One of the things I love most about the bible is that God is always showing me new meaning in stories I’ve read hundreds of times – often through one of the amazing teaching pastors at The Austin Stone. Earlier this year was one of those times, when Ross Lester talked through the famous story of the woman at the well – which I now understand in a completely different way than I ever had before.
You can hear Ross’ sermon here – please give it a listen! He’s also written a great blog post on the subject that you can check out here:
