Everyday Bible Conversations!

EBC 3, 2, 1! – On Location in 2026! Leading to Worship Sunday March 8, 2026 

Reading: John 4:5-42 

EBC focuses on bringing the Bible into our Everyday Lives, emphasizing God’s Everyday presence by finding connections in our physical world! This week, we see how even a question of faith can itself lead to the spread of faith and Jesus’ love! Click here: Week 10 Video Welcome to this week’s EBC 3,2,1! Three points, two questions, and one action step! 

Three Points

  Jesus saw a Samaritan woman by a well, and asked her to draw him some water. The woman was taken aback by this Jewish man speaking to her, but Jesus assured her, “If you knew the gift of God and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me a drink,’ you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.” (John 4:10)  

    After more conversation, Jesus told her about her long marital history (a story that from her perspective, Jesus would not have known) and revealed that he is the Messiah.

  The woman went to tell others about the man who knew all about her life, and asked a simple question: “He cannot be the Messiah, can he?” (John 4:29) From this, many believed in Jesus; they asked him to stay, learned from Jesus for two days, and from his teachings they believed in Jesus! 

Two Questions

  So many places in the Gospels, Jesus speaks in parables, or only indirectly references who he is. Yet here is a place, to a Samaritan woman, where Jesus is plain – he is the Messiah! Why do you think Jesus was so direct with her, when he was not always so direct with his disciples? What would you do if you had been the woman at the well, suddenly and expressly meeting Jesus the Messiah?

  Do you picture evangelism as needing a bullhorn and a declaration, shouting “JESUS IS LORD!”? Do you notice how much growth, faith and evangelism happens from the woman’s simple question, “He cannot be the Messiah, can he?” 

Action Step

  Be brave enough to ask a faith question. You may be amazed how much faith (yours and others) continues to grow from asking the question, not necessarily declaring the answer!

Don’t like these questions? Do these verses say something different to you? Great! What is it?

And as always, you are encouraged to find a friend (or two or many) and take an EBC coffee break! Find 15-25 minutes somewhere in the week and share your faith. Have fun finding God this week in your Everyday Life!
