2020 Women in the Word

The Study of The Samaritan Woman at the Well (John 4: 7-42)

12:00 PM

 


Our memory verse for this week is Psalm 90:14..."Satisfy us in the morning with Your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days." 

Hi Girls!

We're off to study another woman with a very checkered past this week. Probably the most checkered of all the women we will study, as far as we know of. She had an awful lot going against her;

  •  First being a Samaritan - Jew went out of their way NOT to associate with any Samaritan
  • And then an immoral woman- even her own people wouldn't associate with her. 
But Jesus did!

I cannot wait to get into her story! You'll find it here:

Samaritan Woman at the Well: John 4: 7-42

Be sure to study with our themes in mind this week:

  • Monday: Her story--a portrait of her life
  • Tuesday: Her life and times--background information about the culture of her day
  • Wednesday: Her legacy in Scripture
  • Thursday: Her promise--the Bible promises that apply to her life and yours
  • Friday: Her legacy of prayer--and praying in light of her story

We want to also encourage you to be thinking along these lines as you study this week. Ask yourself:


  • What life lessons stand out to me from her life?
  • How does the culture of that day have an impact on her circumstances?
  • What stands out as her legacy ?
  • What's the greatest takeaway/promise from her story?
  • How does her story prompt you in the area of prayer?
All for now! 
I hope you are just as excited as we are to begin this week's study on the life of the Samaritan women at the well! 

We'll see you in the morning! 

Blessings!

Psalm 90:14

Women of the Bible ~ Samaritan Woman at the Well ~ Scripture Saturday ~ Psalm 90:14

11:00 PM


 

Welcome to Scripture Saturday!


Our verse for this week is Psalm 90:14..."Satisfy us in the morning with Your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days." 

The Samaritan woman visited, and carried water from this well, back to her home during the hottest hours of day, everyday, just so she would alone to do this chore. On this day, when she arrived at the well, she found a Jewish man there. As she drew water from the well the man asked her for a drink. She was astonished that a Jewish man would even speak to her, a Samaritan, and as we find out, a sinner...

And as she continued to speak with Him she declares a truth, "I know that the Messiah is coming. When He comes He will explain everything to us." Jesus then declares to her, for the first time, that He is the Messiah, "I who speak to you am He." And from that moment on her life was completely changed for He had "water" that would take away her thirst forever. A water that would fill her so full of Himself that all her needs would be met, and all her wants satisfied.

Let me ask you...are you filling yourself so full of Him everyday that your deepest needs and wants are being met by the only One that can truly satisfy your thirst? 

Have a blessed week everyone!
