John: The Encounter At The Well
About this episode
This episode explores the surprising encounter between Jesus and a Samaritan woman at the well, delving into historical tensions and the woman's ostracism.
Surprising. Shocking. Scandalous. Jews and Samaritans were NOT supposed to interact. Their mutual hatred went back generations. And yet, here Jesus was, not only talking with this woman in John 4 – but asking her for water. What was this encounter all about? Questions That We’ll Answer: A) What was the history of the Samaritans? Who were they? B) What had the woman done to be ostracized by her own people? C) What did Jesus tell the woman – and why was it so encouraging? Website: www.fpcgulfport.org
