  8. “Jesus In Samaria - Conversing With The Lost” • John says it was “near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph” (4:5; Gen 48:22) • When the Lord arrived at Jacob’s well, he sat down, “being wearied with his journey” (4:6). • “Sixth hour” - about noon?

Could this be the Christ?" 30 Then they went out of the city and came to Him.

  16. “Jesus In Samaria - Conversing With The Lost” John 4:39-42 (NKJV) 39 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, "He told me all that I ever did." 40 So when the Samaritans had come to Him, they urged Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days. 41 And many more believed because of His own word. 42 Then they said to the woman, "Now we believe, not because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard Him and we know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world."

  20. 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 (NKJV) 1 Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers, 3 remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father,

  21. 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 (NKJV) 4 knowing, beloved brethren, your election by God. 5 For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit and in much assurance, as you know what kind of men we were among you for your sake. 6 And you became followers of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit, 7 so that you became examples to all in Macedonia and Achaia who believe.

  22. 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 (NKJV) 8 For from you the word of the Lord has sounded forth, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place. Your faith toward God has gone out, so that we do not need to say anything. 9 For they themselves declare concerning us what manner of entry we had to you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, 10 and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.
