    Jesus meets a Samaritan woman at a well. Jesus is absolutely willing to break cultural norms. He is led by scripture. And the meeting brings great results.

    Anointing Of The Holy Spirit Series

Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but ...read more
