Working for God. Jesus healing from 20+ miles away

Who were Samaritans? Does God have a preferred race or gender? What is worshiping in spirit and truth?

Jesus shows us how to overcome the barriers to sharing Christ with others.

2022.10.02 Beloved, Let Us Love One Another | I John 4:7-21 | John Wood by EP Church Annapolis

Guest preacher Jason Phillips

Seminary Chapel Jesus and Our Insatiable Thirst The purpose of this brief series of homilies on the Woman at the Well is to help us move beyond thinking about Jesus' encounter with a Samaritan woman who had a difficult time with relationships, to consider our own deep thirst for something more. This is striking because we're supposed to know the Jesus is the living water, and yet we continue to search for something more… Scripture: John 4:27-30, 39-42 The way John writes the gospel, “Just then” the disciples return to encounter this amazingly profound declaration about Jesus as the Messiah, and their response is to be concerned that he is talking to a woman. (??!!??) Like the worship wars this preoccupation with social norms helps us stay distracted from God's argument with us – that we keep trying to satisfy our thirst with things other than the Messiah who knows us. The core of the woman's testimony to Jesus' messianic status was that he told her everything she had done. We can only be saved by the only one who really knows us and is dying to love us.

As we continue our God Revealed Series we took time to look at Jesus's second sign. We saw that people's belief in Jesus is often a process of believing and then believing more...until we see Him face to face.

Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John 2 (although Jesus himself did not baptize, but only his disciples), 3 he left Judea and departed again for Galilee. 4 And he had to pass through Samaria. 5 So he came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the field that Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob’s well was there; so Jesus, wearied as he was from his journey, was sitting beside the well. It was about the sixth hour.[a] […] The post John 4 (part 1) – Jesus and the Samaritan woman appeared first on Disciples Church.

Do you ever feel “unusual?” You're not alone. On this Friends' Day, we continue our study of John's gospel in the series titled, “Come and See.” Tim helps us see the unusual nature of Jesus' character; His unusual interaction with the Samaritan woman; and the unusual gift of Living Water available to us — no matter how unusual we are.

Seminary Chapel Jesus and Our Insatiable Thirst The purpose of this brief series of homilies on the Woman at the Well is to help us move beyond thinking about Jesus' encounter with a Samaritan woman who had a difficult time with relationships, to consider our own deep thirst for something more. This is striking because we're supposed to know the Jesus is the living water, and yet we continue to search for something more… Scripture: John 4:19-26 When Jesus gets too close to the thirsty woman's soul, she quickly changes the subject by bringing up what is the equivalent of the ancient worship wars. Jesus stays with this distraction and uses it as an opportunity to provide profound theology about worshiping in spirit and truth. And then returns to presenting himself as Messiah. Worshiping in spirit and truth can only be understood in the context of living water for our insatiable thirst.

As we continue our God Revealed Series this week we take a look at the conversation Jesus has with a woman at a well in Samaria. She was dismissed socially, despised religiously, and dishonored communally. But Jesus lovingly pursued her and showed her how to quench her hearts deepest thirst. It is a beautiful story.

Today we look at a couple of stories around the controversial topic of supernatural healing.  We see Jesus meeting human beings where they are at.  He pushes against legalism and challenges the way we think of sharing the gospel and conducting religion.

When the woman at the well encountered Jesus she had to share Him. Jesus was attractive to these "outcasts" and wanted to hear what He had to say. They quickly become believers.  This should make us pause, if we are sharing Jesus correctly, shouldn't people be interested, hungry and thirsty? Did we meet Jesus in kindness, grace, and love or harsh demands?   For human flourishing we need to attend to our mind, body, spirit and heart. In this example Jesus talks about feeding our Spirit by being attuned and connected to the Father. When we live out the good works God has called us into, we can feel full. We talk about the balance between serving and saying yes, but also when we need to take a break. Balance is missing in the dialogue of our world, and we need to find the healthy balance and rhythms of life.   Available On: Amazon https://amzn.to/3AWU3MW Google https://bit.ly/3AL9arG Spotify https://spoti.fi/3Q5FfQm Apple https://apple.co/3KzvUiJ Pandora https://bit.ly/3wXq3hK Pod Bean https://bit.ly/3ejgLWJ   Donate to help create more episodes, faster: Support Me on Patreon:  https://patreon.com Support Me on my website: https://bit.ly/3CYuuww Get Social: Join the conversation on Twitter: https://twitter.com/KnowingJesusPOD Join the conversation on Facebook: Knowing Jesus Podcast   #podcast #Christianity #Jesus #Christian #Love #Faith #Bible #BibleReadingPlan #AudioBible #BibleCommentary

The New Testament: The Gospel According to John (KJV)

