In Part One of the series Follow Me: Becoming a Disciple of Jesus, Pastor Jay Tyler challenges us to move beyond casual Christianity and into true discipleship. While many believe in Jesus, far fewer are truly following Him, and Jesus never separated belief from surrender. If you’ve ever wondered what it truly means to follow Christ or if you’ve settled for belief without transformation, this message is a powerful call to full surrender. Because while salvation is free, it will cost you everything, and what Jesus gives in return is far greater.

In this message, “He Had to Go Through Samaria — Don’t Miss Your One,” Pastor Jay Tyler walks through John 4 and the powerful encounter between Jesus and the woman at the well. What seemed like an ordinary journey was actually a divine appointment, because Jesus wasn’t passing through Samaria; He was pursuing one person. Don’t miss your one.

Through the example of Jesus and the teaching of Scripture, this message reveals that humility is not weakness, but a posture of surrender that invites the grace of God and the work of the Spirit. If you’ve ever felt stuck trying to live the Christian life in your own strength, this message is an invitation to stop striving and start surrendering, because true transformation happens when we depend on the Holy Spirit.
