Choose This Day 3: Shepherd RSM

Sermons @ Shepherd

Welcome to this week's sermon from Shepherd of the Hills, where we'll be diving into the powerful story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well, found in John 4:5-26. This is a story of Jesus crossing boundaries - both ethnic and gender - to offer living water to a woman in need.

As we explore this passage, we'll see how Jesus breaks down barriers and offers grace to all, regardless of past mistakes or societal labels. Just like the Samaritan woman, we too can come to the well and drink deeply of the living water that Jesus offers, which will never leave us thirsty.

We'll also hear about the movie "Women Talking," and how the women in the film chose to leave an isolated religious community to protect their children and uphold their faith. We'll see how this connects to the deep grace of God, which transcends differences and offers hope, possibilities, and new life.

As we reflect on these powerful stories, we'll be reminded of the depth of God's love and grace. No matter who we are or what we've done, we can come to the well and drink deeply of the living water that Jesus offers. So let's open our hearts and minds to the transformative power of God's love and grace, and be inspired to share this good news with others. May we all be like the women in "Women Talking," offering the peace of Christ to those around us, choosing new life by drinking from his living water.