Morning: Psalm 119:18; Psalm 139:17–18; Matthew 11:25–26; Matthew 13:11; Luke 24:45; Romans 11:33–34; Romans 11:36; 1 Corinthians 2:12 Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law. Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.—“To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.”—“I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will.”—Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God.—How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I would count them, they are more than the sand.— Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! “For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?”… For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen. Psalm 119:18 (Listen) 18   Open my eyes, that I may behold    wondrous things out of your law. (ESV) Psalm 139:17–18 (Listen) 17   How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!    How vast is the sum of them!18   If I would count them, they are more than the sand.    I awake, and I am still with you. (ESV) Matthew 11:25–26 (Listen) Come to Me, and I Will Give You Rest 25 At that time Jesus declared, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; 26 yes, Father, for such was your gracious will.1 Footnotes [1] 11:26 Or for so it pleased you well (ESV) Matthew 13:11 (Listen) 11 And he answered them, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. (ESV) Luke 24:45 (Listen) 45 Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, (ESV) Romans 11:33–34 (Listen) 33 Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! 34   “For who has known the mind of the Lord,    or who has been his counselor?” (ESV) Romans 11:36 (Listen) 36 For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen. (ESV) 1 Corinthians 2:12 (Listen) 12 Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. (ESV) Evening: Judges 15:19; Malachi 3:10; Luke 11:9; Luke 11:13; John 4:10; John 7:37; John 7:39; Romans 8:15; Galatians 4:6 En-hakkore [the spring of him who called]. “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.”—“If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.”… Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive. “Thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need.”—“If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”—“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find.” Because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!”—You did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” Judges 15:19 (Listen) 19 And God split open the hollow place that is at Lehi, and water came out from it. And when he drank, his spirit returned, and he revived. Therefore the name of it was called En-hakkore;1 it is at Lehi to this day. Footnotes [1] 15:19 En-hakkore means the spring of him who called (ESV) Malachi 3:10 (Listen) 10 Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the LORD of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need. (ESV) Luke 11:9 (Listen) 9 And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. (ESV) Luke 11:13 (Listen) 13 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” (ESV) John 4:10 (Listen) 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.” (ESV) John 7:37 (Listen) Rivers of Living Water 37 On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. (ESV) John 7:39 (Listen) 39 Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. (ESV) Romans 8:15 (Listen) 15 For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” (ESV) Galatians 4:6 (Listen) 6 And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” (ESV)

Growing Faith: Healing the Nobleman's Son John 4:43-54 Introduction: Anyone and everyone who calls themselves a Christian would admit to having faith.

Seminary Chapel Jesus and Our Insatiable Thirst The purpose of this brief series of homilies on the Woman at the Well is to help us move beyond thinking about Jesus' encounter with a Samaritan woman who had a difficult time with relationships, to consider our own deep thirst for something more. This is striking because we're supposed to know the Jesus is the living water, and yet we continue to search for something more… Scripture: John 4:1-6 It is striking that Jesus leaves Judea and heads to Galilee because the word is out that he is responsible for more baptisms than John the Baptist. Most of us don't leave our work because we are just too successful at it. But Jesus refused to allow others to set his mission. (See vs. 34.) It is also striking that on the way back to Galilee he “had to” pass through Samaria, where the righteous Jews avoided going. But going to the unrighteous is the work of the Righteous One. It is also striking that Jesus stops at a well because he is tired. Can the Savior get tired?

9/11/22 | Pastor Justin Bindel preaches on John 4:16-26.

