John 4:5-26, 27-30, 39-42 – Lent 3 (A)

In this episode of Preaching the Text, John Hoyum and Steve Paulson study the story of the woman at the well. This conversation involves a long dispute between the Samaritans and the Jews about the proper location of worship. Jesus reveals that true worship of God will take place neither in Samaria nor in Jerusalem only, but that true worship is in Spirit and truth. We also learn how the disciples fail to understand the true nature of worship in Christ's kingdom – which is not sacrifice to God, but the gifts of God given to us.
