Detour To Opportunity - Pastor Chris - September 24, 2023

<p><strong>Pastor Chris</strong> shares some lessons learned and memories made on his 2 month sabbatical this summer. </p> <p><br></p> <p>John 4.3-7 (NIV)</p> <p>3 So he left Judea and went back once more to Galilee.</p> <p>4 Now he had to go through Samaria. 5 So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph. 6 Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon.</p> <p>7 When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Will you give me a drink?”</p> <p> </p> <p>John 4. 39-43 (NIV)</p> <p> 39 Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything I ever did.” 40 So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days. 41 And because of his words many more became believers.</p> <p>42 They said to the woman, “We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world.”</p>
