Jesus At The Well
“Would you please give me a drink of water?” Jesus asked the woman that approached the well.

Where Is Jesus?
“We’ve looked everywhere and can’t find Him. He’s not with the group we thought and worse, nobody can remember seeing Him. Where can He be? What if He was kidnapped or a wild animal got Him?

[Bible: Matthew 6:14-15; Luke 17:4]
“How Should We Pray?”
“Would you teach us how we should pray?” the disciples asked Jesus. “When you talk to your Father in Heaven,” Jesus replied, “Your purpose should be to glorify Him and seek to learn His Will for you and protection from the temptation of evil.

“Why Do You Call Them Hypocrites?”
Jesus explained, “People that do good things for the wrong reason are hypocrites. For example, when giving to the poor, don’t attract a lot of attention. These people have already received their reward; but, rather, do good things for others, as to the Father in Heaven, who will reward appropriately.” [Bible: Matthew 6:1-4]
