Scripture: John 4:41 (ESV)“And many more believed because of his word.” This verse marks a beautiful moment of spiritual awakening.

It was His word—the living truth spoken by the Son of God—that reached theirContinue reading “Many More Believed”

Scripture: John 4:40 (ESV)“So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days.” What a remarkable turn of events.

Scripture: John 4:36 (ESV)“Already the one who reaps is receiving wages and gathering fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together.” Jesus continues His teaching on spiritual harvest, revealing a profound truth: the labor of sharing the gospel brings eternal rewards and shared joy. Those who reap—the ones who see visibleContinue reading “Shared Joy in the Harvest”
