Podcasts about John 4

John 4:7-147 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?” 8 (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.) 9 The Samaritan woman said to him, “You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?” (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.[a])10 Jesus answered her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.”11 “Sir,” the woman said, “you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?”13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

ESV 16 Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here." 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 now have is not your husband. What you have said is true." 19 The woman said to him, "Sir, I perceive that you are a prophet.

878 We Know What We Worship, A Guided Christian Meditation on John 4:20-23 with the Recenter With Christ app The purpose of this podcast is to help you find more peace in  and connect with the true source of peace, Jesus Christ.  Outline: Relaxation, Reading, Meditation, Prayer, Contemplation and Visualization.  You can sit comfortably and uninterrupted for about 20 minutes.You should hopefully not be driving or anything tense or unrelaxing.  If you feel comfortable doing so, I invite you to close your eyes.   Guided Relaxation / Guided Meditation:   Breathe and direct your thoughts to connecting with God. Let your stomach be a balloon inflate,  deflate. Scripture for Meditation John 4 NABRE 19 The woman said to him, "Sir, I can see that you are a prophet. 20 Our ancestors worshiped on this mountain; but you people say that the place to worship is in Jerusalem." 21 Jesus said to her, "Believe me, woman, the hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You people worship what you do not understand; we worship what we understand, because salvation is from the Jews. 23 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. NASB 19 The woman *said to Him, "Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and yet you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where one must worship." 21 Jesus *said to her, "Believe Me, woman, that a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. 22 You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, because salvation is from the Jews. 23 But a time is coming, and even now has arrived, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. Reflection on Scripture: God has chosen you as one of His worshipers. Jesus taught the true worship. It is to know God the Father and Jesus Christ. When Jesus said Salvation is from the Jews, that is not because the Jews had the capacity to create something that would save them. It meant that God had chosen His people, and Jesus was born of that lineage. Salvation is not man made. Salvation is not found on a mountain, and although the Temple was directed by God, the temple did not generate salvation. Salvation has always come from God alone. From time to time, God has asked us to do things and yet our salvation has never come from those things that God asked us. It comes from living in unison with God's spirit. Even according to the much harsher law of Moses, redemption was found by seeking it from God alone, through the means God commanded.  We live according to what Jesus said here. To worship God in spirit. If we do worship incorrectly we can get caught up in the physical details. Perhaps even intellectual elements of worship. Worship should be done in spirit. Even when I use the word worship, perhaps some consider only music. Although music is a valuable means of connecting with, and experiencing the still small voice of the Spirit, it is not the whole definition of the meaning of Worship.  We should seek to venerate and worship God in every way. Every action, every drink of water can be worship to God if done in the right spirit. On this day I invite you to make every thought and action an act of worship to the Lord our God.  Meditation of Prayer: Pray as directed by the Spirit. Dedicate these moments to the patient waiting, when you feel ready ask God for understanding you desire from Him. Meditation of God and His Glory / Hesychasm: I invite you to sit in silence feeling patient for your own faults and trials.

Summer interruptions, travel, gatherings, and ordinary conversations can become unexpected opportunities to encounter Jesus and share his good news. In John 4, Jesus shows us that what we might sometimes see as inconveniences could actually be divine appointments. As we learn to see interruptions through the eyes of Jesus, the Holy Spirit can transform everyday moments into opportunities for mission.

RSV 13 Jesus said to her, "Every one who drinks of this water will thirst again, 14 but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst; the water that I shall give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." 15 The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw."

Evangelism is often associated with fear, pressure, or obligation, but what if it was never meant to be that way? This week, we'll look at Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman in John 4 and discover that the most effective evangelism flows from a life deeply rooted in relationship with Him. As we drink from the Living Water, God's love naturally overflows into the lives of others. Together, we'll explore how prayer, intimacy with Christ, and the other spiritual practices shape us into people who faithfully share the hope of the gospel—not out of obligation, but out of overflow.

