Finding Jesus in Unexpected Places // Jesus the Winemaker John 2:1-5 (ESV)“On the third day, there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus was also invited to the wedding with his disciples. When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, ‘They have no wine.' And Jesus said to her, ‘Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come.' His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.'” John 2:6-12 (ESV)“Now there were six stone water jars there for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, ‘Fill the jars with water.' And they filled them up to the brim. And he said to them, ‘Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast.' So they took it. When the master of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom and said to him, ‘Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine. But you have kept the good wine until now.' This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him. After this he went down to Capernaum, with his mother and his brothers and his disciples, and they stayed there for a few days.” John 21:25 (ESV)“Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.” Isaiah 25:6-9 (ESV)“On this mountain the Lord of hosts will make for all peoples a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wine, of rich food full of marrow, of aged wine well refined. And he will swallow up on this mountain the covering that is cast over all peoples, the veil that is spread over all nations. He will swallow up death forever; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces, and the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for the Lord has spoken. It will be said on that day, “Behold, this is our God; we have waited for him, that he might save us. This is the Lord; we have waited for him; let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.” 2 Corinthians 3:15-18 (ESV)“Yes, to this day whenever Moses is read a veil lies over their hearts. But when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.” Jesus' Actions… Honored Others Announced His Kingdom Provided Joy
OBBEDENDO IN OGNI TEMPOObbedienza significa disporsi completamente dentro il proposito di Dio con gioia.Quando ci sottomettiamo alla Sua volontà, diventiamo uno solo con Lui apprezzando ciò che lui apprezza e odiando ciò che Lui odia.L'ubbidienza non è altro che la conseguenza del timore di Dio che cresce dentro di noi.Quando Gesù guarì l'uomo cieco usando del fango, dimostrò un'ubbidienza senza confini al di là della nostra comprensione.Giovanni 9:6-7Anche durante le nozze di Cana, Gesù compí un miracolo incredibile ubbidiendo semplicemente a qualcosa che a noi suona fuori dal "normale". Giovanni 2Quando la nave che portava Paolo venne sorpresa dalla tempesta, l'ubbidienza salvò 276 vite andando contro la logica e l'intelligenza.Atti 27Tutto ciò ci insegna che nel momento in cui ubbidiamo, indipendentemente dai nostri ragionamenti, Dio procederà in maniera straordinaria cambiando la nostra condizione spirituale.Past Catherine Labate30-06-2025
O aumento da mistura de etanol na gasolina, de 27% para 30% (E30), foi aprovado pelo Conselho Nacional de Política Energética. O aumento de biocombustíveis, na gasolina e no diesel, deve movimentar o setor agrícola no Brasil. Para a produção do etanol, são utilizadas a cana e o milho. A pergunta que fica é a seguinte: qual das duas culturas atenderá maior parte da demanda? Vlamir Brandalizze projeta que o milho deve ficar com maior fatia da produção, já que o setor sucroenergético deve seguir com as atenções voltadas ao açúcar.

Was wine in the Bible just a calorie source—or something far richer? In this fascinating conversation, Dr. John Anthony Dunne, author of The Mountain Shall Drip Sweet Wine: A Biblical Theology of Alcohol, joins Dru Johnson to explore how wine and alcohol shaped ancient Israel's culture, theology, and imagination. Dr. Dunne traces how biblical wine reflected not only the scarcity and agricultural hopes of ancient life, but also a tradition of craftsmanship, connoisseurship, and divine blessing. Together they unpack why biblical wine wasn't just functional—it was symbolic of abundance, peace, and God's favor. From fermentation methods and ancient storage to the surprising case for white wine at the wedding at Cana, this episode challenges modern assumptions about alcohol in Scripture. Dunne explores why the biblical world viewed wine as inherently miraculous, why production was tied to the land promise, and how modern communion links us to Canaan's terroir in unexpected ways.

