"What's the significance of Jesus offering living water to a Samaritan women in the context of redemptive history? John 5 centers on healing and judgment—and Jesus claims authority to give life and execute judgment. How do Jesus' claims develop John's theology of who Jesus is? What's the significance of the miracle-sign pairing of feeding the 5,000, and how does it help us read John's Gospel rightly? In today's episode, Emma Dotter and Watermark member, Alfred Abraham talk about John 7-9 and answer these questions.

Look, it's harvest time. Where we live in Minnesota, it's impossible to not look at the fields and see its harvest time. My friend Brad says' it's his favorite time of year and his happy place is riding in the combine harvesting fields. I think Jesus likes harvest time too, but His harvest is so much more than corn and beans. Jesus is inviting us into the harvest.Recorded live at Word of Life Church in Le Sueur, Minnesota, on Sunday, October 19, 2025, Pastor Jason Lang preaching.

This message celebrates the power of faith and perseverance, the kind of faith that shows up in everyday moments and turns them into something extraordinary. Through powerful stories from Scripture and sports, Pastor Alex invites us to face our doubts, hold fast to hope, and trust in the God who still works miracles today. If you're looking for encouragement or a reminder that God is present and active even when life feels uncertain, this episode will lift your heart and renew your belief that nothing is impossible with Him.
In John 4, Jesus meets a Samaritan woman at a well—and everything changes. What starts as a conversation about water turns into a confrontation with truth, identity, and purpose.In this message, we explore how we often want to argue over truth, but Jesus wants to do something deeper: change who we are, so He can shape what we do—starting now.Follow along as we walk through John 4:1–42 in three movements:We want to argue over truthBut in Jesus, God wants to change who we are to mold what we doAnd He wants to do it right nowReflect with us on four key questions:Why me?Why not?How now?Who else?God isn't just offering answers—He's offering living water.
In John 4:31–42, while the disciples were focused on lunch, Jesus was focused on lives. They saw a meal; He saw a mission. He said, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me.”The Samaritan woman dropped her jar, ran to her city, and turned her story into an invitation. She went from shame to a spark that set her community on fire.Jesus shows us that true fulfillment isn't found in consumption, but in completion, in doing what the Father sent us to do. The harvest isn't later, it's now. Your classroom, your workplace, your neighborhood, that's the field.

In this episode, from a chapel service held on Friday 22 August 2025, Mark Thompson, Principal of Moore Theological College, speaks on John 4:43-54 and Jesus' healing of the official's son at Capernaum.He reminds us that seeing is not believing: witnessing the signs that Jesus did does not necessarily lead to a person having faith in him. Instead, hearing Jesus' words and trusting in him is what true faith looks like.For more audio resources, visit the Moore College website.

In this episode, Pastor Alex explores the story of the woman at the well in the Gospel of John and the powerful theme of transformation. Discover how an encounter with Jesus brings real, lasting change that reaches far beyond one life and into entire communities. This message invites you to see how God's grace transforms hearts, renews hope, and makes all things new.
We all have wells we keep returning to, routines that promise refreshment but never really satisfy. The approval from a post. The buzz of success. The comfort of distraction. The woman at the well had her jar, and we all have ours. But in John 4, Jesus sits by Jacob's well to show us something radical: He doesn't want to give you another refill ...He wants to give you a new source!This message explores what happens when routine meets revelation, when religion meets relationship, and when a weary soul finally encounters the Living Water.In this teaching, you'll discover:The Difference Between a Well and a Wellspring: Why God doesn't want you to live on spiritual refills but from an inner flow of His presence.The Illusion of Control: How your “water jar” (your habits, coping mechanisms, and self-sufficiency) can keep you from true transformation.The Power of Repentance: Why dropping the jar isn't about shame but surrender, letting go of what you used to depend on so that you can receive what only God can give.The Shift from Ritual to Relationship: How worship moves from a location to a lifestyle, and how encounter leads to overflow.The woman came to the well thirsty, she left as a wellspring and overflowing with life. That's the invitation for us all: Don't just drink from the well. Become the wellspring. Because Jesus didn't come to fill your jar, He came to replace your source.

