  Scripture: John 4:6-15

Summary: People are searching for a God that is compatible to them.

I. We Want A Compatible God

A God who will:

A. Adjust To Our Prejudice (v 9)

B. Acknowledge Our Pride (v 12)

C. Alleviate Our Pain (v 15)

D. Annul Our Problems (v 17)

E. Agree With Our Position (v 19)

II. We Need A Consistent God

A God who:

A. Seeks Out Individuals (v 4, 6) (Luke 19:10)

B. Sensitive To Our Indigence (v 7; Heb. 4:15)

C. Settles Our Issues (v 19-24)

1. Prejudice (Acts 10:34-35)

2. Pride (Prov. 16:18)

3. Pain and Problems (2 Cor. 6:4-10)

4. Position (Amos 3:3)

D. Save Individuals (v 25-29, 39-42)

Conclusion: A compatible God must be tranformed into the image of man. A consistent God (consistent with His nature) transforms man into His image. The more compatible our God to us, the further we get away from the real eternal God of the Bible.
