Christ our God, having Ascended, has opened the gates of Paradise to mankind for the first time since the Fall of man. He forged the path for us to ascend in Him to be with Him forever. Today, on the Day of Pentecost, we are given everything we need to be with Him forever. Today God sends Himself in the Person of the Holy Spirit and He is poured into us. Today, the age of the healing of the souls of mankind and the redemption of all Creation has dawned. We have Living Water poured into us that we might be made whole again. And, this Living Water overflows out of us with the fruit and wondrous continuing ministry of Jesus Christ for the healing of all around us.

Amazing Grace: The Blind Man Who Finally Saw – John 9 In Episode 138 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane dive into John 9, the powerful story of a man born blind who encounters Jesus and receives his sight. But this miracle is about more than physical healing—it's about spiritual awakening, identity, and what it truly means to see. As the healed man grows in boldness and the religious leaders grow in resistance, this chapter reveals the difference between outward religion and genuine transformation. Together, Jamie and Jane unpack how Jesus meets us in brokenness, how suffering is not wasted, and why sometimes the people who think they see clearly can still miss the heart of God. This conversation is an invitation to let Jesus open your eyes—not just to healing, but to who He truly is. Where might Jesus be inviting me to see differently—about Him, myself, or others? ____________________________________ 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

This week Ruth welcomes Donna McIntosh, a spiritual director and hospital-trained chaplain and TC alum, to speak to the experience of when our body betrays us. Donna describes experiencing a stroke while in seminary and the primary and secondary losses that followed—health, confidence, work, reading tolerance, gait, balance, clapping, speech, and fine motor skills—along with ongoing physical challenges and the need to slow down and accept care for herself. She shares wrestling with healing expectations and blame, finishing seminary despite these challenges, and experiencing God as increasingly real and present as she “processes this every day,” finding companionship with Jesus, who also walked with a limp. Over on Substack Ruth and Donna continue their conversation where Donna shares the most important practices that have held her in recent seasons.   Season 29 is titled Becoming Human: With God in Our Bodies. Our goals this season are to confront the dualism between life in the body and life in the spirit, to hear stories of people who experienced their bodies as a place of encounter with God, and to explore the connection between the integration of life in our bodies and our spiritual lives with our leadership. We will be having deep, spiritual conversations with friends of the Transforming Center about their very human experiences in their bodies and how they've experienced God in and throughout these experiences. We will explore God in concrete bodily realities like gender, sexuality, race, ability, aging, illness, and death, to name a few.

Listen To Full Sermon: "Christ and the Living Water | 2025" @ St Mark Coptic Orthodox Church - Prosper, TX ~ May 11, 2025https://on.soundcloud.com/WfJNgXipgNUWnYJ5HF

In John 3, John the Baptist's words—“He must become greater; I must become less”—become an invitation to step out of a self-centered story and into the larger story of God. This teaching explores why Jesus is greater, why earthly things can never fully satisfy our deepest longings, and how the Spirit of God gives us everything we actually need. Bible Passage(s): John 3:22-36 Speaker(s): Glenn Packiam (Saratoga), Video (South Hills), Video (Redwood City)

In John 4, Jesus has the longest recorded conversation found anywhere in Scripture — and he has it with the most unlikely person imaginable: a Samaritan woman with a broken past. In this episode, we unpack why Jesus went out of his way to find her, what "living water" really means, and why he lovingly confronted her sin before offering salvation.Whether you feel too good to need a Savior (like Nicodemus in John 3) or too far gone to deserve one — this passage is for you.

In this Memorial Day episode of the 99 for 1 Podcast, Granger Smith, AntMan, Tyler, and Parker tackle the recent Fox News headline claiming "fame can become poison" and explain why that framing misses the gospel entirely. Granger unpacks his upcoming book, Poison in the Well: 11 Toxins That Kept Me from the Living Water of Jesus (releasing September 8), revealing several of the toxins that exposed his own nominal Christianity, including "I'm an American," "I've always been a Christian," "I repeated the sinner's prayer," "I didn't attend church," "I was comfortable in sin," and "the best thing about heaven is seeing loved ones." The guys also dig into: The Murph workout, the meaning behind it, and who's tackling it this Memorial Day AntMan officiating his own daughter's wedding and trying not to cry through the ceremony Welcoming baby Patrick into the family Kantaro, their brother in Christ visiting from Japan, and the realities of Christianity in Tokyo Why "check engine lights" in your spiritual life matter, even though works don't save A deep conversation on heaven, eternity, and whether loved ones are actually "waiting" for us How God exists outside of time, and what 1 Corinthians 15 says about the resurrection body Rooted in Luke 15 and the parable of the lost sheep, this episode is for anyone wrestling with what saving faith actually looks like.

