Living Water: The Woman at the Well – John 4:1–26 In this episode of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane walk through John 4:1–26, the powerful encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well. What begins as a simple conversation about water becomes a life-changing revelation about worship, identity, and living water that never runs dry. Together, they explore how Jesus meets us in unexpected places, crosses cultural and personal barriers, and speaks directly to our deepest thirst. This passage reminds us that no past is too complicated, no question too bold, and no heart too far for the transforming presence of Christ. If you've ever felt unseen, unqualified, or spiritually dry—this conversation is for you. ____________________________________ 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
Believe in Jesus Messiah and receive the living water of eternal life. Preached on February 22, 2026
In the opening message of our See Jesus series, we look at John 4 and the unexpected introduction of Jesus as the great “I AM.” Instead of revealing Himself to a priest or religious leader, Jesus declares His identity to a Samaritan woman with a complicated past. Through loving “gospel surgery,” He confronts her sin, exposes her thirst, and offers her living water. The Living Water later became thirsty on the cross so that we could be fully satisfied in Him. Are you drinking from wells that cannot satisfy? Come and see Jesus.
In this Commitment Sunday message, Pastor Bobby brings us back to the well in John 4 and reminds us what all of this is really about.Through Jesus' conversation with the woman at the well, we see a Savior who meets people right where they are and offers something deeper than what they came looking for. It's a simple story, but it carries a powerful reminder: when Jesus becomes our source, everything shifts.As we take steps forward in The Oasis Initiative, this message helps ground our hearts. This isn't just about building space — it's about making room for encounters with Christ. We're believing for a church where His life flows freely and where people in our city can truly find Living Water.

Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla for February 20, 2026 reflects on Psalm 46:4–5, revealing the life-giving river that flows through the city of God. After yesterday's focus on chaos and upheaval, this Christ-centered Lutheran devotion highlights the contrast: where God dwells, there is stability, peace, and joy. “There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God” reminds us that God's presence sustains His people even when the world around them is falling apart.This Christian daily devotion points to Jesus, the Living Water, whose presence through Word and Sacraments refreshes, restores, and strengthens the Church. God's help is promised even in the darkest nights, and His presence ensures that His people shall not be moved. Rooted in Scripture and the theology of the cross, this meditation encourages believers to trust in God's abiding presence and the hope of morning that always comes.Support this ministry at

