WORSHIP ... GROW ... SERVE.

SERMON SERIES: GIVE ME ONE 
 
This past Sunday we discussed how Jesus died for everyone.  This Sunday we will discover how Jesus was willing to reach
anyone; especially those that were on the outside looking in.  He encountered one such person while at a well in the region of Samaria. This woman had long been written off by the religious leaders and even people in her own village.  But Jesus tells this woman in John 4:13-14, "Anyone who drinks this water will soon become thirsty again.  But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life."   What we will learn this Sunday is that anyone can come to Christ and never be spiritually thirsty again. - ART 
This Sunday:  "Anyone"
Scripture:  John 4: 1-42
