HYMN: I HAVE MY LIFE FOR THEE Text: 2 Cor. 8:1-5; Luke.6:38, 21:1-4   INTRODUCTION To give is to pass something into someone’s hand or care or to hand over something as a present to someone.

Her encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ brought about a positive turn around in the entire city of Samaria.   LESSON OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study are: Do you know who the Samaritan woman was before she encountered Christ.

To highlight the Samaritan’s Woman’s life after her encounter with Christ.   Bible Truth: Q1. HIGHLIGHT THE LIFESTYLE OF THIS WOMAN BEFORE HER ENCOUNTER WITH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST. The lifestyle of the Samaritan woman was what we can describe as a sinner who never knew God. She was naturally segregated from the commonwealth of Israel. Though she had a mental knowledge of the coming of the Messiah, she never knew that He “that was speaking to her was the Messiah”. She knew the religious pattern of the worship of the Almighty...