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. Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.'” 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. (John 7:37-39)

The 1st part is in English, and the 2nd part is in Malayalam starting 15:13 mark. John 7:37, 38 – Now on the last day , the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out saying,  “If anyone is thirsty, let Him come to Me and drink.  He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of flowing water.”  ഉത്സവത്തിന്റെമഹാദിനമായഒടുക്കത്തെനാളിൽയേശുനിന്നുകൊണ്ടു: “ദാഹിക്കുന്നവൻഎല്ലാംഎന്റെഅടുക്കൽവന്നുകുടിക്കട്ടെ. എന്നിൽവിശ്വസിക്കുന്നവന്റെഉള്ളിൽനിന്നുതിരുവെഴുത്തുപറയുന്നതുപോലെജീവജലത്തിന്റെനദികൾഒഴുകും” എന്നുവിളിച്ചുപറഞ്ഞു.John 7:39 – Jesus clarifies what He means by the living water.“But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.”  അവൻഇതുതന്നിൽവിശ്വസിക്കുന്നവർക്കുലഭിപ്പാനുള്ളആത്മാവിനെക്കുറിച്ചുആകുന്നുപറഞ്ഞതു; യേശുഅന്നുതേജസ്കരിക്കപ്പെട്ടിട്ടില്ലായ്കയാൽആത്മാവുവന്നിട്ടില്ലായിരുന്നു.The living water, Jesus offers, is the Holy spirit, given to those who believe in Him.  Before His crucifixion, resurrection and ascension, Jesus was not glorified to release the Holy Spirit.  It was possible only after His ascension.  When the Holy spirit comes within a person, it overflows like water.  The Holy Spirit that overflows is living water which can bear fruits in other people. The Holy spirit is the rain of Heaven, and He is the living river that flows from within.My name... Cicilysunny@gmail.com 

Read OnlineThe disciples said to Jesus, “Now you are talking plainly, and not in any figure of speech. Now we realize that you know everything and that you do not need to have anyone question you. Because of this we believe that you came from God.” John 16:29–30Throughout John's Gospel, Jesus often speaks in allegories and metaphors that the disciples struggle to comprehend. Among these, He referred to Himself as the Good Shepherd, the Bread of Life, the Light of the World, the True Vine, and Living Water. However, during the Last Supper, Jesus speaks clearly and openly, without the veiled language they were accustomed to. He speaks of the Father's love for them, His imminent departure and return to the Father, and how He would send the Holy Spirit—the Spirit of Truth—to guide them into all truth.As the Apostles listened to Jesus speak plainly, they rejoiced in a newfound clarity, indicating that their faith had reached a deeper level. At this pivotal moment, just hours before Jesus' arrest and Passion, their new insight must have amazed even them: “Now we realize that you know everything…we believe that you came from God.”This new level of understanding was just the beginning of a journey that would lead them deeper into all Truth in the years to come. However, despite their new understanding, Jesus quickly adds that they will soon “be scattered” and leave Jesus alone. Their newfound clarity would quickly come face to face with the Cross.The experience of the Apostles teaches us much about our own spiritual journeys. Prior to the Last Supper, the Apostles grew in faith through years of listening to Jesus, grappling with veiled language, and witnessing miracles. As Jesus spoke plainly and lovingly during the Passover meal, He lifted the veil more fully to help their faith blossom. He did this, in part, because He knew they would be traumatized by His Passion—and indeed, they were.In each of our lives, we find a similar pattern. As we learn to pray, meditate on the Gospels, and study divine truths, we are encouraged as we begin to realize the treasure we have discovered. We might then experience a moment of clarity, sensing God speaking directly to us. When that happens, it's easy to assume that everything in life will immediately be easier. Yet the Cross often comes next. Like the Apostles, we might stumble, become confused or fearful, and scatter.The lesson taught by the Apostles is one we must grasp. When we are gifted with spiritual insights and consolations, finding that life and God's Word make more sense, we must remember that these consolations and moments of clarity must deepen. To draw us closer to Him, God needs to purify our faith and strengthen our wills. He does this by preparing us for a fuller participation in His Sacrifice.When we face a heavy cross, our first response is often to resist it. We might wonder where God is and why this suffering has afflicted us. The lesson from the Apostles' lives is that the crosses we face become our greatest blessings when they are united to Christ's Cross. The momentary confusion and affliction must give way to God's power to deepen us in ways that good spiritual feelings and insights alone cannot.Once the Holy Spirit descended fully on the disciples at Pentecost, their clarity and consolations were even greater, but so were the crosses they endured. The journey of faith to which we are called is first and foremost a journey into Christ's Passion. We need many moments of clarity to help us understand the value of the sacrifices we are invited to make. We need consolations so that our wills are strengthened when strength is needed the most. Reflect today on your own journey ahead. As you look to the future, know that God wants to teach you much and lift the veil from His divine truths. He does so not because He wants everything to be easy or one unending consolation, but because He wants you to share in the sacrificial love revealed through His Passion. In the end, it is that purified love that has the potential to make us holy and share in the glory of the saints. My revealing Lord, You lifted the veil to divine mysteries for the Apostles during the Last Supper as a way of preparing them for Your coming Passion and the confusion they would endure. As I journey through life, I trust that You will continually reveal Yourself to me so that I can share more fully in Your sacrificial love, which is the only way to the glory of the Resurrection. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image: Ascension of Jesus in side apse of church kostel Svatého Václava by S. G.

