Speaker: Rev.Ben Sheppard
Message Title: Heart Felt Cries
Responsive Reading: John 4:4-26
 John 4:4 ¶ And he must needs go through Samaria.
 5 Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
 6 Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.
 7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
 8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
 9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
 10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
 11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?
 12  Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
 13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
 14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
 15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
 16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
 17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
 18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.
 19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
 20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
 25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
 26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.

'Twas the night before Christmas

 'Twas the night before Christmas & out on the ranch

The pond was froze over & so was the branch.

The snow was piled up belly-deep to a mule.

The kids were all home on vacation from school,

And happier young folks you never did see-

Just all sprawled around a-watchin' TV.

Then suddenly, some time around 8 o'clock,

There came a surprise that gave them a shock!

The power went off, the TV went dead!

When Grandpa came in from out in the shed

With an armload of wood, the house was all dark.

"Just what I expected," they heard him remark

"Them power line wires must be down from the snow.

Seems sorter like times on the ranch long ago."

"I'll hunt up some candles," said Mom. "With their light,

And the fireplace, I reckon we'll make out all right."

The teen-agers all seemed enveloped in gloom.

Then Grandpa came back from a trip to his room,

Uncased his old fiddle & started to play

That old Christmas song about bells on a sleigh.

Mom started to sing, & 1st thing they knew

Both Pop & the kids were all singing it, too.

They sang Christmas carols, they sang "Holy Night,"

Their eyes all a-shine in the ruddy firelight.

They played some charades Mom recalled from her youth,

And Pop read a passage from God's Book of Truth.

They stayed up till midnight-and, would you believe,

The youngsters agreed 'twas a fine Christmas Eve.

Grandpa rose early, some time before dawn;

And when the kids wakened, the power was on..

"The power company sure got the line repaired quick,"

Said Grandpa - & no one suspected his trick.

Last night, for the sake of some old-fashioned fun,

He had pulled the main switch - the old Son-of-a-Gun!

 2 ¶ With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
 3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
 4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
