Felt Needs

Last night, I asked you to listening, watch, and and talk to the people we see everyday in our schools, community, and places of work in order to discern their felt needs. Now obviously, everyone's greatest need is Jesus Christ. We all firmly believe that! But as we see in the Bible and in our own experience, Jesus enters into peoples' lives through their place of greatest need.

For example, Jesus entered into the life of the Samaritan woman, who was by herself collecting water, by talking about her need for living water (John 4). After their brother Lazarus died, he entered into the life of Mary and Martha by talking about himself as the resurrection and the life (John 11). To a crowd he just fed, he talked about himself as the bread of life (John 6).

So, after you've spent some time listening, watching, and talking, please comment on this post by listing the felt needs of the people you talked to. Give a brief description of who they are and what their felt need is. I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon!
