In this passage we reflect on the healing of the royal official’s son, showing that true faith begins not with proof but with trust in Jesus’ word. It reminds us that belief often grows in the in-between—when the promise is spoken but the miracle hasn’t yet arrived.

The Samaritan woman didn’t have a polished story or a platform. She had a well, a conversation, and a Savior who saw her—and it changed everything.

In this episode, we see how her testimony becomes the first evangelism in John’s Gospel: “Come and see.” Not because she had all the answers, but because she met the Answer. Jesus seeks, Jesus speaks, Jesus satisfies—and then He sends.

Psalm 63 echoes the same longing: “My soul thirsts for You… Your love is better than life.” It’s a reminder that Jesus meets us in the wilderness places—and it’s often there He calls us to go and tell.

Did You Know?
The Samaritan woman is the first person Jesus explicitly tells He is the Messiah—and she becomes the spark for many others to believe.

“We are not cisterns made for hoarding; we are channels made for sharing.” — Watchman Nee

In John 4:11–26, Jesus tells the Samaritan woman, “The hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth.”

In this episode, we reflect on how worship isn’t about a place, a style, or a song—it’s about presence. It’s about meeting God honestly, in spirit and truth. The woman at the well brought her debates, her past, and her thirst—and Jesus offered her Himself.

Worship is not performance. It’s not perfect music. It’s a thirsty heart, met by the truth and grace of Jesus.

Did You Know?
Samaritans worshiped on Mount Gerizim, while Jews worshiped in Jerusalem. Jesus' response dismantled the boundary by shifting the focus to Himself.

Quote:
“To worship is to quicken the conscience by the holiness of God, to feed the mind with the truth of God.” — William Temple

In Revelation 22:1-5 John writes, “The angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb.”

In this episode, we reflect on how the living water Jesus offered in John 4 isn’t just a sip for today—it’s a stream that flows all the way to eternity. From the throne of God and the Lamb, the river of life nourishes the tree of life and heals the nations.

The water Christ gives doesn’t run dry. It’s not momentary relief—it’s an eternal current, carrying us into the heart of heaven.

Did You Know?
Revelation ends where Genesis began—with a garden and a river. Jesus is the link between the beginning and the end, the well and the waterfall.

“The river of God’s grace never runs dry—and never stands still.” — Charles Spurgeon

Isaiah’s song of salvation rises after chapters of judgment—a hymn not just of deliverance, but of delight: “With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.”

In this episode, we reflect on how true salvation is more than escape from judgment. It’s the daily joy of drawing near to God—through prayer, worship, Scripture, and surrender. Jesus echoes this promise in John 4: living water that doesn’t just refresh us, but renews us.

Did You Know? Wells were communal centers in ancient life—both physically and spiritually vital. Drawing water with joy was a symbol of peace and God’s presence.

Quote:
“The soul’s deepest thirst is quenched not by relief, but by presence.” — Ruth Haley Barton

Jesus meets a Samaritan woman at a well and says, “If you knew the gift of God… you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”

In this episode, we explore how Jesus steps into our thirst—our longing for meaning, belonging, forgiveness, and peace—and offers what truly satisfies. Just like the woman at the well, He meets us in our routines, our shame, and our searching. He doesn’t wait for us to clean up; He offers living water right where we are.

Did You Know?
Jewish men typically avoided public interaction with Samaritan women. Jesus defies both cultural and religious boundaries in this encounter.

Quote:
“Jesus is more willing to quench our thirst than we are to admit we’re thirsty.” — Tim Chester
