In “Love Made Visible in the Listening,” Rev. Beth Demme explores Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman in John 4, revealing how Jesus crosses deep cultural and religious boundaries simply by sitting down, listening, and truly seeing another person. The sermon challenges long-standing assumptions about the woman’s story and invites us to notice how easily people can be reduced to labels that keep us from recognizing their dignity. When we learn to listen and see others the way Christ does, love becomes visible in our communities and in the world.
