The Woman’s Witness Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Mar 10, 2008

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.

Contributed by Mike Cleveland on Apr 6, 2008
