The Master (2)

 

Jesus Teaches the Woman of Samaria

John 4:3-27

Victor M. Eskew

 

Teacher’s Note:  This text teaches us a lot about personal evangelism.  I like to divide the group into 3 or 4 sections and let them have about 10 or 15 minutes to complete the questions.  Then bring all the groups together to discuss the answers.  As the teacher, you will need to learn the answers to the questions.  Too, you will need to make application to personal evangelism from Jesus’ discussion with the Samaritan woman (Ex., Jesus used a simple request to start a religious discussion).  POINT:  This study can be contrasted in many ways with the discussion from last week.
