Audlem Baptist Church Online Service for the 28^th September 2025 Tell Her Story This is the fifth service in a series of seven.
	Welcome and Introduction This series of sermons comes from Chichester Baptist Church and is from July and August this year. The series title is Tell Her Story and we will dig into the scriptures over the coming weeks looking at some of the women we find there in both the Old Testament and the New. It is quite topical in our culture today, and we will see how these stories can strengthen our own faith, courage and witness whether we ourselves are women or men. What can we all learn?
	Song: Worthy Of It All In this series I have tried to use the same hymns that were used in Chichester before and after the message. This week the song reminds us that our God is truly worthy of our praise. Click here to watch the video.
	Bible Passage and the Message: Tell Her Story: The Woman at the Well This message is the fifth in our series and is from the 10^th of August. If you have a Bible or Bible app to hand, please find John’s Gospel chapter 4 before you start the video. This week Roger Hubert brings the message. The video starts with Jessica reading the passage for today. Click the filmstrip icon below to start watching the YouTube video. It should start automatically about 36 minutes into the complete service. When Roger finishes his message the band returns to the stage. I suggest that you stop the video at that point. We will watch a video of the song that they sang after our own prayers.. Click here to watch the message video. You can adjust the YouTube settings using the controls at the bottom right of the screen. The gear wheel on the left adjusts the quality (480 may be enough) and the box frame on the right shows the video full screen.
	Our Own Prayers I realise that I use these words every week to guide your thoughts and I still think they are a helpful summary. As you watched the message today was there a moment when you sensed the Holy Spirit speaking directly to you? Then tell Jesus about it. Or maybe you simply had a ‘lightbulb’ moment which you would like to thank God for. Spend a few moments to thank God for all his goodness to you in the last week. Spend a few minutes in confession. Take a few minutes to pray for others who you feel burdened for. If you have received the Church email, it will give you some suggestions. Now spend a few moments praying for the fellowship of the church to which we belong and its witness to friends, family, neighbours, the young and the old, and to the wider world.
	Song: Revelation Song This is a song of praise to our God’s glory. Click here to watch the video.
	A Closing Prayer Heavenly Father, Thank you for the living water which truly satisfies our deepest thirst and gives eternal life.  Like the Samaritan woman in our Story today, help us to leave behind the dead waters of the world and come to You, the Messiah who offers living water.  May we have an encounter with Jesus that transforms us, giving us the courage to share the good news of what You have done for us, so that many others will believe, Amen.
