Thank you so much. Oh, I needed this so much. Today in this moment this is what I needed. I love when Jesus points me to exactly what it is that I need to grow in Him. Sweet blessings to you!! 🤍
I like the Bible study on the woman at the well. This story is inspiring in so many ways. I heard an interesting concept of this story about the woman at the well; Jesus had to go through Samaria ( some area) you can see this as Jesus needing to go through some area in us to heal us, that we may be avoiding. Not to make you feel shame or guilt etc. but to show you that He wants to love you right where you are. You need to give Jesus all access to your everything for Him to be your everything. So let Him go through your some-area to change you and give you all He has. God Bless!💓
Love Piper. I actually emailed him about baptism. Je emailede back pronto 😮 he replied to my question. I asked, since I'm a Christian do I need to be bathed in water for a reborn woman for many years. I was baptized at birth, was that acceptable, even though I was a baby and didn't know about rebirth. He was so kind, so endearing. He said in your heart, how can you not believe you aren't an accepted reborn woman? Do you not know, He sees your heart. And do you not know His great love for you? You are already reborn. That's pretty much what he said. He has a video on baptism. I love that man. Very powerful. And your prayer made me tear up. In a good way. Love you. Sister in Christ. How blessed are we?!!! ❤
Thank you for inspiring me to dig deeper into God's Word. You are a wonderful example to a lot of people. A while ago around mothers day our pastor prayed over the church thanking Jesus that he always came and still comes to meet us woman where we are broken and busy with what ever needs to be done in contrast to the men in the bible having to go up the mountains to meet God there. Jesus always met the woman while they went about their dayly chores. This bible study reminded me of that prayer. It is still so true today. I most often hear Jesus while doing the dishes or ironing clothes. Just like Jesus met the woman when she was collecting her water. In the heat of the day.
We can also get so caught up in those areas we fall short or don’t measure up. When we look back and dwell on where we went wrong rather than forgiving ourselves for being human. I love the woman at the well. It is proof that I am enough and He will do whatever it takes to pursue me.
Never heard that quote before, but man, it is spot on! It sums it up so well. It’s not all the legalistic distractions like the clothes we wear, the way our hair is done, the music we listen to that matters most. It’s having complete satisfaction in Jesus. ❤️❤️❤️
I just came across your page and I absolutely love it. I have been praying to God about teaching me how to read His living word, and then your page popped up. This has been a true blessing. Once I have extra money I will definitely join your patreon. I have had a lot of financial and life tragedies as of late. I know the Lord has me, but it can be difficult. So thank you for doing this free content.
Wow! I had never heard of hedonism before that was so cool you included it! I think it’s Awesome to add some things to the videos like you did this week. I love the concept of modern day women and the addition of other concepts as well. Love your journaling you always do such a great job. Great video Faith that makes women really want to get to know Jesus even more!🙌🙌🙌!
I thank God for you this evening and the passion he has placed within your heart. This lesson meant a lot to me. Please keep doing what you are doing, I’ll continue to support by watching and praying for you ❤ God bless you ❤
Inspired by this channel, I've decided to start a Bible journaling 3-ring binder where I do Scripture-writing and take notes from my Bible studies, commentaries, videos, and books I'm reading. I plan on hole-punching your printables to put in there as well as any hand-outs I want to keep from church. I plan to get dividers so that I can make a section for each book of the Bible as well as for topics I study a lot. I'm anxious to make it look snazzy with colors and drawings and maps, too. I'm excited, and thank you for showing what you do.
I do need to make one correction- Nico wasn't a religious professional, so in that way he WASN'T perceived as one of the holiest people, but he IS to be seen in contrast to the woman at the well as much holier and much more socially accepted!
