To study John 4 in a group
1. What it says
What does Jesus ask of the Samaritan woman at the well, and what does he offer her? (vv. 7-15)
2. What it means
Jesus says God seeks worshipers who worship “in spirit and truth.” What answer does he give to her question about the place? (vv. 20-24)
3. How I live it
The woman left her water jar and told others what had happened to her (vv. 28-29). Whom could you invite to “come and see” something good?