Stephanie welcomes back author Margaret Feinberg to explore Margaret's journey to better understand and personally experience the Holy Spirit, and share insights about how God's Spirit works in our everyday lives. Margaret's new book, "The God you need to know” invites us into a deep dive in the Person and Work of God's Holy Spirit. Many people think the Holy Spirit first appeared in Acts 2 (Pentecost), yet the Spirit has been active throughout the whole Bible. In the Old Testament, the Spirit is present from the very beginning, hovering over the waters in Genesis. The Holy Spirit empowers people in many diverse ways, such as giving wisdom to artisans like Bezalel or clothing Gideon with courage. Realizing this deepens our appreciation of God's ongoing presence and reminds us that spiritual experiences aren't limited to the extraordinary—they are woven throughout the ordinary. Margaret says, the story of the Spirit didn't start at Pentecost, and it doesn't only happen in dramatic moments. Where might you miss the Spirit at work in your daily routines? Margaret describes her research into how people experience the Holy Spirit, and discovered that there is no “cookie-cutter” approach. Some feel a nudge or inner voice, others recall Scripture, some sense physical warmth, and others have dreams or receive guidance in mundane activities. The Holy Spirit's creativity matches our unique personalities and learning styles. Together, Margaret and Stephanie wonder, How might God communicate with you in a way that matches your temperament? Are you overlooking His voice because you expect it to look a certain way? Margaret expands the definition of miracles from the spectacular to “the kindness of God on display.” She shares examples like God guiding someone home when lost or prompting a generous act. Sometimes miracles are obvious, but often, like at the wedding in Cana, they remain hidden to many—yet are miraculous all the same. So, together, they ask, What small moments in your life might be God's quiet miracles—His kindness breaking into your routine? Drawing from the story of Bezalel, Margaret points out the Spirit's role in empowering creativity. Making art, plans, connections, and even daily tasks can be inspired by God. We're all invited to “make” with the Spirit's inspiration, whether it's a beautiful loaf of bread or a supportive friendship. She prompts us to wonder, What is God inviting you to create or offer today? Margaret encourages us to pray simple prayers for the Holy Spirit's presence and guidance daily—paying attention to coincidences, inspirations, or “nudges.” While engaging with the Spirit may seem mysterious or even intimidating, it leads to freedom, peace, and transformation. She challenges each one of us: For the next week, ask, “Holy Spirit, help me notice Your presence today.” Journal what you sense, feel, or notice—especially in small ways. The Holy Spirit is alive and active—sometimes dramatic, often gentle, always personal. By lifting our expectations and slowing down to notice, we can discover God's kindness in new places and learn to walk more closely with Him, trusting that He meets us right where we are. Embrace God today, the God you need to know! MEET MARGARET FEINBERG Margaret Feinberg, one of America's most beloved Bible teachers, speaks at churches and conferences. Her books, including Taste and See and Fight Back With Joy, along with their corresponding Bible studies, have sold more than one million copies and received critical acclaim and national media coverage from the Associated Press, USA Today, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, and more. She was named by Christianity Today as one of fifty women most shaping culture and the church today. Margaret savors life with her husband, Leif, and their superpup, Zoom. Zoom makes an appearance in the interview on Gospel Spice, and you can catch him on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/gospelspice Now that you've read the official bio, here's the kick off your shoes and drink iced tea on the back porch version: Margaret spends most mornings with her good friends Coffee and God. Without Coffee, mornings would be difficult. Without God, life would be impossible. You'll often find Margaret (puppy-in-tow) adventuring outdoors—she enjoys hiking, river rafting, and scanning the night sky for the Northern Lights and shooting stars. She boasts an exceptionally dry sense of humor that she attributes to her Jewish father. Little known secret: He was recently inducted into the Surfer's Hall of Fame, and her mom earned her captain's license for 60-ton ships. They're pretty amazing. You'd like them. Married to Leif for more than a decade, Margaret's known for losing things like her sunglasses on her head, keys in her hand, or her phone for the 12th time in the same day. Luckily, Zoom hasn't been left anywhere… yet. Always up for an adventure, Margaret is known to drive 50 miles to chase down a food truck. She prefers watching comedies and laughing until her tummy aches over doing sit ups. More about Margaret here: https://margaretfeinberg.com/ ABOUT “THE GOD YOU NEED TO KNOW” Discover answers to your biggest questions about the Holy Spirit--and invite the Spirit to move in your life in powerful, real, tangible ways. The topic of the Holy Spirit can be…well, spirited…and one that sparks passionate discussion, especially among the most devout religious circles. What does it mean to be filled with the Holy Spirit? Are spiritual gifts still relevant today? Was the move of the Holy Spirit reserved for a specific age in history – or is the Spirit active now? The book traces Margaret's personal search for the Holy Spirit's work in her own life, rooted in childhood experiences and theological study. She unpacks the Spirit's role in the lives of biblical figures like Gideon, David, Ezekiel, and Bezalel, showing how God's presence has never been limited to a single moment in history. “Over the last few years, I've embarked on a deep exploration of the Holy Spirit prior to Pentecost, Margaret writes. “When we simply skip forward to the displays of the Spirit at Pentecost, we miss the faithful ways the Spirit of the Living God has been present and active with people throughout history. That's why we must explore the Holy Spirit on the road to Pentecost. The Spirit is not just the God we want to know; this is the God we need to know.” Everyone has questions about the Holy Spirit. If faith in Jesus provides my connection to God, then what role does the Holy Spirit play? How is the Spirit part of my day-to-day relationship with Christ? And why doesn't the Spirit's work play out in my life the way it seems to in the Bible? Why do other believers seem to have a connection to the Spirit, and I don't? Even longtime Jesus followers can feel stymied and confused. In The God You Need to Know, Margaret Feinberg, the bestselling author of Fight Back with Joy and Scouting the Divine, takes you on a journey through the Old Testament on the road to Pentecost to find answers to your burning questions about the Spirit. You will discover: The Spirit still working powerfully in unexpected places How to respond to spiritual promptings that often go ignored A deeper understanding of the Spirit's role in biblical events, especially the Old Testament How to encounter the Holy Spirit in fresh and practical ways Spiritual renewal through companionship with God The Holy Spirit's appearance on the Day of Pentecost was not a grand debut; it was the culmination of the Spirit's work since the beginning of time. You can experience a vibrant life with the same powerful flame. It's time to discover the God you need to know.

