In this message Duncan Barlow explores how we can share our faith through the story from John chapter 4. This is more commonly known as the story of Jesus meeting the woman at the well. You can listen to Duncan’s message in the audio player below.
The woman at the well is a Samaritan woman, and Duncan uses this story as an example of sharing our faith through the way Jesus engaged with her. To start with Jesus meets this woman where she was at, and breaks the societal norms of a man not speaking to a woman. He was also uncompromising as to who he was, so we need to keep the focus on Christ,
