In this sermon Pastor Jeff presents part 2 of the story of Jesus with the Samaritan woman at the well. Certainly the interaction with this Jewish man goes nothing like the woman is expecting. And St John tries to make clear that we should see ourselves as the woman in this story. We are as […]
“The Woman at the Well” is such a well-known story that we are prone to make to little of it, or to emphasize aspects of the story inappropriately. Pastor Jeff Lavalette walks us through this in his sermon.

Jeff Lavalette John 3:22-30 St John abruptly ends the story of Jesus and Nicodemus in Chapter 3 of his gospel, but he tends to do that (abrupt transitions) for a reason. But the next event might seem equally “random”, and when attention turns to Jesus voice? Well, what are we to make of that?
Chapter 3 of St John’s Gospel does not end with verse 16, although it is often quoted as if it is the last verse. Pastor Jeff explains the verses which follow in today’s sermon.
Should be no surprise that John 3:16 is one of the most well-known Bible verses ever. Do you know which might be next? (Listen to the sermon!) One short verse, yet Pastor Jeff extracts a lot of us to digest.
What does the bronze serpent lifted up by Moses in the wilderness have to do with Jesus? Jesus connects the two for Nicodemus in the third chapter of John’s gospel.
Nicodemus wonders what it means to be born again. We hear Jesus’ answer in John’s gospel account. Listen as Jeff Lavalette describes the encounter and its significance.