What if the stories you've been told about yourself aren't the whole story? In this episode of Perspectives Podcast, Rev. Hannah and licensed marriage and family therapist Sheilah Cameron, LMFT, explore the Samaritan woman at the well (John 4) and what it teaches us about shame, identity, worth, and belonging. Drawing on both Scripture and therapeutic insight, this conversation explores how shame, exclusion, and internalized beliefs affect our mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. And how Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman offers a picture of being fully known without being shamed. This is Episode 5 of our five-part series, Taking Care of Mind, Body, and Spirit, featuring the female pastors of First United Methodist Church of San Diego and Sheilah Cameron, Director of New Life Counseling Center. Inspired by John 4:7-19 and 27-29, the episode includes: Why the Samaritan woman’s story continues to resonate today How shame becomes a part of our internal narrative The connection between trauma, belonging, and identity Why compassion is more transformative than judgment Healing through safe relationships and authentic connection Releasing identities built around shame and survival Practicing vulnerability with ourselves, others, and the Sacred Finding a deeper sense of worth beyond labels and expectations What the story in John 4 offers people seeking healing today Reflection Questions: What labels have you carried for so long that you've mistaken them for your identity? Are you spending more energy protecting your reputation than nurturing your identity? What would change if you truly believed you are fully known and fully loved?

Welcome to the 6th sermon in our series looking at personal encounters with Jesus as recorded in the gospel of John. The idea that God would become a human and “dwell among us” is an astounding thought. The God of the Bible did not remain hidden or removed or indifferent, He actually wrote Himself into the story and became one of His creation!? And when Jesus walked among us, He did not come as a king or a warrior or a leader, He came as a servant. He walked and talked and met with very real people in very real circumstances.  This summer at Refuge, we are going through the Gospel of John and meeting Jesus in these encounters with all kinds of people. We don't just want to know our opinions about Jesus, we want to know who He really was and how He interacted with people so that we can come to know Him better.

Usually we refer to Jesus' healings as miracles, but in the fourth Gospel, John calls them "signs." Just as a sign points to something else, so Jesus' miracles point to the truth of who He is. In this message on John 4:43-54, Tim Cedarland, Thrive's director emeritus, unfolds Jesus' second sign, while also surveying what we learn about Jesus from all seven signs recorded in John's Gospel.

Obedience Brings Blessings!John 4:27–38 | Comfort | Harvest | SowIn John 4:27–38, Jesus challenges His disciples to look beyond their immediate comforts and embrace the work of God's kingdom. While they are concerned about food, Jesus reveals that His true satisfaction comes from doing the Father's will. He then invites them to lift their eyes and see a harvest that is already ripe—a reminder that God is always at work, preparing hearts to receive the gospel.In this episode, we examine the tension between choosing comfort and embracing God's calling. Jesus teaches that faithful disciples are willing to sow seeds of truth, love, and hope, trusting God to bring the harvest in His perfect timing. Whether we are planting, watering, or reaping, every act of obedience has eternal value.Key Themes: Choosing God's mission over personal comfort  Seeing the harvest through Jesus' eyes  Faithfully sowing seeds of the gospel  Trusting God for the increase  Finding fulfillment in doing the Father's will Join us as we discover how God calls us to move beyond comfort, faithfully sow into the lives of others, and participate in the joyful harvest He is bringing to completion.Support the showPRAISE GOD! ✝︎Seek And Find Tv on YouTubeSeek And Find Tv on Carbon TvSponsors:Coffman Outdoors: E BikesBearded Outdoors USA:Beard Care ProductsNEW "In The Cabin" scent out now!OFB Veteran Fundraising BanquetInfo and Tickets to eventFREE Beard Care for veterans

While traveling and teaching, Jesus visits Samaria, a region that the Jews intentionally avoided at all costs. Remember, in the history of Israel, there was a time when Israel split from Judah and tried to establish a center of rule and worship outside of Jerusalem; that location is Samaria. Though it would have been taboo in Jewish culture to do so, Jesus speaks to a woman there and asks her for a drink. This is not the only surprising incident in this interaction, as Jesus reveals his divine knowledge and his identity as the promised Messiah. Later, Jesus performs a long-distance miracle and heals the son of a local official from miles away. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

This week at Oaks, Britton walks us through John 4:46-54, where Jesus performs His second sign. We see through Jesus miracle that faith proceeded provision, and Jesus has the ability to change our lives even though He is not physically with us.

John 4 NIV 10 Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water." 11 "Sir," the woman said, "you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?"

