What if God's love wasn't earned by following rules, but freely given? Join us in John 4 as we explore the shocking encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman, where not even things that were most frowned upon could stop the compassion and love of Jesus. We will hear how Jesus offers "living water," to all who believe. This transformative conversation showcases Jesus' focus on those who feel undeserving of love and redemption — inviting people from all walks of life to be a part of God's family.
From the cultural tensions between Jews and Samaritans to the invitation to accept Jesus’ living water, this story highlights the transformative nature of Jesus' love — a love that is offered to all.
