February 9, 2025·40 min·4 clips
Why did Jesus break every social rule to have the longest recorded conversation in scripture with an outcast woman?
Pastor Sue Ann Canfield teaches from John 4, exploring Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well.

The sermon challenges listeners to examine the broken cisterns in their lives and turn to Christ as the only source of fulfillment.
