Worship Leader Grace Balint sings "There is Power" God is serving up the Scriptures and has invited the whole world to come to His table and fill up our parched, famished souls.  He serves only the finest of life-giving food.

And as they went they were cleansed" (v. 13-14). The one who ran back to Jesus to thank Him was a Samaritan, a group of people whom the Jews regarded as i...
