The Woman at the Well

This week's sermon will include a discussion of one of the hot-button topics in the church and wider society today. In Romans 1, Paul lays out how we collectively exchanged the worship of God for the worship of idols. Because of this, God “gave us over” to all manner of impurities. The list Paul gives of our impurities is long, but we must admit that he includes homosexual acts as a chief example. How are we to approach this? We might experience same-sex attraction ourselves, but even if we don’t, we all have loved ones who do. In her wisdom, the Church pairs Romans 1 with John chapter 4 and the account of the Samaritan woman at the well. This woman, like all of us, has experienced relational and sexual brokenness as a result of our collective sin. Having had five husbands and currently living with one who is not her husband, we might say that she is “maritally irregular” in her society. We will explore how Jesus treats her, and us. Come and see. You can view the full sermon here: https://youtube.com/live/CVRckFN1oWg