What happens after the encounter?In this powerful message, Pastor Joe Moss II dives deep into the story of the Samaritan woman at the well in Gospel of John John 4 and connects it to the man at the pool of Bethesda in John 5 to reveal a life-changing truth:

Because Jesus speaks with divine authority, His invitation to come and drink is one you cannot ignore.

In Week 1 of Hunger Pains, Pastor Doug explored the deep spiritual ache so many people carry — that feeling that there has to be more. Drawing from Jesus' words in Matthew 5:6, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled,” this message challenged us to recognize that the hunger we feel is real… and the world can't satisfy it.From success and relationships to possessions, distractions, and achievement, we often try to fill eternal cravings with temporary things. But God has placed eternity in our hearts, meaning this world will always feel too small for what we were truly created for.The good news? Jesus doesn't just offer satisfaction — He IS the Bread of Life and the Living Water our souls have been searching for all along.This message is a powerful reminder that your restlessness isn't a flaw… it's an invitation to come to Jesus and discover the only thing that truly satisfies.

In John 4:10–14, Jesus meets a broken and cynical Samaritan woman who has spent her life searching for satisfaction in things that could never truly fill her soul. Using the imagery of “broken cisterns” from Jeremiah 2, this sermon explores how we all seek meaning, joy, and identity in places that ultimately leave us empty. But Christ offers something infinitely better: living water that wells up to eternal life. Listen as we consider the emptiness of false saviors, the free offer of the gospel, and the soul-satisfying gift of the Holy Spirit found only in Jesus Christ.Outline 1 Broken Cisterns 2 Living WaterQuestions for Reflection • What “broken cisterns” are you tempted to look to for satisfaction instead of Christ? • Why do good things like family, success, or comfort fail to satisfy our deepest thirst? • What does Jesus mean when He offers “living water”? • How does the Holy Spirit satisfy and transform believers? • What does it look like to keep “coming to Christ” as a believer?

Whom the Son Sets Free: Truth, Identity, and Freedom – John 8:13–59 In Episode 136 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane unpack the powerful words of Jesus in John 8:13–59, where He confronts spiritual blindness, reveals His identity, and declares the life-changing truth: “Whom the Son sets free is free indeed.” As tension builds between Jesus and the religious leaders, this passage explores what it means to truly know the Father, abide in truth, and experience freedom beyond religion, performance, or bondage to sin. Together, Jamie and Jane discuss how truth isn't just information—it's a person. And when we remain in Jesus, freedom becomes more than a concept—it becomes a transformed way of living. This conversation is an invitation to let go of false identities, hidden chains, and striving, and step fully into the freedom only Christ can give.. What lie or bondage am I still carrying that Jesus is inviting me to surrender to His truth? ____________________________________ 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

As we look at the letter R in SHARE, we'll be reminded of who Jesus is and all He has done for us. Jesus is with us, and He alone satisfies our hearts with Living Water. This week, we'll learn how to remind people of who Jesus is in the midst of everyday life and conversations.

