DONE - waiting time because of avoidance !

Main message: The preacher urges believers to stop avoiding difficult people and situations and to face relational and spiritual issues directly, following Jesus’ intentional decision to go through Samaria. Confronting prejudice and problems is presented as faithful obedience and necessary for growth.

Key points:

• The text says Jesus “had to” pass through Samaria, highlighting he intentionally entered a region Jews typically avoided.
• Jews historically detoured around Samaritans out of prejudice; Jesus modelled engaging rather than bypassing those considered outsiders.
• The congregation is challenged to stop circling around problems and to address family, faith, and personal issues head-on.
• Personal application: choose to deal with conflict and brokenness instead of wasting time avoiding it.