874 Give Me This Water, A Guided Christian Meditation on John 4:13-15 with the Recenter With Christ app The purpose of this podcast is to help you find more peace in  and connect with the true source of peace, Jesus Christ.  Outline: Relaxation, Reading, Meditation, Prayer, Contemplation and Visualization.  You can sit comfortably and uninterrupted for about 20 minutes.You should hopefully not be driving or anything tense or unrelaxing.  If you feel comfortable doing so, I invite you to close your eyes.   Guided Relaxation / Guided Meditation:   Breathe and direct your thoughts to connecting with God. Let your stomach be a balloon inflate,  deflate. Scripture for Meditation John 4 RSV 13 Jesus said to her, "Every one who drinks of this water will thirst again, 14 but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst; the water that I shall give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." 15 The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw." NET 13 Jesus replied, "Everyone who drinks some of this water will be thirsty again. 14 But whoever drinks some of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again, but the water that I will give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up to eternal life." 15 The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I will not be thirsty or have to come here to draw water." Reflection on Scripture: I love this passage because it reminds us of powerful truths. It is perfectly expected that we ask God for his life-giving water. It is hard to know the intentionality of this woman. Was she being cynical and unconvinced or had she already sensed Jesus' divinity? I tend to see her as still being suspicious and yet that did not deter God's saving power. God is pursuing you. As we ponder our freedom, as we ponder the ability we have to petition the Lord, Praise be to God that he has blessed us with freedom, if not from every single worldly government, at least freedom to petition Him directly.  As we ponder the gift that Jesus gives us, I hope that inspires within each of us a profound gratitude that such a petition is even possible. In Christianity we can oftentimes become overly presumptive that of course God offers this salvation. It is not a foregone conclusion and is a profound blessing for which we should never cease to give thanks. I thank God for religious freedom. I thank God that so many people have such freedom and I pray strongly that each person will be able to have the freedom to follow God as the spirit leads them.   Since God has already offered salvation, I profoundly desire each person on earth to have the freedom they require to be exposed to God's word, and the disposition to be able to embrace the saving words of Jesus. Each one of us are thirsty. We are desperate for the water of Christ. We NEED his salvation and it is a life giving water that can quench our thirst forever. I am so grateful God has found us in a desert of sin and chose to give us cool and refreshing water.  Meditation of Prayer: Pray as directed by the Spirit. Dedicate these moments to the patient waiting, when you feel ready ask God for understanding you desire from Him.

Sex is one of the most talked about—and misunderstood—topics in our culture. Too often, it's treated as either a god to be worshiped or something shameful to avoid. But Scripture offers a better way. In this week's message from 1 Corinthians 7 and Genesis 2, Pastor Jordan shows us that sex is neither God nor gross—it is a gift. When we embrace God's design for intimacy within covenant marriage, we discover that his commands aren't meant to restrict our joy, but to deepen it and ultimately point us back to the goodness of the God who loves us.

Obedience Brings Blessings!John 4:1–26 | Assignment | Living Water | WorshipIn John 4:1–26, Jesus doesn't simply pass through Samaria—He has a divine assignment. At Jacob's well, He meets a Samaritan woman whose life is marked by brokenness, and He offers her something no earthly well could provide: living water. Their conversation reveals God's heart to seek the lost, extend grace, and invite everyone into a life-changing relationship with Him.In this episode, Reese and Amber Richards explore how Jesus faithfully fulfilled His Father's assignment, how His offer of living water satisfies the deepest needs of the soul, and what it means to worship the Father in spirit and truth. We'll see that God often works through unexpected places and unlikely people to accomplish His purposes.Key Themes: Jesus' divine assignment in Samaria  The gift of living water  Worship in spirit and truth  God's grace for every person  Finding purpose through obedience to God's calling Join us as we unpack this powerful encounter and discover how Jesus' mission in Samaria speaks to our own calling to trust God's assignments, receive His living water, and worship Him in Freedom with our whole hearts.Support the showPRAISE GOD! ✝︎Seek And Find Tv on YouTubeSeek And Find Tv on Carbon TvSponsors:Coffman Outdoors: E BikesBearded Outdoors USA:Beard Care ProductsNEW "In The Cabin" scent out now!OFB Veteran Fundraising BanquetInfo and Tickets to eventFREE Beard Care for veterans

Download Teaching Audio The post John 4:16-30 – “Woman of Samaria Part II” first appeared on Cedarcreek Community Church.

Few things are more frustrating than unwanted advice. Sometimes people need correction, but often they simply need someone willing to listen. Today, Pastor Richard points out to you that Jesus modeled that balance perfectly. He was never pushy or harsh, yet He never avoided the truth about who He was. His example teaches you to speak truth with both clarity and compassion to those around you.