Just discovering your channel and this study in particular. I absolutely love it! And I am thoroughly enjoying all of your other videos as well! I did a bible study a couple of years ago called Jesus and Women by Kristi McLelland (so good!!). She was telling us that in first century middle eastern culture, men could divorce their wives for anything and everything- even something so minor as burning the bread! I grew up reading this story and thinking not the best things about her- assuming the worst, but we have no idea why she had 5 husbands! Maybe she had been divorced for things that were really out of her control! It was really such an interesting perspective and completely changed the way I viewed her. And I LOVE that in verse 21 Jesus says, "an hour is coming when you WILL worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem". He already knew that she would worship Him in heaven and tells her before she ever even knows that He is the Messiah!! And on down in verse 23-24 He is discussing theology with her! There is so much here that shows us just how much Jesus valued women in a time and culture that looked down on them. Kristi says that people often say that Jesus was turning things upside down, but He was really turning them right side up!
I just found your channel a few days ago I love it. It’s just what I needed. I am currently looking at the woman at the well and your women of the Bible studies, but I can’t find the free print out you were speaking out of 🤔
Hey there! I am a newbie and wanted to say that I’m enjoying your channel. Thank you so much for sharing this video. It was insightful and inspiring. You prayed a beautiful prayer at the end and I appreciated that so much. See you in the next one. God bless!
Another thing I love about him going through Samaria - if the Jews needed to travel, they would go completely around Samaria (not through it and just ignore all the people they would literally avoid the country and go completely around which added who knows how much time to their journey. So that adds even more significance to it as well
Enjoy your crop duster! I live outside a Military base and am on the heliocopter flight plan - have military heliocopters day and night and sometimes they are really low! House sometimes shakes. 😬 Also get TV and Police heliocopters that fly overhead too.
I had heard of hedonism, but not like that. I love your videos so much. I just found your channel last week or so and am so thankful I did. Needed this today!
Can you tell I am catching up today 😁 Longest conversation, WOW, another awesome fact I did NOT know. These make such a big difference in how I see the scriptures!! Side note: This story was beautifully portrayed in the series 'The Chosen'.
YES! I really want to watch all of the Chosen, I remember you recommending it to me or on Facebook or something, so I actually looked up the scene from the Chosen for this bible study! I meant to tell you that but forgot! I really need to set aside some time and make that my new show! I just don't want a lot of TV anymore- maybe once this semester ends! And i am having a blast talking back and forth with you- I'm editing monday's video and I need some breaks because my brain is starting to hurt! hah.
@@HowtoFaithALife I also need a technology break... I'm really close to getting a flip phone lol 😆 The Chosen is very worth it but I understand not having time bc you are juggling a lot already. I am babysitting a 15 month old, in addition to my 4 month old today. Soaking up the Word during naps lol my heart goes out to you 2under2 moms ❤️😁
I am new to your channel, and I have already learned so much. Thank you for sharing so much with all of us out here in the internet world. Lol That prayer at the end was so beautiful and I a agree that may we not get so distracted by everything when we need to keep our focus on Jesus!
Hello, can you teach me/us how to 'find/look' for the context of each book or chapter of the bible? Because even reading a commentary I can't spot any context/ I just really don't know how.
Thank you for these studies. 💖 I love how you add the contextual facts in there as well. They help to put things in perspective. This is the first I have heard of Christian Hedonism. Looking to Jesus for FULL satisfaction is something I still struggle with. I keep thinking to myself: If I only had....I would be happy. Your prayers are so beautiful. I wish I could pray like that. Could I ask for a prayer request?
Thank you so much! It is greatly appreciated. 💖 Next week is going to be a trying week for me with so many unknowns. I just need strength, to keep a level head, and a reminder that God is in ALL situations. Thank you very much, friend.
The woman changes the subject at the speed of light when Jesus shows He knows her whole history. (I always thought that was kind of funny.) And Jesus gently lets her change the subject. He's full of grace *and* truth!
