Today, we will be reading in John 4:1-30. So, grab your Bible if you have one and if not you can get one from http://www.christianbook.com ; which is where I like to buy mine from.
John 4:1-4 ESV
Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John, ( although Jesus himself did not baptize, but only his disciples), he left Judea and departed for Galilee. And he had to pass through Samaria.

List the places in which the Jews and the Samaritans?
Now, list all the reasons that you can think of what it means to “worship in spirit and in truth?
Read the following verse from John 4:22 and then discuss what this verse means to you personally?
John 4:22 ESV
You worship what you do not know, we worship what we know, for salvation comes from the Jews.
Do you think that this woman received her salvation, why or why not?
What about YOU?
What does she do after her conversation with Jesus?
Why were the disciples marveled at that Jesus spoke to the woman?
How do you think Jesus viewed and valued this woman?
What does this mean to you personally about how God views and values you?
How do you know? List all the scriptures that pop into your mind?
Close, today’s journey in the gospel of John with writing and/or sharing your personal journey of salvation with a person you know that believes and then with someone who doesn’t believe.