What Is This All For? 12 Even now— this is the Lord's declaration— turn to me with all your heart, with fasting, weeping, and mourning. 13 Tear your hearts, not just your clothes, and return to the Lord your God. For he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, abounding in faithful love, and he relents from sending disaster. 14 Who knows? He may turn and relent and leave a blessing behind him, so you can offer a grain offering and a drink offering to the Lord your God. 15 Blow the trumpet in Zion! Announce a sacred fast; proclaim a solemn assembly. 16 Gather the people; sanctify the congregation; assemble the aged; gather the infants, even babies nursing at the breast. Let the groom leave his bedroom, and the bride her honeymoon chamber. 17 Let the priests, the Lord's ministers, weep between the portico and the altar. Let them say, "Have pity on your people, Lord, and do not make your inheritance a disgrace, an object of scorn among the nations. Why should it be said among the peoples, 'Where is their God?'" 18 Then the Lord became jealous for his land and spared his people. 19 The Lord answered his people: Look, I am about to send you grain, new wine, and fresh oil. You will be satiated with them, and I will no longer make you a disgrace among the nations. Joel 2:12–19 [CSB] What are the ashes drawn in the shape of the cross on our foreheads for? To bring out that mark God already has made on you. When He baptized you into His name...into His Son...on the Cross where He punished Jesus instead of destroying you... Like He destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. Like He did other nations. Like He did Israel. Like He will the whole world. Why? Because we deserve to be!Disaster is right on our doorsteps! You think not? People are sneering...fists raised...yes, they are saying they can do what they want...they are defying God. Hear them? Listen to what is really being said: “Ha! We can do what we like. Watch and see! And we will do it again! So where...where… is your God when I do it to His face? Where is He who calls all that we like to do...all what I want to do...evil…? Where is He to punish what He calls sin?” God says, "From dust you were taken and to dust you will return..." No one escapes death. No one. God will not be mocked. He says that, "The wages of sin is death."That is what God told Adam because of his and his wife's sin. Yes, and to dust the world will be reduced to also... …soon now...maybe here in America sooner than Africa. I don't know. But remember, Nineveh repented. God spared them for several generations—over 200 years I think it was. Pray America... pray Illinois… and Lombard… repents also… repents—before it is too late. Yes, because... 12 "even now," declares the Lord, “return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning; 13 and rend your hearts and not your garments.” Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love; and he relents over disaster. 14 Who knows whether he will not turn and relent, and leave a blessing behind him, a grain offering and a drink offering for the Lord your God? Even so, still....all returns to dust. But only those with the sign of the cross on them will be raised to newness of life. Only those who return to the Lord will be saved...those who return to the place where that mark was made. This is what Lent is for. To mark us again for our burial. Yes, as we know what the consequences of sin are. Death. Yes, from dust we too were taken and will return... But with that mark...made with water… and Word…we won't stay there. 15 Blow the trumpet in Zion; consecrate a fast; call a solemn assembly; 16 gather the people. Consecrate the congregation; assemble the elders; gather the children, even nursing infants. Let the bridegroom leave his room, and the bride her chamber. We have...we are...it is called Lent. It is called the application of ashes...consecrating you again for burial...with Christ...in that living and ever flowing Water...the very waters of life... So that we will be spared eternal destruction...flames and ash... To be instead raised to eternal life. Take the ash now...death now...so that life eternal is ours later. Yes, Lent is preparation for our death now, but only for Easter later—our very own Easter. Easter...our Easter, is only possible with the Cross...with Jesus' death...and our death in Him...in Water...in Word...in this life...in this world...with its ways.... Lent is a time to fast and pray. To die to self. To die to sin. To switch our focus. To remove things in our lives that distract and blind us from the truth...for that which brings death and destruction.... Yes, to focus on dying...to let our sin nature die again...to drown it...that those things of sin to be removed...cleared away...cleaned off...the things that entrap us again in this world...in sin...that bring God's wrath and doom...fire and ash.... ...let them go...walk away...let them die...to be replaced with life...that new life to come...that He even gives a start of this here and now...a down payment from His Easter for the Easter to come... Yes, because then it does... Don't you know, Easter already has come? Then for sure, it is to be ours next! So...yes, lets get ready... 17 Between the vestibule and the altar let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep and say, "Spare your people, O Lord, and make not your heritage a reproach, a byword among the nations. Why should they say among the peoples, 'Where is their God?'" We can answer this...we can answer them—answer and say that it is not yet too late...even for them: Tell them that: He is here...in His Word...which endures forever...in the Living Water that marked us forever to be His...and in His Supper where He meets with us...feeds us...helps us to live in this world that is going to be in flames soon...a heap of ash all too soon... And then Easter. Easter is so near. Ours...and yes the Earth's too. It too is waiting...it too will also be reborn out of those ashes...just as we will be, it will be free of sin's decay...no longer filled with death... All new and green...alive...really alive...as it was meant to be...forever. Yes, He has called us. We have come. He has marked us. We have cried out and we will do so until the end—call to Him. We will look to Him. We have turned to Him for mercy. We mourn and cry out: "Spare your people, O Lord...!" And what does He do? How does He answer? He has already...He has acted...has answered. Jesus came and died...Jesus rose again...Jesus came to us—to you in water and word...and does in bread and wine. He has marked us for death so that we can live. Yes, He responds...He answers because.... 18 Then the Lord became jealous for his land and had pity on his people. 19 The Lord answered and said to his people, “Behold, I am sending to you grain, wine, and oil, and you will be satisfied... All of this has started already to come to us...in Word and Sacrament....because of Easter... We are being filled up...with Him....today even...because of Easter... …and then we will see—the world and the devil will see. Easter is almost here. God says, "...I will no more make you a reproach among the nations." This… All because Easter has already come. Ours is next. Morning is about to dawn. He is coming...in the fire of His Glory... He will rise upon the earth—death dying in that intense… on His light. Then it is up and out...for all those marked by sign...in His name...as all is burned into ash.... …and then glory...and then the Easter morning...the forever Son forever...our Emmauel with us… aways, world without end. Amen.