Olá, hoje é 24 de Junho de 2025, eu sou Wladimir Saavedra, Assessor de Agronegócios do Banco do Brasil em Araçatuba-SP, e hoje vamos falar sobre o cenário da cana-de-açúcar. O Acompanhamento de safra na região Centro-Sul, realizado pela Unica, divulgou os dados consolidados até Maio/2025. No acumulado da safra 2025/2026, a moagem de cana atingiu 124,77 milhões de toneladas, ante 141,54 milhões de toneladas registradas no mesmo período no ciclo anterior – retração de 11,85%. Sobre a qualidade da matéria-prima, também no acumulado da safra, o nível de Açúcares Totais Recuperáveis (ATR) marca 117,02 kg de ATR/t, registrando retração de 4,13% na comparação com o valor observado em igual posição no último ciclo. Apesar do mix mais açucareiro, registrado nesta safra até o momento (49,99%, contra 47,81% na passada), a produção de açúcar segue em queda quando comparada ao ciclo anterior — reflexo da menor moagem e da redução no ATR por tonelada de cana. Ainda sob predominância de fatores de baixa (maior expectativa de oferta global para as próximas temporadas), o mercado de açúcar passa por um movimento de ajuste. Projeção de uma safra menor no Brasil passa a atuar como limitador do viés de baixa e contribui para a sustentação dos preços O conflito entre Irã e Israel, tende a influenciar positivamente o açúcar, via etanol. Petróleo em alta encarece a gasolina e torna o etanol mais competitivo, reduzindo oferta do adoçante. O preço do etanol hidratado seguiu em queda no mercado spot do estado de São Paulo, no entanto, a intensidade da desvalorização já foi menor. Escalada do petróleo traz um novo movimento altista para o biocombustível. A combinação da tensão geopolítica, consolidação dos números da safra brasileira (quantidade e qualidade) e comportamento do mercado de açúcar (recompra de posições) podem criar ambiente favorável para movimento reprecificação do açúcar e aumento na demanda de etanol. Informações precisas e análises qualificadas são fundamentais para orientar as decisões por isso conte sempre com a assessoria especializada em agronegócios e com toda a equipe do Banco do Brasil. Fica a dica de crédito consciente e sustentável. Até a próxima!
Miracles aren't random acts of wonder but purposeful signs pointing us to Jesus Christ. They serve four key purposes: pointing us to Jesus, validating His message, meeting needs through compassion, and building faith in believers. Jesus' first miracle at Cana—turning water into wine—teaches us that miracles follow a pattern: invitation precedes intervention, desperation becomes declaration, obedience opens overflow, and ultimately, miracles magnify the Messiah. The pathway to experiencing miracles in our lives involves inviting Jesus daily, identifying our needs, practicing complete obedience, and sharing our experiences to inspire others.
«Nosotros nos parecía que éramos como langostas; y a ellos también así les parecíamos» (Números 13:33) Según el diablo, ¿cómo eres? ¿Creerá que eres un valiente y poderoso guerrero de Dios… o un debilucho a quien pueda darle una paliza cuando se le antoje? La respuesta a esa pregunta depende de ti. Lo comprendí cuando estaba estudiando acerca del pueblo de Israel, y de cómo fracasaron al no entrar en la Tierra Prometida. La clave de su fracaso se encuentra en las palabras: «Nosotros nos parecía que éramos como langostas; y a ellos también así les parecíamos» (Números 13:33). La razón por la cual los israelitas estaban tan aterrorizados de pelear contra los gigantes de Canaán no era porque esos gigantes fueran tan grandes, sino porque los israelitas se veían a sí mismos como enanos. La imagen que tenían de sí mismos fue la que los derrotó. El mismo principio se aplica en tu vida como creyente. La imagen que tengas de ti mismo es la que cuenta. Si a tus ojos eres un cristiano débil y sin poder, el diablo te atropellará tres, cuatro o más veces al día si no está ocupado. Pero cuando empieces a verte como un hijo de Dios, un conquistador del Dios todopoderoso, equipado con el mismo poder de Dios, el diablo querrá esfumarse al instante en el que te vea. El diablo preferirá hacer cualquier cosa antes que venir contra alguien que es valiente y osado, porque él mismo es un cobarde. A decir verdad, desde que Jesús se levantó de la tumba, el corazón de Satanás se ha turbado al escuchar ese nombre de la boca del que tiene fe en Cristo. Si no te ves fuerte en el Señor, necesitas cambiar tu opinión de ti mismo. Debes llenarte por completo de la Palabra de Dios y del Espíritu Santo para que vivas como un gigante espiritual. Cámbiale la perspectiva al diablo y deja que él descubra por sí mismo lo que se siente ser una langosta.

