The Woman at the Well, as she's come to be referenced, was completely outside of community. She was lonely. About as lonely as can be. She had been rejected to the point of coming to her well alone at mid day in unbearable heat. But in the midst of such loneliness and rejection, Jesus saw her, dug past the dirt and met her with a living, life-giving sense of embrace that called her beyond her current station and upward to a life of holiness that led others to know that Jesus was the Messiah. Pastor Cami finishes our series on the Faces of Loneliness with a look at this famous story and how Jesus entered it with true Biblical Community.
Part 2: Seen by Jesus
January 21, 2024 • Taylor Schwab • Luke 19:1–10
Pastor Taylor continues our series looking at Faces of Loneliness in the Bible and how Jesus met them with true Biblical community. He takes us to the story of Zacchaeus and how he and Jesus went deep and shared transparency leading to Zacchaeus' inclusion in the community of Jesus' followers. But what does that look like for us today as we learn to have community with God and each other, and then minister to the lonely out in our surrounding communities?
