A brief study of John 4:1-30... Verse 4. “He ha

A brief study of John 4:1-30...

Verse 4. “He had to go,” because of that one woman!

Verse 9. Notice how the love and sympathy, which the Lord showed, created a friendly atmosphere.

Verses 10, 13, 14. We hear a lot nowadays of psychology; but this story is the best illustration of psychology there is. The Lord knew that woman and so He spoke of the living water, which should be a “spring of water welling up” (John 7:37-38), in order to make her feel the dryness of her soul. Contact made. Jesus put his finger on the hindrance, SIN (verse 18). Scientific humanism is intellectually impressive but morally powerless.

Verse 20. The woman is cornered and tries to get out of her predicament by talking about religion. She tries to camouflage SIN by raising an intellectual difficulty. While many intellectual difficulties today are genuine, many are hypocritical, and would not exist if they were not convenient. You may deceive yourselves and others, but “God cannot be mocked” (Galatians 6:7).

Verse 24. The keynote of true worship is “in spirit.” It was the love of God plus the conviction of sin plus the revelation of Jesus as the Christ that brought the woman to true worship.

Verse 28. “leaving her water jar”—she had something better. Invest in the unseen (spiritual) which is eternal, not in the seen that is temporary (2 Corinthians 4:18; Matthew 13:45-46).

Prayer requests from Steve & Miriam Shambach, Moun

Prayer requests from Steve & Miriam Shambach, Mountain OCF, after their Regional Coordinator visit to Wyoming: “Pray that the chapels would grow in attendance and that they would be effective in their ministry, and that others would come alongside them to help in their outreach efforts.” ⛪

Pray also for “missileers who are often isolated and away from their families when they are ‘out in the field’ at missile silos.” 🙏

On Veterans Day, OCF Central Regional Coordinator

On Veterans Day, OCF Central Regional Coordinator Hous Waring delivered a keynote address at Trinity Presbyterian School to an audience of 500 students and veterans.

In his speech, Hous highlighted the integration of faith and profession (an OCF pillar) and the importance of showing integrity in life (one of the school's core values). We’re grateful for his example of Christlike service, exemplifying the leadership OCF seeks to cultivate both within our community and beyond.

“No success without a successor”: A call to discipleship from the AMCF World Conference

In his thought-provoking reflection on the recent AMCF World Conference in Brazil, LTC John Hoyman, USA (Ret.), echoes the profound idea that true success in ministry is measured by the legacy we leave behind through discipleship.

With stories of faith, sacrifice, and global unity shared by conference attendees from 72 nations, John paints a vivid picture of how mentoring the next generation is vital for advancing God’s work.

Visit the link in our bio to read his full article and consider how you might be able to pour into the next generation.

A finite, human mind cannot grasp the ways of an infinite God (Isaiah 55:8). Belief does not depend on understanding. Few men understand electricity, but all believe in it. Beware of intellectual pride.

The world says, “Seeing is believing.” John 7:17 in the light of John 6:29 tells us that, in Christian experience, “Believing is seeing.” While evidence may be unlikely to produce faith, faith finds plenty of evidence for its confirmation.

Note especially verse 14 which can be put: “The man in his natural state of sin cannot understand the things concerning the spirit of God, for they seem foolish to human intellect: neither will he ever understand them with human brains, because they can only be understood by God revealing them to his heart.”

Pray for deployed OCFers around the world as they celebrate the holidays away from loved ones. Pray especially that they will draw near to the Lord in their unique circumstances and be a light for Him wherever He’s placed them.

“Finding things to thank God for helps keep attitudes positive. Remember that God is with you anywhere you go, even in the most isolated place the military may send you.”