O que você vê: as promessas de Deus ou os gigantes à sua frente? A história dos espias enviados a Canaã é uma grande lição para nós: dez deles focaram nos obstáculos e cederam à incredulidade; apenas dois — Josué e Calebe — creram nas promessas de Deus, mesmo diante dos gigantes.

On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding. And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine.” Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does your concern have to do with…
Have you ever wondered what the story of Jesus turning water into wine at the wedding in Cana really teaches us about His glory and our relationship with Him? In this sermon, we explore John 2:1-12—Jesus's first public miracle at the wedding in Cana—not simply as a display of supernatural power, but as a revelation of Jesus's true glory, identity, and purpose. Jer encourages us not to get lost in the small details or questions, but to focus on the central truth: in this miracle, Jesus reveals Himself as the glorious Son, the better Bridegroom who provides abundantly for His people, and the sovereign Lord whose timing and actions are perfectly planned by God the Father. By transitioning from earthly to heavenly submission (as shown in how Jesus relates to His mother in this story), we're reminded that following Jesus means placing Him above all other relationships and distractions. Ultimately, the call is to trust, obey, and believe in Christ's glory, just as those at the wedding did, and to make His “manifested glory” the focus of our faith and lives.
In today's service, we explore John 2:1-11, the story of the wedding at Cana where Jesus performed His first miracle by turning water into wine. More than just a celebration-saving act, this story is rich with symbolic meaning, offering profound insights into transformation, divine timing, and the abundance of God's grace.Through a unique lens—what we call the psychological hermeneutic—we'll dive deep into how Scripture speaks to our souls, bypassing the ego and leading us into deeper truths. Where in your life do you feel like the “wine has run out,” and how might God be inviting you to trust in His power to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary?

Tú sabes lo que es ser extranjero, porque tú también fuiste extranjero en la tierra de Egipto». Éxodo 23:9.El pueblo de Israel vivió como inmigrante en las tierras de Egipto.

