The Groom in Search of His Bride

Mar 8, 2026  •  The Rev. Charlie Holt

Wells were where couples met in the stories of Genesis, and John 4 makes Jacob's well the meeting place of Jesus and a Samaritan woman with five husbands. The sermon reads the scene as the bridegroom seeking his bride and contrasts her brokenness with the respectability of Nicodemus. Those who know their need, it argues, respond most readily to grace, and only Jesus fills the God-shaped vacuum within.