I appreciate this video so much. I do have a question though my son who's struggling with his faith, had pointed out that Jesus called this woman a dog. I need help with this because that does not sound like a good thing. And my son says what father calls his daughter a dog?😢
An interesting - and possibly confusing - account took place between Jesus and a woman He called a “little dog”: Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon. And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed.” Matthew 15:21-22 The woman is a Canaanite, which makes her one of the Jews’ ancient enemies and a surprising person to seek Jesus’ help. When Israel entered the Promised Land they were supposed to destroy these people, because of their wickedness. But He answered her not a word. And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, “Send her away, for she cries out after us.” But He answered and said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.” Matthew 15:23-24 Why Did Jesus Call the Woman a Dog? God told Abraham, “And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed” (Genesis 12:3). Primarily this referred to the Messiah coming from Israel, but it also referred to Israel being the witness nation. The Jews would receive the Gospel first and spread it to the surrounding world. Romans 1:16 says, “the gospel is…for the Jew first.” When Jesus sent out the Twelve, He said, “Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans. But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel” (Matthew 10:5a-6). Jesus didn’t forbid the disciples from preaching to Gentiles if they encountered them along the way, but they were to go first to Israel. Jesus told the Canaanite woman the Jews had to have the first opportunity to accept Him: Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, help me!” But He answered and said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.” Matthew 15:25-26 The “children” are the Jews, and the “bread” is the spiritual food or Gospel. The Greek word for “dog” is kyōn, and it is a derogatory term the Jews used for Gentiles. The word Jesus used for “little dogs” is kynarion, and it’s not derogatory or cruel. It can be used affectionately, even of a family pet. Look at her response: And she said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.” Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour. Matthew 15:27-28
When reading this, I read "sixth hour" and didn't know what that was. So, I looked it up to learn something. Basically, noon is called "sixth hour" because it is about six hours after sunrise. Maybe most knew that, but I didn't; so, I thought I'd share. This section of John had always been my least favorite story/passage in the New Testament until I watched "The Chosen" and decided to read it again for myself. Why was it my least favorite? Before, with only a brief read, I put myself in her shoes and really felt like Jesus was condemning her. I thought back to the sins of my past, and I was like, "I'm no better at all." And, I started bashing myself, yet again, for my past. However, with this new reading because of this video and scenes from "The Chosen" running through my mind, I see it differently. Jesus brought up her past and her sins as a witness to her of His identity and His love that is different than what she expected from culture. In contrast, our mutual enemy and people (including ourselves) bring up the past and mention past sins as an accusation and condemnation, impeding our new identity in Christ [that new identity given to us from Jesus like Jonathan was giving his identity to David, as you mentioned in the 1 Samuel 18:1-5 video regarding Inductive Bible Study]. 2 Corinthians 5:17-19 -- "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away. Behold, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting men’s trespasses against them. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation."
I’ve never known of a Jew to be that hateful to anyone let alone Samaritans. Also the only time women were treated as lesser was in Paul’s teachings. In the teachings of Judaism, or what you call Old Testament, women were treated as equals, as if they belonged. The women ran the household and controlled the money of their homes. If a man wanted to buy something he had to ask his wife if there was any money for that. In fact it’s still that way, at least in Judaism. Women’s value decreased in christianity due to Paul’s teachings, which is why the feminist movement exists. I know, as I’m studying Judaism so I know what is being taught in the Bible.
You probably won’t see this, but how cool is it that God used a video you made 2 YEARS AGO to speak to me today. Thank you❤
Same here. Just saw this today and it was awesome to understand this part of the Bible better.
Same
You didn't cry, but I did the moment you prayed for us on the other side of the screen. ❤ Thank you!
Totally agree! God most glorified in me when I am most satisfied in Him. ✝💜
Thank you so much. Oh, I needed this so much. Today in this moment this is what I needed. I love when Jesus points me to exactly what it is that I need to grow in Him.

What’s the book the commentary is from for John Calvin?
The woman changes the subject at the speed of light when Jesus shows He knows her whole history.

And she said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”

Women’s value decreased in christianity due to Paul’s teachings, which is why the feminist movement exists. I know, as I’m studying Judaism so I know what is being taught in the Bible.
