This encounter may seem confusing and harsh to those of us who do not understand …

In part 2 of our three-week series, we’re examining Jesus’ surprising yet divinely planned conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well in John 4. On the surface, this meeting made no sense. She was …
If you have read the gospels, you know that a lot of times Jesus spoke to the masses. Jesus had quite the following during His time ministering on earth.
