In this episode of The Gospel of John, we explore “Living Water” from Gospel of John 4:5–15, where Jesus Christ meets a Samaritan woman at a well and offers her something far greater than ordinary water. Their conversation reveals a powerful truth about the deep spiritual thirst every person has and the life-giving gift Jesus came to provide. As we walk through this passage, we'll uncover what Jesus meant by “living water” and how His offer still satisfies the deepest needs of our hearts today.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/WEBSITE: https://evidence4faith.org/NEWSLETTER: http://eepurl.com/hpazV5BOOKINGS: https://evidence4faith.org/bookings/CONTACT: Evidence 4 Faith, 349 Knights Ave Kewaskum WI 53040 , info@evidence4faith.orgMy goal is that their hearts, having been knit together in love, may be encouraged, and that they may have all the riches that assurance brings in their understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. - Colossians 2:2-3CREDITS: Developed & Hosted by Michael Lane.

During these forty days of Lent the Church entreats our Lord Jesus Christ to give us the living water about which he spoke to the woman of Samaria near Jacob's well, the water which quenches the thirst of our souls forever.
Fields Ready for Harvest: Faith, Healing, and the Work of God – John 4:27–54 In this episode of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane continue through the Gospel of John by exploring John 4:27–54, where two powerful themes unfold—the harvest of hearts ready to believe and the healing power of Jesus' word. After His encounter with the Samaritan woman, Jesus reminds His disciples that the fields are already ripe for harvest, inviting them to see people through God's eyes. The chapter then closes with the healing of the official's son, revealing a faith that trusts Jesus' word even before seeing the result. Together, Jamie and Jane reflect on what it means to participate in God's harvest, trust Christ's authority, and recognize how belief grows when we step out in faith. This conversation encourages listeners to see the people around them as God does and to trust that His word still brings life and healing today. ____________________________________ Connect with Jamie: Website: www.jamieklusacek.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacek Connect with Jane: Website: www.janewwilliams.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams

Sunday, March 8, 2026"Seeking: Will You Give Me a Drink?" - Will RaybonSermon based on John 4:5-42(reading by Steve & Donna Bissette)
In this sermon from John 4, Jesus meets a Samaritan woman at a well in the heat of the day—a place where isolation, shame, and daily survival intersect. Rather than condemning or ignoring her, Jesus offers something unexpected: living water that restores dignity and opens the possibility of a different life. Reflecting on the biblical story alongside other “well” moments in history—places where people briefly reclaimed their humanity in the midst of hardship—this message explores how trauma, loss, and the pressures of the world can shape our sense of identity. Yet the encounter at the well reminds us that Christ already knows our stories and still offers renewal. Worship becomes a kind of well for the community of faith: a place where the dominant narratives of fear, division, and worthlessness are challenged by a different story—the promise that in Christ we are known, loved, and invited into new life.
Pastor Andrew Lovette and Pastor Ian Thomas dive into John 4's setting of Jesus meeting the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well. They discuss how, throughout Scripture, wells often frame marriage themes, connecting Genesis and Exodus to Jesus' conversation about husbands and his role as the true bridegroom. They explore the Samaritan-Jewish divide and Jesus' accommodating grace as he leads the woman from sin and shame to worship. The conversation highlights Jesus as the true temple, the meaning of worshiping in spirit and truth beyond geographic locations, the Father seeking true worshipers, and links to Revelation's bridegroom imagery and living water.
John 4:5-15, 19b-26, 39a, 40-42Jesus came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of land that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.Jacob's well was there.Jesus, tired from his journey, sat down there at the well.It was about noon.A woman of Samaria came to draw water.Jesus said to her,“Give me a drink.”His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.The Samaritan woman said to him, “How can you, a Jew, ask me, a Samaritan woman, for a drink?”—For Jews use nothing in common with Samaritans.—Jesus answered and said to her,“If you knew the gift of Godand who is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink, ‘you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”The woman said to him, “Sir, you do not even have a bucket and the cistern is deep; where then can you get this living water?Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this cistern and drank from it himself with his children and his flocks?”Jesus answered and said to her, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again; but whoever drinks the water I shall give will never thirst; the water I shall give will become in hima spring of water welling up to eternal life.”The woman said to him,“Sir, give me this water, so that I may not be thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water.“I can see that you are a prophet.Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain; but you people say that the place to worship is in Jerusalem.”Jesus said to her,“Believe me, woman, the hour is comingwhen you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.You people worship what you do not understand; we worship what we understand, because salvation is from the Jews.But the hour is coming, and is now here, when true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and truth; and indeed the Father seeks such people to worship him.God is Spirit, and those who worship him must worship in Spirit and truth.”The woman said to him,“I know that the Messiah is coming, the one called the Christ; when he comes, he will tell us everything.”Jesus said to her,“I am he, the one who is speaking with you.”Many of the Samaritans of that town began to believe in him.When the Samaritans came to him,they invited him to stay with them; and he stayed there two days.Many more began to believe in him because of his word, and they said to the woman, “We no longer believe because of your word;for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is truly the savior of the world.”

