Jesus and a Sinner Discuss Worship

The recount of Jesus' conversation with the samaritan woman at the well is His introduction to New Testament worship. The format follows Jesus' explanation of worship to the Samaritan woman at the well in John 4:1-26. This new worship is not limited to a location, but allows someone to worship anywhere, anytime. There are differences between those who worship in spirit and in truth, and those who do not. Those who do not are not worshippers; they simply ignorantly go through the motions. "Worshipping in spirit" involves God's Holy Spirit and our human spirit. "Worshipping in truth" means obeying the truths written in Scripture.

Our memory verse this week is found in John 4:23-24:


But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship Him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.
