symbols sacraments actually participate in the reality to which they point.

  23. We do not want merely to SEE beauty, though, God knows, even that is bounty enough. We want something else which can hardly be put into words—to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become part of it. C.S. Lewis
