Talking John - Episode 26: ”Talking John Live!”

Episode 26 - Talking John Live!

Scripture: John 4:4-42

Description: In this special episode, we are joined by Rev. Jonathan Tompkins, Senior Pastor of St. Andrew-by-the-Sea in Hilton Head, SC. His church is making its way through the Gospel of John during Lent and using this podcast to help guide the conversation. We return to Samanda, the Woman at the Well in John 4, to share what this passage means to us.

Questions to consider if you are using this podcast for study:

1. Have you ever deliberately avoided community? Why? What adjustments to your life have you had to do to avoid people?
2. Lots of people make assumptions about Samanda. When have your seen people made assumptions without knowing the whole story? What damage was done when that happened?
3. Do you find comfort in the disciples not always getting it? Why or why not?
4. When do you remember having a really good drink of water? How does that experience help you understand the power of the living water that Jesus offers us?
5. What about this story in John 4 moves you or gives you hope?
