As we have learned, the Jews and the Samaritans each had their distinct place of worship. The woman wants to know, which one is right?

The post The Gospel Of John (Week 36) John 3:31-36 appeared first on Christ in the Rockies | Christian Retreats for Fathers & Sons in Colorado.
Today we begin this closing section of chapter three.
