Welcome to Bethesda Frankel Estate Church

Do not call to mind the former things, or ponder the things of the past. Behold, I will do something new, now it will spring forth, will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, rivers in the desert.- Isaiah 43:18,19

John 4:4 - 42 (NIV) 4 Now he had to go through Samaria. 5 So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph.6 Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about noon ……….….. 41 And because of his words many more became believers. 42 They said to the woman, “We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world.”

v4-6 - Jesus waits for us in the most unexpected place. v7-18 - Jesus goes beyond the surface and reaches to the core of our issues in life. v19-26 - A God who seeks out true worshippers v27-38 - The field is ripe for harvest.