This sermon explores the desire of King David to have his presence in the house of the Lord be the one thing he desired above all else. While the model of the temple worship no longer exists, the heart of being near to God, gathered with his people in the local church still remains a priority of God for all believers. There are a number of factors today that keep people from prioritizing church, but the reasons to stay connected with the Body of Christ are too great to ignore.This week also marks "Ownership Sunday", inviting everyone of participation at Living Water as an "owner" pursuing three commitments: to Grow- through large and small group interactions, to Serve- by letting God use you for His Purposes, to Give- by trusting God and stewarding every portion of your life including finances.
Jesus is Living Water and we get to share in that living water.
Go to sermon webpage: LIGHT OF THE WORLD
We need living water because other ways we try to get satisfaction do not satisfy. The living water from Jesus is the life-giving and fully satisfying Holy Spirit, God's presence within us. It is never earned, only received, through God's grace - we thirst for it and drink deep from it.
John 4:1-42 As we continue to follow the life of Jeus in the Gospel of John, we come upon his meeting the Samaritan woman at the well. He reveals Himself as Messiah to a broken woman - and transforms a whole town. In John 3, Jesus offered eternal life to a wealthy Council leader. Now he offers it to the outcast and overlooked. Eternal life is available to all. Website: immanuelde.com Facebook: immanuelchurchwilmington YouTube: Immanuel Church Wilmington DE
In John 4:11–19, Jesus speaks of living water that becomes a bubbling spring within, giving eternal life. This 2 Minute Disciple devotional reminds us that Jesus loves to go beyond surface conversations, revealing our true condition so we can be healed.

Wednesday, February 4, 2026 - John 7:1-52 | Jesus's teaching highlights the Holy Spirit as "living water" and the timing of His ministry, even amid division among the people. Adults can explore the Feast of Tabernacles' cultural context, reflect on His invitation to drink deeply from the Spirit, and consider Nicodemus's defense of Him.
In John 4:4–10, Jesus asks a Samaritan woman for a drink, breaking cultural barriers to offer her living water. This 2 Minute Disciple devotional challenges us to seek out the lonely and disregarded, engaging them in conversations that point to Jesus.
Living Water for Thirsty Souls | John 4In John 4, Jesus meets a Samaritan woman at a well and offers her something far deeper than water—a life that truly satisfies.In this message, Teaching Pastor John Ciesniewski explores one of the longest and most intimate conversations Jesus has in the Gospels, revealing a Savior who lingers in places of pain, knows our stories completely, and offers living water to thirsty souls.This teaching invites us to consider:Where we've been drawing from wells that never satisfyHow Jesus meets us with compassion, not shameWhat it means to be truly known and deeply lovedHow encountering Jesus reshapes our lives and our missionIf you've ever felt weary, stuck, or caught in the in-between, this message is an invitation to stop running, come into the light, and receive the living water Jesus freely gives.
Why would Jesus stop for someone everyone else ignored? In the book of John, Jesus intentionally crosses barriers of prejudice, reputation, race, and sin to reach a lost soul with Living Water. Join Jim Scudder on InGrace as he reveals how Christ seeks the lost—no matter who they are or where they come from.
This episode introduces the release the first edition of a new educational curriculum—Dwelling in You Richly! I wrote it when I first began as a parish pastor; the goal was to immerse children in the Living Water of God's Word. The title itself refers to that goal; it is based on Colossians 3:16: "Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another with all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God." Eventually, resources will be available from pre-K through high school graduation. The high school program is the first to be released; the first term is now available. Who can use this? I initially wrote it for my congregation. However, it is applicable to Lutheran schools, homeschool communities, or home use. You can find more information, as well as samples, on the website.

For most of us, water is rarely something we think about. It's as close as the kitchen sink, the refrigerator door, or the bottle beside us at work. But for millions of people around the world, clean water remains out of reach—and the consequences stretch far beyond thirst.Jesus once said, “And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones… that person will certainly not lose their reward” (Matthew 10:42). On today's episode of Faith & Finance, Aaron Griggs of Cross International shows us just how literal—and transformative—that cup of water can be.Globally, 2.2 billion people still lack access to safe drinking water. In places like Zambia, Malawi, and Uganda, the crisis is especially severe. Women and children often walk long distances every day to gather water from open pits shared with animals. The water is contaminated, illness is common, and the time lost reinforces generational poverty. Girls miss school, mothers miss work, and entire communities struggle to flourish.This quarter, FaithFi is partnering with Cross International, a Christ-centered humanitarian ministry working alongside local churches and Christian leaders to meet urgent needs and create sustainable change. Their work in Sub-Saharan Africa is showing what can happen when clean water meets the living water of the gospel.After a well is installed in a village, physical health improves quickly—but the long-term effects are even more remarkable. Hours once spent fetching water are freed for school, work, farming, and small business. Women gain economic opportunity. Children gain education. And through Cross International's ministry partners, families are introduced to Jesus, often receiving their first Bibles in their own language.One woman in Zambia described this transformation with simple gratitude:“I never knew that I would be where I am now. My family is healthier, and my children are in school. God has blessed us.”Another woman, Grace, shared how access to water restored not only her family but also her church. For years, her congregation met under a tree because there wasn't enough water for construction. After a new well was installed, the church was rebuilt, children joined their parents in worship, and an entire community experienced renewed dignity and hope. Her favorite Scripture says it best:“Whoever believes in me… rivers of living water will flow from within them.” — John 7:38Cross International's work meets physical needs, but always in the name of Christ. Water is a doorway—opening opportunities for flourishing today and pointing to eternal life in Him. That's why FaithFi is partnering with Cross International this quarter to serve 250 children across Malawi, Zambia, and Uganda, providing not only clean water but also food, education, and the hope of the gospel.For just $62, one child receives these essential resources for a year. Every gift supports not just a child, but often an entire family and community, moving them toward long-term stability and lasting hope.Clean water changes everything—it restores dignity, strengthens families, and reflects the life-giving love of Christ.To learn more or to join us in this effort, visit: FaithFi.com/Cross.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have a question about the ‘Trump Accounts' for newborns.

