After encountering Jesus at the village well, a Samaritan woman rushes to share the good news with her fellow townspeople, resulting in many believing in Jesus. Later in John 4, we see an example of false faith from the people of Galilee, and conversely, true faith in action as a nobleman’s son is miraculously healed. As we watch all these events unfold, we see a beautiful model of evangelism, Jesus’ compassion on people from all walks of life, and where genuine faith comes from.

Jesus does something radical in John 4:1-29 when he takes a planned detour to Samaria – a place where Jews typically would not travel – to speak to a woman who typically would not be spoken to. As we see this story unfold, we learn why Jesus did such a shocking thing, what the living water He offered the woman was, and how we, too, can obtain it as we receive salvation from Jesus Christ.

During a nighttime encounter, Jesus explains to Nicodemus what it means to be born again – a concept that still causes confusion today. As we study this essential doctrine of the Christian faith in John 3, we see how God established this plan from the beginning, what we must do to experience it, and learn that salvation and eternal life are only found in Jesus Christ.

Three things in John 3 are prefaced with the term “must,” indicating they are essential to the Christian faith. Join us as we search the Scripture together to learn what must happen for salvation to be available, how we must respond to Jesus, and how we must strive to live in light of what He has done for us.

When a wedding party runs out of wine, Mary intreats her son to take action, resulting in Jesus’ first recorded miracle of turning water into wine. As we break down the story in John 2, we see the significance behind this event, catch first glimpses into Jesus’ purpose, and learn how to think biblically about certain issues.

Jesus declares His purpose in John 2:18-22 when He says He will rise again three days after He dies. On this Resurrection Sunday 2024, we look at what the resurrection proved, what we can expect to happen after we die in light of it, and how we can be born again to obtain everlasting life through Jesus Christ.