20 Proverbs 18-19; 1 Kings 7-10; 19 Psalms 111-118; 43 John 4-6
1 Chronicles 29 outlines the extensive offerings for the temple, that David in gratefulness to God had prepared. And like the Tabernacle those offerings had had come from willing hearts - verse 9 compare Exodus 25:2. David then prays for the Assembly and asks that whatever those assembled had done would be acceptable to the Almighty. Note the similarity between David's prayer and the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6. Also take notice of the deep spirit of humility in which it was offered. Solomon was anointedking for the second time and we need to consider the import of verse 23 "He sat as king upon the throne of Yahweh over Israel". Thus began the kingdom of God on earth in its first constitution. David dies and is buried and let us consider the Apostle Paul's comments on David's faithful service in Acts 13 verses 36-37. Ezekiel 38 speaks of an invasion of the recently regathered and reconstituted nation of Israel (verses 7-8). The chapter speaks of a northern confederacy headed by one termed Gogue - meaning 'roof', or 'one at the top'. Looking at a map of Eurasia we need no imagination to be able to see the nation being spoken about. The leader of this nation is called in the Hebrew tongue prince of Ros, Meshech and Tubal - the ancient names for Russia, Moscow and Tobolski as many lexicographers tell us. In a book by a notable Russian historian (George Vernadsky - he says Ezekiel 38 is the first historical reference to Russia. Note the alliances mentioned and much of this has already transpired. This Eurasian confederacy is opposed by Israel and Arabian countries (verse 13). The principal aggressor comes from the "uttermost parts of the north" (verse 16 RSV). Moscow is directly north of Jerusalem. Verses 17-23 indicate that the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY will come to the aid of His beleaguered people and there will be a great earthquake (see Zechariah 14 and Joel 3 verses 16-21). It will be occasioned by the feet of the Lord Jesus Christ standing on the Mount of Olives. This was promised by the two angels at Jesus' ascension to heaven: Acts 1:1-11 compare with Luke's other record in Luke 24 verses 50-52. John 4 deals with the incident between Jesus and the woman of Samaria in which he offers her "living water". There follows a discussion between Jesus and the woman about the site of acceptable worship - Jerusalem, or Gerazim. Jesus firstly tells her that salvation is from the Jews. Acceptance by God is dependent on two factors sincerity and truth - these have always been the focus at Shechem, and with Joseph and his brothers in Egypt (Joshua 14 verses 14-15; Judges 9 verses 14-15). The woman accepts Jesus as the Christ (Messiah) and she then has an incredible impact on helping the Samaritans to receive Jesus also. Philip would about 7 years later reap the gathering harvest now being sown. That harvest is spoken about in Acts 8. From verse 46 to the end of John chapter 4 our Lord Jesus heals the son of an official from Capernaum - this being the second of the signs recorded by John and resulting in the official and his household believing in the Lord Jesus Christ. That Nobleman is thought by some to be Herod's keeper of the larder ChuzaThanks for joining us - we pray you found these comments helpful in your appreciation of God's words, join again tomorrow
Daily Dose of Hope October 9, 2025 Scripture - John 4:43-54 Prayer: Lord, our Lord, How majestic is your name in all the earth! We magnify your precious and powerful name. How often we forget how mighty you are. You created all. You created us. Thank you, Lord, for who you are. Most of all, thank you for loving us with all our flaws and brokenness. In all we do, in who we are, help us to be more like you. We pray for humility, mercy, and compassion. Help us see others through your eyes. In Your Name, Amen. Welcome to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the Bible reading plan at New Hope Church in Brandon, Florida. We are currently doing a deep dive into the Gospels and Acts. Today, we are finishing up John 4. Today, we read about one of only three healing miracles in the book of John. But in this Gospel, Jesus is careful to call them signs, not miracles, and there is an important distinction. A sign is something that is not only a miracle but it also reveals Jesus' divinity and his mission. They point to who Jesus is as the Son of God and Messiah. Jesus himself functions somewhat like a sign in the book of John. We read in chapter 1 that he was with God in the beginning, he was the Word made flesh, and he makes the invisible God known. John is really unique from the Synoptic Gospels. He very intentionally shares seven specific signs that Jesus performs and each one reveals something about Jesus' identity and why he is here. We already read about Jesus turning the water into wine in Cana, sign #1. Jesus made a tremendous amount of wine and it was the very best at the wedding, showing the amazing abundance of God in Jesus Christ. Now, we have Jesus healing the son of an official, demonstrating his willingness and ability to restore health and life. It's interesting that Jesus ignores the official's first plea and instead kind of talks down to him for his need of signs. Jesus wasn't crazy about turning the water into wine either. Each sign so far has been met with what seems like reluctance or ambivalence. Could it be that Jesus is concerned about how these signs will be interpreted? We know from the other Gospels that signs and miracles often led to Jesus being following by thousands of people. Might they get caught up in the sign and miss the importance of the one who actually allowed the signs to happen? Or maybe Jesus doesn't want people to simply come to him for signs of God's favor. What were God's intentions here? I do find the wording interesting in John. I tend to think of all of these signs as miraculous. Why not call them as such? I'm wondering if God wants us to see past the miracle here. God is present in so many other ways in our lives. Yes, he is present in the miraculous. But he also gives us many, many other signs. God gives us signs, nudges, or strong feelings that indicate he is at work in our lives. He gives us signs about whether or not to take a job, signs about which direction to head in educationally, and signs about how to continue in a relationship. God is always giving us signs, showing us he is right here, pointing us to him. It might not seem miraculous, like water into wine, but it's still real and powerful. Regardless of the sign, God is always trying us to point us toward his love. Whether he is healing a friend, directing us to a certain job, or giving us the words to say to a friend in need, it's always signs pointing us toward his love. He loves us and he wants to be involved in our lives. Is Jesus an everyday presence in your life? What signs does he give you? Blessings, Pastor Vicki
Daily Dose of Hope October 8, 2025 Scripture – John 4:1-42 Prayer: Holy God, You are the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, the one who was and is and is to come. We love you and give you praise. We rejoice in your powerful name. Thank you for how you call each of us. Thank you for how you provide for us and equip us with everything we need. You don't need to use us but you do; you allow us to be part of your work in this world. Thank you, Lord. Help us to see the blessing of serving you. We pray this in your name, Amen. Welcome to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional/podcast that complements the daily Bible reading plan at New Hope Church in Brandon, Florida. We are currently doing a deep dive into the Gospels and Acts which will last through the end of 2025. Today, we begin John 4. This is the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well. Many of you are familiar with this passage and it is an extraordinary one. Let's try to look at it with fresh eyes. There are some really fascinating aspects to this narrative: · Jesus did not have to go through Samaria; he chose to. He was making a statement here. As we have mentioned before, the Jews and Samaritans hated one another. Usually, Jews went the long way around Samaria so they didn't have to be contaminated by the people who they called dogs and half-breeds. Remember, the region of Samaria was once the Northern Kingdom. They set up their own capital and their own temple. After the Assyrians conquered them, many people moved out and others moved in. Thus, the people who lived there during Jesus' day were a mix of cultures and nationalities. · Jesus initiates a conversation with the woman at the well. Jews and Samaritans didn't have conversations. Honestly, men and women didn't have conversations. So many things about this situation were taboo. But Jesus doesn't care about social conventions, he cares about individual people. · The woman was at the well in the middle of the day. That tells us that she was trying to avoid others. It was really, really hot at that time of day. Most women would have drawn water in the cool of the morning. This woman was avoiding the town women because she was probably the focus of their gossip. She had been married many times and she was, at the time, living with a man who wasn't her husband. · We don't know much about this woman, but my guess is that she had a life filled with hardship and trauma. Jesus knew that. He saw her needs and her struggles and he offered her living water. She was open and receptive. · This woman turns out to be one of the best evangelists in the New Testament. She goes and tells the townspeople about this man who knew everything about her life. Remember, these are the people who don't like her but she is boldly sharing about Jesus anyway. Thus, many of the Samaritans believed and became committed to following Jesus. · Jesus is in the business of changing lives and whole communities. And he uses all of us. Our past does not matter to Jesus, only our hearts and desire to change. Blessings, Pastor Vicki