Old Testament: Proverbs 3–4 Proverbs 3–4 (Listen) Trust in the Lord with All Your Heart 3   My son, do not forget my teaching,    but let your heart keep my commandments,2   for length of days and years of life    and peace they will add to you. 3   Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you;    bind them around your neck;    write them on the tablet of your heart.4   So you will find favor and good success1    in the sight of God and man. 5   Trust in the LORD with all your heart,    and do not lean on your own understanding.6   In all your ways acknowledge him,    and he will make straight your paths.7   Be not wise in your own eyes;    fear the LORD, and turn away from evil.8   It will be healing to your flesh2    and refreshment3 to your bones. 9   Honor the LORD with your wealth    and with the firstfruits of all your produce;10   then your barns will be filled with plenty,    and your vats will be bursting with wine. 11   My son, do not despise the LORD's discipline    or be weary of his reproof,12   for the LORD reproves him whom he loves,    as a father the son in whom he delights. Blessed Is the One Who Finds Wisdom 13   Blessed is the one who finds wisdom,    and the one who gets understanding,14   for the gain from her is better than gain from silver    and her profit better than gold.15   She is more precious than jewels,    and nothing you desire can compare with her.16   Long life is in her right hand;    in her left hand are riches and honor.17   Her ways are ways of pleasantness,    and all her paths are peace.18   She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her;    those who hold her fast are called blessed. 19   The LORD by wisdom founded the earth;    by understanding he established the heavens;20   by his knowledge the deeps broke open,    and the clouds drop down the dew. 21   My son, do not lose sight of these—    keep sound wisdom and discretion,22   and they will be life for your soul    and adornment for your neck.23   Then you will walk on your way securely,    and your foot will not stumble.24   If you lie down, you will not be afraid;    when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.25   Do not be afraid of sudden terror    or of the ruin4 of the wicked, when it comes,26   for the LORD will be your confidence    and will keep your foot from being caught.27   Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due,5    when it is in your power to do it. 28   Do not say to your neighbor, “Go, and come again,    tomorrow I will give it”—when you have it with you.29   Do not plan evil against your neighbor,    who dwells trustingly beside you.30   Do not contend with a man for no reason,    when he has done you no harm.31   Do not envy a man of violence    and do not choose any of his ways,32   for the devious person is an abomination to the LORD,    but the upright are in his confidence.33   The LORD's curse is on the house of the wicked,    but he blesses the dwelling of the righteous.34   Toward the scorners he is scornful,    but to the humble he gives favor.635   The wise will inherit honor,    but fools get7 disgrace. A Father's Wise Instruction 4   Hear, O sons, a father's instruction,    and be attentive, that you may gain8 insight,2   for I give you good precepts;    do not forsake my teaching.3   When I was a son with my father,    tender, the only one in the sight of my mother,4   he taught me and said to me,  “Let your heart hold fast my words;    keep my commandments, and live.5   Get wisdom; get insight;    do not forget, and do not turn away from the words of my mouth.6   Do not forsake her, and she will keep you;    love her, and she will guard you.7   The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom,    and whatever you get, get insight.8   Prize her highly, and she will exalt you;    she will honor you if you embrace her.9   She will place on your head a graceful garland;    she will bestow on you a beautiful crown.” 10   Hear, my son, and accept my words,    that the years of your life may be many.11   I have taught you the way of wisdom;    I have led you in the paths of uprightness.12   When you walk, your step will not be hampered,    and if you run, you will not stumble.13   Keep hold of instruction; do not let go;    guard her, for she is your life.14   Do not enter the path of the wicked,    and do not walk in the way of the evil.15   Avoid it; do not go on it;    turn away from it and pass on.16   For they cannot sleep unless they have done wrong;    they are robbed of sleep unless they have made someone stumble.17   For they eat the bread of wickedness    and drink the wine of violence.18   But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn,    which shines brighter and brighter until full day.19   The way of the wicked is like deep darkness;    they do not know over what they stumble. 20   My son, be attentive to my words;    incline your ear to my sayings.21   Let them not escape from your sight;    keep them within your heart.22   For they are life to those who find them,    and healing to all their9 flesh.23   Keep your heart with all vigilance,    for from it flow the springs of life.24   Put away from you crooked speech,    and put devious talk far from you.25   Let your eyes look directly forward,    and your gaze be straight before you.26   Ponder10 the path of your feet;    then all your ways will be sure.27   Do not swerve to the right or to the left;    turn your foot away from evil.

(ESV) New Testament: John 4 John 4 (Listen) Jesus and the Woman of Samaria 4 Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John 2 (although Jesus himself did not baptize, but only his disciples), 3 he left Judea and departed again for Galilee. 4 And he had to pass through Samaria. 5 So he came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the field that Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob's well was there; so Jesus, wearied as he was from his journey, was sitting beside the well. It was about the sixth hour.1 7 A woman from 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 The Samaritan woman said to him, “How is it that you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a woman of Samaria?” (For Jews have no dealings 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 nothing to draw water with, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water? 12 Are you greater than our father Jacob? He gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his livestock.” 13 Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again.2 The water that I will 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, so that I will not be thirsty or have to come here to draw water.” 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. 20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.” 21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. 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 is seeking such people 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 (he who is called Christ). When he comes, he will tell us all things.” 26 Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am he.” 27 Just then his disciples came back. They marveled that he was talking with a woman, but no one said, “What do you seek?” or, “Why are you talking with her?” 28 So the woman left her water jar and went away into town and said to the people, 29 “Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?” 30 They went out of the town and were coming to him. 31 Meanwhile the disciples were urging him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.” 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, “Has anyone brought him something to eat?” 34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work. 35 Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest'? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest. 36 Already the one who reaps is receiving wages and 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 town believed in him because of the woman's testimony, “He told me all that I ever did.” 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 indeed the Savior of the world.” 43 After the two days he departed for Galilee. 44 (For Jesus himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.) 45 So when he came to Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, having seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the feast. For they too had gone to the feast. Jesus Heals an Official's Son 46 So he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And at Capernaum there was an official whose son was ill. 47 When this man heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went to him and asked him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. 48 So Jesus said to him, “Unless you3 see signs and wonders you will not believe.” 49 The official said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.” 50 Jesus said to him, “Go; your son will live.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and went on his way. 51 As he was going down, his servants4 met him and told him that his son was recovering. 52 So he asked them the hour when he began to get better, and they said to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour5 the fever left him.” 53 The father knew that was the hour when Jesus had said to him, “Your son will live.” And he himself believed, and all his household. 54 This was now the second sign that Jesus did when he had come from Judea to Galilee.
