Jesus trip to Samaria was God's divine appointment for the evangelism of the Samaritan people. Jesus went out of his way to minister to a simple Samaritan woman and share with her the gospel message. Not only is this conversation a wonderful example of evangelism but also Jesus teaches the Samaritan woman what real worship is.

Jesus exhorts His followers not once, not twice, but three times to not worry and fret over the material needs of this life. What is Jesus actually teaching in this passage? What is He not teaching? Is it truly possible to live worry-free lives?

Christmas tradition for Americans has become a time filled with gifts and giving. We give out of hearts filled with love and good cheer to people who are special to us. John 3:16 describes the greatest gift ever given by God out of a heart filled with love for us. A gift given even though we were not only undeserving of the gift but the enemies of God when he gave it.

God’s Word specifically commands us not to JUDGE one another. Matthew 7:1 states, Judge not, that ye be not judged. Romans 14:13 commands us not to judge one another. James 4:11 states that we are not to speak evil of another. In Matthew 7:1-6, Jesus uses a parabolic statement to emphasize this command. Why behold the mote that is in your brother’s eye, but consider not the beam that is thine own eye? It is not wrong to exercise discernment, but we must always start with ourselves. Most of us need to do some personal eye surgery before we try to perform such on someone else. We should always strive to glorify God in all our relationships and we must always choose to respond to others with love. That will cause us to treat them as we would like to be treated.

Being a good person is not enough. Being religious is not enough. In fact, nothing that you can do will ever earn eternal life for us. You must be born again!

Lasting and truly valuable treasure. Our hearts will be focused on what we treasure and where we treasure it. If our focus is not on serving God we will be slaves to this world's wealth.

While the turning of the water into wine was a great sign, it was certainly more than simply meeting a desperate need and saving a family from embarrassment. Jesus' turning the water into wine was a manifestation of his glory and a demonstration of his creative power and ability to make all things new.

Who we serve depends on what we choose to experience and what we choose to do.

In the midst of a world that Jesus stated was not only living in darkness, but loved their darkness (John 3:19-21), he has commanded believers to be the light. The purpose is not to draw attention to ourselves but so that through our good works men and women in darkness will glorify God.
