    CENTRAL THOUGHT Conviction based on God’s word bring about genuine conversion. HYMN: AMAZING GRACE, HOW SWEET THE SOUND Text: John 4:1-42   INTRODUCTION Jacob’s well was located outside the city along the main road. There, Jesus encountered this woman and gave her extraordinary message on the living water that would quench her spiritual thirst forever. 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 examine her lifestyle with that of a typical religious person in the church without deep personal knowledge of 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...

  CENTRAL THOUGHT Words carry power; we mar or make with them.   HYMN: I AM THIN O’ LORD Text: Prov. 12:17-19, 18:8, 21:23, Eccl. 5:2, Matt. 5:37, Eph. 4:29   Introduction: Spoken words carry power; they can have negative or positive influence/impact on the hearer. Therefore, every believer in Christ should heed the admonition of Scripture on words and keep a check on the words of our mouth.   LESSON OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study are: To examine the negative influence of words. To discuss the positive impact of the words we speak To know how we can check the words of our mouth.   Q1. EXAMINE SOME NEGATIVE INFLUENCE OF WORDS. Prov. 18:8, Numbers 13:26, 14:4, 36-37 Every word spoken has an influence on the hearer. Hence if you tell someone he has won a huge sum of money, the immediate impact on the hearer would be a smile. One the other hand, when a person is told harsh unkind and insulting words, the person would frown instead of smiling. This goes to show that every spoken word has an influence not only on the hearer but also carries power in the spirit realm. Prov. 18:8 states that the “words of a talebearer are as wounds,...

Apostasy Creeping into the Church   Central Thought: Believers must courageously believe the Word of God in these last days and reject what is false. HYMN: CHRISTIAN, SEEK NOT YET REPOSE   Text: 2 Peter 2:1-22, Jude 20-25   INTRODUCTION “We live in dangerous times”. “The world has become a lot more complex”. These are common sayings. Of course, the Scriptures declare that perilous times will come. The world in its operations has indeed witnessed changes that were considered unthinkable centuries ago but the operators have remained the same: the human heart is still as it was in the days of Noah or the days when Jesus of Nazareth walked upon the earth. Feats hitherto  unimagined have been accomplished by man. Space exploration has since progressed to space tourism. With the growing sophistication is an increased need for resources to cope with the attending economic pressure and distress. It is therefore not surprising to find that even believers in Christ are tempted to believe just about any teaching that helps them to acquire these resources. In a bid to enjoy “good success”, usually as defined by the world, believers have turned to teachings that are powered more by psychological principles than the pure word of God. If there was ever...