NET 5 Now he came to a Samaritan town called Sychar, near the plot of land that Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob's well was there, so Jesus, since he was tired from the journey, sat right down beside the well. It was about noon. 7 A Samaritan woman came to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give me some water to drink." 8 (For his disciples had gone off into the town to buy supplies.) 9 So the Samaritan woman said to him, "How can you—a Jew—ask me, a Samaritan woman, for water to drink?" (For Jews use nothing in common with Samaritans.)

Scripture for Meditation John 4 NIV 10 Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water." 11 "Sir," the woman said, "you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his livestock?" NASB 10 Jesus replied to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who is saying to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water." 11 She *said to Him, "Sir, You have no bucket and the well is deep; where then do You get this living water? 12 You are not greater than our father Jacob, are You, who gave us the well and drank of it himself, and his sons and his cattle?" Reflection on Scripture: If you knew the gift of God. I think we truly don't understand the full breadth of the gift of God. This is even more true for those who are early in their faith walk. I spoke to someone today who really struggled with strong negative feelings about herself. I spent quite a bit of time talking with her about what scripture shows about God's love. Scripture is clear how each of us are profoundly flawed, yet it is equally full of references to the love of God. As we get to know who Jesus is it allows us to set aside our fears.  The woman in this story had so much to be ashamed of. She had no reason to assume that Jesus would show up and represent the very presence of God and His love. She had no understanding of what the gift of God would be. She had no expectation that she could ask Him for living water, or eternal mercy. Just as the person I talked to struggled with a similar problem. Both of these women came to learn of this gift, The grace of God, and they were profoundly changed by deeper understanding of Jesus. The beautiful thing is that we are able to get to know Jesus more and more as life goes on. You are continually learning about the gift that Jesus speaks about.  When Jesus offers you more understanding of His gift, do not respond with skepticism or doubt. When you experience troubles, isolation, fear, or anger in life, this may be an offer to truly get to know Jesus. If you rely on what you think you know about God it might get in the way of who God really is. That was the case for the woman at the well. Her isolation and life of sin opened hear heart enough to rejoice when she finally met Jesus. She accepted his proclamation as the Messiah and as a result she received eternal salvation. How well do you know the gift of God Meditation of Prayer: Pray as directed by the Spirit. Dedicate these moments to the patient waiting, when you feel ready ask God for understanding you desire from Him.

20 Proverbs 18-19; 1 Kings 7-10; 19 Psalms 111-118; 43 John 4-6

This episode originally aired on April 4, 2022. We've learned more about Jesus in John 4:1-6:15, but if we don't do something with it, then it hasn't really been helpful information. Ken and Mike discuss different ways that will help you put into practice what we've been learning about and from Jesus. This includes how to handle social and cultural boundaries; our motivation for obedience; and how we allow God to work through us. The discussion is practical and offers tangible ways for someone to start implementing these practices into their life today.Support the show

870 A Samaritan Woman Came to Draw Water, A Guided Christian Meditation on John 4:5-9 with the Recenter With Christ app The purpose of this podcast is to help you find more peace in  and connect with the true source of peace, Jesus Christ.  Outline: Relaxation, Reading, Meditation, Prayer, Contemplation and Visualization.  You can sit comfortably and uninterrupted for about 20 minutes.You should hopefully not be driving or anything tense or unrelaxing.  If you feel comfortable to do so, I invite you to close your eyes.   Guided Relaxation / Guided Meditation:   Breathe and direct your thoughts to connecting with God. Let your stomach be a balloon inflate,  deflate. Scripture for Meditation John 4 NET 5 Now he came to a Samaritan town called Sychar, near the plot of land that Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob's well was there, so Jesus, since he was tired from the journey, sat right down beside the well. It was about noon. 7 A Samaritan woman came to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give me some water to drink." 8 (For his disciples had gone off into the town to buy supplies.) 9 So the Samaritan woman said to him, "How can you—a Jew—ask me, a Samaritan woman, for water to drink?" (For Jews use nothing in common with Samaritans.) NKJV 5 So He came to a city of Samaria which is called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. 6 Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied from His journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour. 7 A woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give Me a drink." 8 For His disciples had gone away into the city to buy food. 9 Then the woman of Samaria said to Him, "How is it that You, being a Jew, ask a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans. Reflection on Scripture: I love this story. It is the moment Jesus reveals himself at Jacob's well, literally Israel's well and yet it is not in the country of the Jews. This leads to interesting questions like who were the Samaritans and why do they show up in the New Testament? I think it is meaningful to ponder these questions for a moment. The Samaritans had a meaningful history. Through the whole Bible we see God's interaction with people that he has called His. God called the people of Jacob as his people. Jacob's name was changed to Israel and he had sons that formed large tribes. After Solomon the tribes split into two parts. The Southern Kingdom which was mostly the Tribes of Judah and Benjamin and the Northern kingdoms representing the other tribes. The northern tribes fell to the Assyrians and interbred with the pagan nations that surrounded. As a result they adopted different habits and theology and for this they did not get along with the Jews well.  So this is why the well of Jacob is among the Samaritans and additionally why Jesus would be near the lands of the Samaritans. They had been Israelites in the past. Jesus chose to reveal that he was the Messiah at this well. He did not choose Jerusalem. He did not go to the Pharisees. He chose those who were rejected, not those who thought themselves very important. We will talk more about the choice of this woman in the future but for now it is important to reflect on God's choice of the Samaritans.  Each of us are, in a form, outsiders to God. We are His children, yet we have acted in a way inconsistent with His perfection. He is able ot use the imperfect to do His work. In fact, imperfect people are all God has ever had to work with. You are enough for God to love and for Him to accept. His grace is sufficient for you.   Meditation of Prayer: Pray as directed by the Spirit.

