Jesus’ Refreshing Good News (5 of 5)
Series: Jesus Refreshes

John 4: 1-38
INTRODUCTION: We’re finishing up our mini-series today on “Times of Refreshing” with a look at refreshing “Good News.” In John 4 we read of Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well. She came away from that encounter refreshed by Jesus’ attitude, service, living water and worship. Today we finish up with the refreshing good news.
Sara Morgan was sick and tired of all the negative news coming out of the mainstream media outlets. So, she spent one week forcing herself to get her news from positive news network sites.

In an online article, she shares the top four good news websites.
