JOHN | Jesus in Samaria

[We apologize, no audio is available for this sermon. You can watch this service HERE.]

It started out like any other day. Whatever hopes and dreams she once had, had now given way to survival. She was outcast; she was immoral, and her days were filled with shame. She had no idea that an ordinary, routine trip to the well would change her life forever. This week Tim will share the story of the Samaritan woman from John 4.

One thing we will learn from this story is this: no matter how far gone you are, no matter what you’ve done, no matter what’s been done to you, no matter how shamefully you’ve lived, no matter what’s your story, if you're lost, you're lost. There is no gradient of loss.

In John chapter 3 we read of Nicodemus, and his lack of understanding of who Jesus is and why He is there. In chapter 4 we read of The Samaritan woman. The Samaritan woman wasn’t more lost than Nicodemus, but unlike Nicodemus, she understood her lost state.

The story of the Samaritan woman shows us that it doesn’t matter who you are or what you’ve done, Jesus offers the forgiveness of sin. He offers new life. He offers the living water that your soul has been thirsty for — and He offers it freely as a gift to those who believe.

We hope to see you Sunday. — Ed