In this message from our He IS series, we look at Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well in John 4. Through this powerful conversation, Jesus reveals Himself as the Living Water who alone can truly satisfy the deepest thirst of the human soul. No matter your past, your pain, or where you find yourself today, Jesus sees you, knows you, and invites you into transformation and new life. Come discover the hope, grace, and fulfillment found only in Him.Scriptures:John 4:7-29Links:calvarymd.comcalvarymd.com/givefacebook.com/calvaryfrederick

In John 4, Jesus meets the Samaritan woman in the middle of her pain, shame, and isolation, revealing that He is the kind of Savior who draws near to the unseen and broken. Through her encounter with Jesus, we see that while circumstances may not always change, His presence transforms us from within and fills us with living hope that overflows into the lives of others. This message invites us to bring our burdens honestly to Jesus, trust Him in the middle of unchanging circumstances, and live as people whose stories point others toward His redemption and grace.Check out the sermon Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or bridge.tv/sermons. To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrCSupport the show

There's so much to learn from Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman—and even the language He used reveals the difference between what the world offers and what Christ gives. The woman spoke of water like stagnant cistern water, but Jesus spoke of living water—a bubbling, ever-refreshing spring that becomes a continual source of life and purpose for every believer (John 7:37–39). In this episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef highlights how Jesus offers the only satisfaction that can reach the deepest thirst—fulfillment the world can't provide, no matter how many pursuits promise joy but leave the soul empty. Then he turns to Jesus' example of sharing the Good News with someone from a very different background: Christ lingered, asked questions, refused to condemn, refused to excuse sin, and offered hope as a gift of grace. The result was transformation—repentance, cleansing, and a new future. And the promise extends to you: when you receive Jesus as Lord and Savior, rivers of living water flow from within you—an inexhaustible fountain meant to bless others as you share Christ with the spiritually parched around you. Prayer: Lord, thank You for Your offer of living water. Help me to remember that there are people all around me who are thirsty for that eternal life and love that only You can offer them. Give me courage and discernment to start those conversations that will lead people to You. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “Jesus answered, ‘Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 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'” (John 4:13-14). Learn more in Dr. Michael A.

Humans have a tendency to try and satisfy our longings with things that are unable to fill the void. In a conversation with a thirsty woman, Jesus reveals that he alone can fill the void. From John 4

Jesus gives Spirit-fueled lives to people who fully trust in Him.

Go to sermon webpage: IN AWE OF CHRIST ALONE

Sometimes we feel unworthy of God's love—and instead of running to Him, we hide, convinced our sin is too great to forgive. We try to earn His favor, but like Adam and Eve, our striving ends in failure and shame. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef reminds us of a life-giving Truth: God's love is greater than our sin, and He has already made a way to set us free. Dr. Youssef takes us to John 4, where Jesus deliberately traveled through Samaria—crossing cultural and religious hostility—to meet a Samaritan woman whose life was marked by broken relationships and moral failure. She didn't realize her greatest problem wasn't men, marriage, or even adultery—it was a deep, unsatisfied thirst only Jesus could quench. This devotional helps you see yourself in her story. Without Christ, we become more entangled the harder we fight sin in our own strength. But Jesus comes straight to the point of need—bringing truth to light, uncovering hidden struggles, and offering real freedom. The same Savior who met that woman at the well is ready to meet you today with living water—cleansing, restoring, and renewing all who come to Him. If you need forgiveness, healing, or restoration, this episode is an invitation: come to Christ—and trust Him to make you new. Prayer: Lord, forgive me for the ways I have tried to satisfy my heart-longings apart from You. May I be filled with Your living water today. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him” (John 3:17). Learn more in Dr. Michael A.

If today's devotional stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don't have to walk through it alone.

One of the most stunning portraits of Jesus' love overcoming prejudice and meeting human desperation is found in John 4:4–26—the story of the woman at the well. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef explains why Jesus' decision to travel through Samaria was shocking. Many Jews would take a longer, harsher route just to avoid contact with Samaritans. Yet Jesus deliberately walked into Samaria, sat at the well, and waited—tired from the journey, but intentional in His mission. The Samaritan woman was scorned on multiple levels: by ethnicity, by gender, and by her moral reputation. And still, the Son of God addressed her personally: “Will you give me a drink?” (John 4:7). With one sentence, Jesus shattered social barriers and opened a door to saving Truth—showing that no person is beyond His reach and no stigma is strong enough to repel His mercy. This devotional turns the spotlight toward your everyday life. The Lord has placed you at a “well” in your community—neighbors, coworkers, classmates, and people whose values or backgrounds differ from yours—so you can lovingly point them to the Savior who gave His life for them. Prayer: Father, help me to have a desire to share Your love with everyone, no matter what their cultural background. Open my eyes to see those You have placed in my community who need to hear the Gospel. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart” (1 Samuel 16:7). Learn more in Dr. Michael A.