“False Wells and Living Water” (John 4:1-30) || 03/08/26 by OrlandoGrace
This week, we welcomed Tricia Hansen to continue sharing through our theme, Lent as Resistance, and how we can resist division. She challenged us to receive this encounter with the woman at the well so that we might know the presence of Christ, that we would look to be rooted in Christ, and that we might be empowered in our rootedness to put ourselves in the places where the gospel message can transform us and bridges that which feels impossible!
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Romans 5, in which Paul proclaims that Christ died for God's enemies, and John 4, in which Jesus meets a Samaritan woman. It is only in Jesus that we can be fully known and truly loved.

Third Sunday in Lent.
5 [Jesus] came to a Samaritan city called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.6 Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, tired out by his journey, was sitting by the well. It was about noon. 7 A Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink." 8 (His disciples had gone to the city to buy food.) 9 The Samaritan woman said to him, "How is it that you, a Jew, ask a drink of me, a woman of Samaria?" (Jews do not share things in common with Samaritans.) 10 Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God and who it is that is saying to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water." 11 The woman said to him, "Sir, you have no bucket, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water? 12 Are you greater than our ancestor Jacob, who gave us the well and with his sons and his flocks drank from it?" 13 Jesus said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, 14 but those who drink of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty. The water that I will give will become in them a spring of water gushing up to eternal life." 15 The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I may never be thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water." 16 Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come back." 17 The woman answered him, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You are right in saying, 'I have no husband,' 18 for you have had five husbands, and the one you have now is not your husband. What you have said is true!" 19 The woman said to him, "Sir, I see that you are a prophet. 20 Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain, but you say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem." 21 Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. 23 But the hour is coming and is now here when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such as these to worship him. 24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth." 25 The woman said to him, "I know that Messiah is coming" (who is called Christ). "When he comes, he will proclaim all things to us." 26 Jesus said to her, "I am he, the one who is speaking to you." 27 Just then his disciples came. They were astonished that he was speaking with a woman, but no one said, "What do you want?" or, "Why are you speaking with her?" 28 Then the woman left her water jar and went back to the city. She said to the people, 29 "Come and see a man who told me everything I have ever done! He cannot be the Messiah, can he?" 30 They left the city and were on their way to him. 31 Meanwhile the disciples were urging him, "Rabbi, eat something." 32 But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you do not know about." 33 So the disciples said to one another, "Surely no one has brought him something to eat?" 34 Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to complete his work. 35 Do you not say, 'Four months more, then comes the harvest'? But I tell you, look around you, and see how the fields are ripe for harvesting. 36 The reaper is already receiving wages and is gathering fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together. 37 For here the saying holds true, 'One sows and another reaps.' 38 I sent you to reap that for which you did not labor. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor." 39 Many Samaritans from that city believed in him because of the woman's testimony, "He told me everything I have ever done." 40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days. 41 And many more believed because of his word. 42 They said to the woman, "It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is truly the Savior of the world."

I recognize my deep spiritual thirst. I long for a good relationship with God and for everlasting life. I am tempted to satisfy that deep thirst with worldly things, a strategy doomed to failure. I realize that my thirst is satisfied only by the one who said, “Whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst.” Jesus meets my greatest need.Series: Exactly What I Need

Tensions ran deep between Jews and Samaritans in the first century, shaped by centuries of history, division, and mistrust. Understanding this context sheds light on why Jesus' journey through Samaria was so significant. Before the famous conversation at the well even begins, the setting itself reveals something powerful about His mission. Join us as we unpack the history that helps this passage come alive.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/WEBSITE: https://evidence4faith.org/NEWSLETTER: http://eepurl.com/hpazV5BOOKINGS: https://evidence4faith.org/bookings/CONTACT: Evidence 4 Faith, 349 Knights Ave Kewaskum WI 53040 , info@evidence4faith.orgMy goal is that their hearts, having been knit together in love, may be encouraged, and that they may have all the riches that assurance brings in their understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. - Colossians 2:2-3CREDITS: Developed & Hosted by Michael Lane.

In this episode of Mass Prep for the Mystic Heart, we reflect on the Gospel of John 4:5–42, the powerful encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well.In Scripture, wells are often places where love stories begin. Isaac's servant meets Rebekah at a well. Jacob meets Rachel at a well. Moses meets Zipporah at a well. When Jesus stops at Jacob's well and asks a Samaritan woman for a drink, something deeper is unfolding. The Bridegroom has come to meet the human soul.Jesus begins the conversation with a surprising request. “Give me a drink.” The God of the universe approaches the soul with thirst. He does not begin with correction or accusation. He begins with desire.As the conversation unfolds, Jesus reveals the deeper thirst beneath the woman's life and offers her something greater than the water in the well. Living water. A spring that becomes eternal life within the soul.By the end of the encounter, the woman leaves her water jar behind and runs back to her town to tell others about the man who knew everything about her and still invited her closer.This Gospel reveals something profound about the heart of Christ. The Bridegroom is searching for the thirsty. The same God who asked for water at the well would later cry out from the cross, “I thirst.”Mass Prep for the Mystic Heart is a weekly reflection on the Sunday Gospel, helping you approach the liturgy with deeper spiritual insight and contemplative attention.
