Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

1. What does this passage show me about God?

   • What does the woman say to her town, and what happens because of her word?

2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

   • The woman had a past and no training — what excuses does that take away from you?

3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

   • What will you leave behind this week, like her water jar, in order to go tell someone about Jesus?

4. Who will I tell?

   • Who could you invite with the words 'come and see' — and could that turn into a study in their home?

3 Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).