What if your most awkward moments are actually divine appointments?In John 4, Jesus meets a Samaritan woman at a well — at noon — in one of the most uncomfortable, countercultural encounters in all of Scripture. She's got a past, a pattern, and a thirst she can't satisfy. But Jesus doesn't shame her. He meets her. He crosses the cultural, moral, and spiritual lines that divide her from truth — and He does the same for us.This episode explores how God uses awkward encounters to reveal His living water, heal hidden wounds, and invite us into new life. Through the lens of Scripture and history, we'll uncover: • The Power of Divine Awkwardness – How discomfort often signals a divine setup for transformation. • The Five Failed Covenants of Israel – What her five husbands symbolize about humanity's broken promises and God's relentless pursuit. • The Seventh Man — The True Bridegroom – How Jesus completes what history, religion, and relationships could never fulfill. • Repentance as Restoration – Why true repentance isn't about shame, but about turning from wells that run dry to the One who never does.If your soul feels thirsty — if you've been running to temporary wells that can't hold water — this message is your invitation to drop the jar and drink deeply of grace.It's time to stop hiding, stop performing, and stop pretending.Jesus is sitting at the well of your story, waiting to meet you there.

Send me a Text Message!Perhaps the first step to purity is seeking God. As we seek God, we come near to Him, and discover how much He loves us and our hearts begin to burn for Him. In fact to be pure in heart Soren Kierkegaard said is to want one thing, to be undivided. Or we have said it this way, "To be pure in heart is to have an unrestrained affection for God. So let me ask you what is restraining your affection for God? When God comes close, He begins to burn away the junk that is restraining our affection for Him. But don't expect the burning to be entirely comfortable. He is a refiner's fire. It has to happen to prepare the way, prepare our hearts. It's not optional so, so we have to decide, when God comes close, will I let the fire burn?
