The Woman at the Well: A Story of Belonging & Purpose

Jesus sees our hearts, including those places of fear, loneliness, doubt and insecurity that we strive to keep hidden from the world. Jesus sees beyond our sin to the places of brokenness, to the wounds that need to be healed before we are set free from the behaviors. Jesus meets us in our messiness to offer healing, acceptance and invites us to live with purpose!

Jesus also challenges us to be like him by including those that others might reject, judge or exclude.
