Our Sabbath service here at Yokosuka base in Japan

We are having a service here, it's 2nd Sabbath of the month.

Chaplain Mills lead in getting prayers request and praises. My husband really like the way he did on the prayers that he did not repeated the request because God already heard it. I mean God heard it when we were talking that this is our request to God. The reason I know, God is omnipotent, he is everywhere.

Behavior at church: Mary is talking while Chaplain Mills deliver his message.
Children story by Chaplain Bob Mills
Chaplain Mills continued his story about Harley, a 9 year old that live in Bethsaida. He wanted to see Jesus. At this time, Jesus is at the temple and saw that people sells many stuff like animals and many more. Jesus was angry and let all the animals go, people were running away from temple. Children did not go anywhere but Jesus gathered them and tell. Temple is not a place of making money but a place of learning and grow about God.

Chaplain Mills is giving his message for the divine service.
Look for John 4:7
The Samaritan is formerly brother to Jewish people. It turns out that they are unfriendly to each other.

Interesting character: a woman came at noon and even not in a normal time of drawing water from the well. She saw Jesus there.

John 4:13,14 - Jesus is not talking about the literal water, as in h2o.
V. 15
V23
V25
If you are reading the story about the Samaritan woman drawing water from the well. Now, you can understand what is the message Jesus wanted for us to learn. In Evangelism, it is not only by word we deliver but also through in our actions and how we deal with our children and other people.

1. met somebody and start a relationship

2. Living without Jesus is empty - there is no satisfaction even how high you are in the society

3. Share what Jesus done to you. How you change your life.

4. Answer the objection biblically. Some people are very critical and wanted to find answers. Try to look answers Biblically. If you can't handle it, find a minister. "It's not what they give up!"

5. Ask Lord for guidance. Especially when God recreated their lives

Then disciples v39 says nothing at all. When they saw Jesus is talking to that Samaritan woman.

A true worship is not limited thru this mountain but in spirit and it's truth. This is what Jesus wanted us to do "I want you to worship me in spirit and it's truth". We are giving our hearts and the minds fully to him. We have so many questions on how.

The service is over, everyone is invited for a pot luck. Everybody is preparing. :))

Let's eat!
Happy Birthday Elizabeth.
