    based on 104 ratings
     | 56,469 views

    The text records the effects of Jesus’ witness upon a woman & then through the women upon the Samaritan village. Strangely, it also includes the effect of witnessing upon Jesus. God changes others, the world, & us as we bear witness to Jesus.

    JOHN 4: 27-38 THE WOMAN’S WITNESS With Jesus’ declaration that He is the prophesied Messiah the conversation has reached its summit. The recounting of Jesus and the Samaritan woman might have closed with Jesus’ evangelical witness and testimony as it did with ...read more

    A sermon on vision for a new year. This was written almost 10 years ago. Some of the illustrations may need to be update.

It is a passage that, if you are not familiar with Scripture, you will assume you read it in a magazine, or ...read more