2026-06-14 -John 4 -"Welcome to the Well" -Troy Hauxwell by Imperial Berean

Tonight we journey through 2 Samuel 3–4 and John 4, where God's purposes move forward despite human conflict, ambition, and brokenness. As David's kingdom is established amid betrayal and political turmoil, Jesus meets a Samaritan woman at a well and reveals Himself as the source of living water. These chapters remind us that while people often act from selfish motives, God is faithfully working out His redemptive plan, offering grace, truth, and new life to all who will come to Him in faith.Connect with us on social:Telegram: @beholdisraelchannelInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/amir.tsarfati/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/beholdisrael/X: https://x.com/beholdisraelYouTube: https://youtube.com/@beholdisrael

868 He Had To Pass Through Samaria, A Guided Christian Meditation on John 4:1-4 with the Recenter With Christ app The purpose of this podcast is to help you find more peace in  and connect with the true source of peace, Jesus Christ.  Outline: Relaxation, Reading, Meditation, Prayer, Contemplation and Visualization.  You can sit comfortably and uninterrupted for about 20 minutes.You should hopefully not be driving or anything tense or unrelaxing.  If you feel comfortable to do so, I invite you to close your eyes.   Guided Relaxation / Guided Meditation:   Breathe and direct your thoughts to connecting with God.

Scripture for Meditation John 4 KJV 4 When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John, 2 (Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,) 3 He left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee. 4 And he must needs go through Samaria. NASB 4 So then, when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that He was making and baptizing more disciples than John 2 (although Jesus Himself was not baptizing; rather, His disciples were), 3 He left Judea and went away again to Galilee. 4 And He had to pass through Samaria Reflection on Scripture: I find the framing of this chapter interesting. Because the Pharisees knew Jesus had gained many disciples it seems he was forced to leave and additionally forced to travel through Samaria, which we will explore in coming weeks. This is an interesting way to phrase it and it can give an interesting idea for what was an imperative for Jesus. In the strictest sense Jesus did not have to do anything. Jehovah did not have to create the universe or anything else after that. These things are consistent with God's character and therefore God chooses them. The only way that God would not choose those things is if he did not have his current character. With that said none of that makes it a foregone conclusion for what God has to do. Perhaps this is very obvious but it is worth pondering on for a moment.  God is certainly able to determine His guiding ethics and it is far above human understanding to tell God what he has to do. It is something of a ridiculous notion that the Pharisees could force Jesus to do anything. Even when he was on the cusp of being sent to death, Jesus told Peter he could have called down legions of angels to do His bidding and chose not to. There is literally nothing that the Pharisees could have done, that you could do, that I could do, that would force God to do something that He didn't already determine that He should do.  With that said, once God determines to do something, he lays out a plan on what is needed for that to happen, and then he does it. Before the foundation of the earth God determined that Jesus would come to save us all. So when this moment arrived Jesus planned to go to Samaria and talk to the woman at the well. To make that happen he traveled through Samaria consistent with His intent and as such he HAD to go through Samaria. Just as God has executed His actions through all history he continues to do the same for you in yoru life right now. He has given you the exact life you need, to be challenged sufficiently Meditation of Prayer: Pray as directed by the Spirit.