Grace and Truth: Go and Sin No More – John 8:1–12 In Episode 135 of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane step into one of the most powerful moments in the Gospel of John—John 8:1–12, where a woman caught in adultery is brought before Jesus. In a scene filled with accusation, shame, and judgment, Jesus responds with both grace and truth, silencing the crowd and restoring dignity with the words: “Neither do I condemn you… go and sin no more.” Together, they unpack what it means to live in the tension of forgiveness and transformation, how Jesus meets us in our brokenness without leaving us there, and why His light exposes not to shame—but to heal. This conversation invites you to release condemnation, receive grace, and step into a new way of living. Am I living under condemnation—or walking in the freedom Jesus already gave me? ____________________________________ 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

John the Baptist understood his role; he wasn't the Savior; he was preparing the way.As Jesus' ministry grew, John's response was simple: “He must increase, I mustdecrease.” At the same time, Jesus was reaching people others avoided, offering livingwater to a Samaritan woman searching for satisfaction in all the wrong places. Thispassage reminds us that Jesus alone satisfies the deepest thirst of our souls—and whenwe truly experience that, we can't help but share it with others.

3rd Sunday of The Holy Fifty Days @ St. George Coptic Orthodox Church - Nashville, TN ~ May 3, 2026 | Parmoute 25, 1742

This week Nick Khiroya shares a message exploring how Jesus fulfills our deepest needs as the "living water," satisfying our spiritual thirst through a personal relationship and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit. Using the biblical context of Jesus' encounters at the well and the Festival of Shelters, it illustrates that God intentionally meets us in our driest moments to transform us into vessels that overflow with His life to others.

Pride, Jealousy, and the Battle for Belief – John 7:25–52 In this episode of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane dive into John 7:25–52, where confusion, pride, and jealousy collide around one central question: Who is Jesus? As the crowd debates His identity and the religious leaders resist Him, we see how hardened hearts can miss what's right in front of them. Together, they unpack how pride can block revelation, how jealousy distorts truth, and why humility is essential to truly see Jesus for who He is. This passage challenges us to examine our own hearts—are we open to truth, or are we filtering Jesus through our own expectations? If you've ever wrestled with doubt, comparison, or control, this conversation will call you back to simple, surrendered belief. Is there anything in my heart—pride, fear, or expectation—that's keeping me from fully seeing Jesus for who He is? ____________________________________ 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

Misunderstood & Unbelieved: When Even Family Doesn't See – John 7:1–24 In this episode of Divine Table Talk, Jamie and Jane explore John 7:1–24, where even Jesus' own brothers struggle to believe in Him. As tension rises and expectations clash, Jesus moves with quiet confidence—refusing to be driven by pressure, timing, or public opinion. Together, they unpack what it means to trust God's timing when others don't understand your calling, how to stay grounded when belief around you feels shaky, and why obedience often looks like restraint, not reaction. This passage reminds us that being misunderstood doesn't mean you're off track—it may mean you're walking in step with God. If you've ever felt unseen, questioned, or pressured to prove yourself, this conversation will encourage you to stay rooted in truth and trust the timing of the Father. Where am I feeling pressure to prove something—and is God actually inviting me to trust His timing instead? ____________________________________ 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

You've seen the Hollywood version of the Red Sea parting, but do you know the spiritual reason God led Israel into a dead end? Sometimes the "wrong direction" in the eyes of the world is the only way to see the "salvation of the Lord." Summary: In this deep dive into Exodus 14–18, we follow Israel out of Egypt and into the refining fires of the wilderness. We explore how Jehovah transforms a group of former slaves into a covenant people through trials of hunger, thirst, and war. The Red Sea Crossing: We analyze why God told Israel to "stand still" and see His power, and how the cloud that gave light to Israel was darkness to the Egyptians. The Wilderness of Sin: We address the "murmuring" of Israel and the miracle of Manna. We learn that God provides "daily bread" to teach us daily dependence on Him. Water from the Rock: We look at the symbolism of the smitten rock at Rephidim and how it points directly to the Living Water offered by Jesus Christ. Sustaining the Prophet: We study the battle with Amalek and the vital role of Aaron and Hur in holding up Moses' hands. We discuss how "sustaining" our leaders is an active, physical labor. The Wisdom of Jethro: We conclude with the organizational breakthrough in Exodus 18. Jethro teaches Moses (and us) that "this thing is too heavy for thee," showing the power of delegation and shared responsibility in the kingdom of God. Call-to-Action: Are you currently facing a "Red Sea" with Pharaoh's army behind you and nowhere to go? How has the Lord provided "manna" for you during a lean season of your life?