Daily Devotion with Pastor Balla for January 28, 2026 explores Psalm 42:1–2 and the deep spiritual thirst that marks every human soul. “Panting for Living Water” reflects on the image of the deer longing for flowing streams and connects it to our God-given desire for the living God. This Christian daily devotion offers biblical encouragement for those who feel dry, weary, distant, or spiritually restless. Rooted in Scripture and centered on Christ, this devotional reminds us that our deepest longing is not for relief or answers, but for God Himself. Jesus alone is the living water who satisfies the thirsty soul through His Word, forgiveness, and presence. This Lutheran devotional is designed to strengthen faith, offer comfort, and draw listeners back to Christ in daily repentance and trust.Support this ministry:https://buymeacoffee.com/whitegandalphbuymeacoffee.com/whitegandalphHashtags:#DailyDevotion#ChristianDevotional#Psalm42#LivingWater#BibleMeditation
Jesus said that when we are connected to Him, we will have Rivers of Living Water flowing from us, but often we feel dry and parched.

Thursday January 22, 2026II Week After EpiphanyToday's readings draw our attention to where true security and fulfillment are found. In Genesis 11:1–9, humanity's attempt to build greatness apart from God reveals the danger of pride and self-reliance, reminding us that unity without submission to Him always leads to confusion. Hebrews 6:13–20 points us to a far better foundation—God's unchanging promise—offering a *sure and steadfast anchor for the soul* grounded in His faithfulness. And in John 4:1–15, Jesus meets a weary woman with an even deeper promise: living water that truly satisfies the thirst of the human heart.This episode invites us to stop striving for security on our own and instead anchor our hope in God's promises, drinking deeply from the life only Christ can give.

We enjoy water everyday, but how much of Earth's water can we actually drink? And where does it come from? Discover how God set the stage for life when he created bodies of fresh water. We'll visit Psalm 104 to see how God shaped mountains, valleys, and springs to care for his creatures, then dive into groundwater and underground aquifers to learn how water moves beneath our feet. Finally, we meet Jesus at Jacob's well (John 4) to understand the gift of Living Water that never runs dry.Here's our trail map:How Much Fresh Water Is on Earth?What Does Psalm 104 Say About God's Water System?Why Is There Water Underground?How Is Jesus Like a Water Well?Eryn's Books:The Nature of Rest: What the Bible and Creation Teach Us About Sabbath Living: https://www.amazon.com/Nature-Rest-Creation-Sabbath-Living/dp/0825448891Rooted in Wonder: Nurturing Your Family's Faith Through God's Creation: https://www.amazon.com/Rooted-Wonder-Nurturing-Familys-Creation/dp/0825447615936 Pennies: Discovering the Joy of Intentional Parenting: https://www.amazon.com/936-Pennies-Discovering-Intentional-Parenting/dp/0764219782Episode Links:Save 20% and get a FREE speaker using code Nat20 at https://www.sherwoodkids.com/nat20 (offer valid through March 31, 2026)Explore books, curriculum, and resources by Master Books: https://www.masterbooks.com/Parents and caregivers: hear remarkable stories of God's work in real people through the Compelled Podcast: https://compelledpodcast.com/Nat Theo Club Bonus Video: https://erynlynum.com/memberGet full lesson guides in the Nat Theo Club: https://erynlynum.com/clubFree God Made Water Coloring Sheet: https://erynlynum.com/how-much-fresh-water-is-on-earth/
