This podcast session features the LAST part of my LAST talk in the series, “Being Disciples, Making Disciples”. This talk is entitled, “Good News and Transformation”.
Jesus engages in a provocative conversation with a Samaritan woman at the well. Jesus has taught us three important things as follows:
- Jesus asks us to follow Him to challenging places
- Jesus models how ordinary conversation at a well, can become extraordinary if we talk about spiritual things, namely Jesus.
- Jesus illustrates that the Gospel has the power to cross every boundary, like gender, ethnic, and social boundaries.
The rest of this conversation will be intense and revealing!
