Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:5–6a

Reflection:

Your ministry assignment is not an accident. God Himself has chosen your role in His Kingdom. He has wired you with certain gifts, experiences, and opportunities to serve others and glorify Him. When you realize your assignment is God-given, it changes the way you see service—it’s no longer about convenience, but obedience.

Takeaway:

Your assignment is not random—it’s God-given.

Prayer:

Lord, thank You for giving me a place in Your work. Help me discover and embrace the assignment You have for me. Amen.

Scripture: John 4:39-42 — 39 Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.” 40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days. 41 And because of his words many more became believers. 42 They said to the woman, “We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world.”

Reflection:

The woman began her day avoiding people. By the end of the day, she was the reason her whole town came to meet Jesus. That’s the power of grace — turning shame into a testimony that glorifies God. You, too, have a testimony to share, no matter how shameful it might be. In Christ, it is worth sharing!

Prayer:

Lord, thank You for redeeming my story. May the changes You have made in my life lead others to meet You personally. Amen.

Scripture: John 4:30-38 — 30 They came out of the town and made their way toward him. 31 Meanwhile his disciples urged him, “Rabbi, eat something.” 32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.” 33 Then his disciples said to each other, “Could someone have brought him food?” 34 “My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. 35 Don’t you have a saying, ‘It’s still four months until harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. 36 Even now the one who reaps draws a wage and harvests a crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together. 37 Thus the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true. 38 I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor.”

Reflection:

The disciples were focused on food, but Jesus was satisfied by doing His Father’s will—sharing the Good News with those ready to receive it. While they thought of the future harvest, Jesus pointed to the present: people were already coming to Him, hearts prepared by others’ prayers and efforts. We, too, can be so caught up in daily routines that we miss the spiritual opportunities right in front of us. The harvest is now, and God invites us to join His work, reaping where others have sown and sowing where others will reap, all for His glory.

Prayer:

Lord, open my eyes today to the people You are drawing to Yourself. Help me not to be so distracted by my needs and routines that I miss the harvest right before me. Give me the joy of doing Your will and participating in Your work. Amen.

Scripture: John 4:28-29 — 28 Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people, 29 “Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Messiah?”

Reflection:

The water jar represented the woman’s daily routine, her survival, and possibly her shame. When she encountered Jesus, her priorities changed — she left the jar behind to share the good news. When we meet Jesus, some things we once thought essential no longer hold us.

Prayer:

Lord, give me the courage to leave behind what no longer defines me, so that I may run freely to tell others about You. Amen.

Scripture: John 4:13–14 — 13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

Reflection:

We often chase things we think will satisfy — success, relationships, possessions — but they always leave us thirsty again. Jesus offers living water, which quenches the deepest thirst of the soul. Only He can give lasting peace and joy.

Prayer:

Lord, show me the empty wells I’ve been running to. Help me to drink deeply of the living water You offer so that my life may overflow to others. Amen.

Scripture: John 4:4–6 — “4 Now he had to go through Samaria. 5 So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon. ”

Reflection:

Jesus did not take the usual route around Samaria. He took the road that led straight to the Samaritan woman — and to her pain, her shame, and her thirst. In the same way, Jesus is intentional in meeting you in your own story. He is not waiting for you to “get it together” first. Right now, in your real circumstances, He is there.

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, thank You for coming to me where I am. Help me to recognize Your presence even in my ordinary days, and welcome You into my story. Amen.

Scripture:

"If your gift is..., then..."

—Romans 12:6–8 (NIV)

Reflection:

In God's eyes, your faithfulness matters more than your talent. You don’t need to be the best—you just need to be willing. The Holy Spirit empowers those who obey, even in small things. So whatever your gift is, use it. Obey God, and watch how He multiplies the impact.

Prayer:

Lord, I want to be faithful with whatever You’ve given me. Help me to obey even when I feel inadequate, knowing You are my strength.

Discussion Question:

Scripture:

"We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully."

—Romans 12:6–8 (NIV)

Reflection:

God doesn’t expect you to do everything—but He does expect you to do your part. Whatever your gift is—serving, teaching, encouraging, giving—use it! The body of Christ is healthiest when every member contributes. Don’t underestimate your gift; it’s a divine assignment.

Prayer:

Jesus, thank You for the grace You’ve given me to serve. Help me to use my gifts with joy and confidence in You.

Discussion Question:

Which of the gifts listed in this passage do you feel most drawn to, and how are you using it to serve others?
