The Outsiders

Pastor Erwin McManus delivers a compelling new message on God's love for the outsider.

In the Gospel of John, Jesus interacted with a Samaritan woman at a well and asked her for a drink of water. This was a noteworthy conversation because Samaritans and Jews did not associate with one another at this time in history.

This story is a poignant illustration of how Jesus is willing to subvert the cultural norm to reach the outsider.

The woman went to the well at noon by herself, during the hottest time of day, because she was culturally ostracized. That recurring walk to the well was a reminder to her that she was unseen, unloved, and rejected. 

Through her talk with Jesus, she is reminded that God not only sees her but will go out of his way to connect and be seen with her.

If you've been burned by religion and have struggled to see yourself as an ‘insider,’ let this message encourage you that God is always fighting for the outsider to know his love.
