Jesus Crosses a Line (On Purpose) // The Word Made Fresh (John 4:1-42)

Описание: This week on The Word Made Fresh, it's a solo episode!

We’ve got a guest preacher in the pulpit this Sunday—Reverend Dr. Andrea White, Associate Professor of Theology and Culture at Union Theological Seminary and theologian-in-residence at Riverside—and she’s preaching on John chapter 4, the story of Jesus and the unnamed Samaritan woman.

We’re still in the Gospel of John (and we’ll be here all the way through Easter), and this text is packed:
• Jesus crosses borders—geographical, religious, gendered, and social.
• He meets an unnamed woman at a well.
• He claims the title “Messiah” outright.
• And her testimony becomes the reason an entire community believes.

I offer some context for Samaria, reflect on why this woman’s anonymity matters, tease the sermon titles (Dancing with Jesus and God’s Transgressive Border Crossing), and dig into what evangelism might look like if it were as natural as telling a friend about a great movie or yoga class.

Plus, you get a sneak peek at this Sunday’s worship question:
When do you behold the face of God?
