Church Buildings?

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Aug 9, 2022

What lessons beside who is my neighbor can be found in the Woman at the Well narrative? Actually, quite a bit. This lesson is that Jesus was not in favor of a centralized building for worship. This restricted the LORD who was spirit and existed everywhere.

Jesus Christ: The Great Evangelist, Part 2

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 11, 2022

The Lord Jesus went out of His way to bring the Gospel to an anonymous woman. Her life was one of sin and isolation from others. Despite her attitude and resistance, she was won over to the grace and mercy of God. We are to follow His example.

No one is to be neglected or avoided when it comes to presenting the Good News of salvation found only in the Lord Jesus Christ (John 14:6; Acts 4:12; 1 John 2:1-2). As we read through the fourth chapter of John's Gospel, we see how Jesus went out of HIs way to give this offer of redemption ...read more