Génesis 31: 19La huida de Jacob de la casa de su suegro constituyo uno de los episodios bíblicos más fascinante. Sí, asi como acabas de leer, Jacob huyó de su suegro.En medio de este relato, encontramos una nota intrigante: «Mientras Labán fue a otra parte a trasquilar sus ovejas, Raquel le robó sus ídolos familiares» (Génesis 31: 19, la cursiva es nuestra). Aunque se supone que toda la familia de Jacob adora a Jehová, Raquel, sin embargo, hurta los ídolos de su padre. ¿Qué motivó a Raquel a cometer tal acto y qué lección podemos extraer de este episodio?En su comentario sobre Génesis, Gordon J. Wenham señala tres posibles razones para el hurto de los ídolos: (1) Los ídolos eran un amuleto de protección para el viaje a Canaán. (2) Tener los ídolos le daba el derecho de reclamar la herencia de Labán. (3) La mayoría de los dioses paganos estaban asociados a la fertilidad. Dado que Raquel no podía tener hijos (ver Génesis 30: 1), es posible que hubiera robado los ídolos en su búsqueda de la fertilidad.Si te fijas en las tres posibles razones que motivaron a Raquel a robar los ídolos de Labán, la lección del relato se torna obvia. Las tres implican algún tipo de beneficio para Raquel. Ese es el modus operandi del pecado. Nadie se despierta un día y decide dedicar su vida al pecado y perderse. El cambio siempre es lento y gradual, y comienza cuando creemos que estamos ganando algo con el pecado.En el Edén, Eva creyó que obtendría sabiduría (ver Génesis 3: 6), pero encontró la muerte. Acán creyó que estaba obteniendo un manto, doscientas monedas de plata y un lingote de oro, pero condenó a muerte a treinta y seis israelitas (ver Josué 7). Judas creyó que estaba ganando treinta monedas de plata, pero en realidad estaba traicionando al Hijo de Dios.Así que la próxima vez que llegues a la conclusión de que obtendrás algún beneficio al traicionar tus principios y fallarle a Dios, recuerda las palabras del Sabio: «Hijo mío, si los pecadores quieren engatusarte, ¡dales la espalda!» (Proverbios 1: 10, NTV).
Today, we highlight Cameroon, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Mauritius, Morocco, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Glorious Lord in the Church around the world. Thank you all for listening. We are looking at the earthly conversations Jesus had, as recorded in the gospels, to see if we are able to glean anything useful for our prayer lives. Our latest segment comes from John chapter 2 and the wedding party at Cana. We find not only is He the God of the impossible, but He can accomplish multiple things through one prayer.The prayer of Mary, "They have no wine." Began a miracle, at least 180 gallons of good wine. Although the miracle was a "quiet one," it accomplished all Mary had prayed, but it set the beginning of the evangelist team God would use to turn the world upside down. "This beginning of His signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory, and His disciples believed in Him." John 2:11Our So What?When we cast our prayers to the heart of our God, we scarce know how those prayers may be used in the plan of the Almighty. Therefore, we heed then the exhortations of E.M. Bounds and the apostle Paul:"Nothing is well done without prayer for the simple reason that it leaves God out of the account." " Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all to the glory of God." 1 Corinthians 10:31Brethren, let's pray for one another.

Guest speaker Chad Wenger explores how encounters with Jesus inspire extravagant trust, value, and belief. Through the stories of Mary, the servants at Cana, and the disciples, we see how Jesus reveals His glory in deeply personal ways. These moments are written so that we may believe that He is the Messiah and find life in His name.

Mi familia y yo viajamos muchas veces en el viejo auto blanco, para ir a lugares lejanos para adorar a Dios por medio de la música. De ida y de vuelta yo podía dormir plácidamente sin temor alguno y con el firme pensamiento, «papá maneja». Pero no era así cuando subía a otros autos y no era mi padre el conductor. No podía dormir en el camino por la preocupación de que algo malo podría ocurrir en la carretera.¿Por qué podía dormir cuando papá estaba al volante? Porque yo sabía que él me amaba demasiado como para permitir que algo malo me pasara bajo su cuidado. Yo le conocía, seguía sus indicaciones y consejos; así como también recibí regaños, pero siempre a sabiendas de que era por mi bien. Papá era mi héroe y yo le confiaba mi vida y mis decisiones.Nosotras hemos emprendido un viaje hacia la patria celestial en un transporte llamado «vida cristiana». Subimos a él, el día que el pastor sumergió nuestro cuerpo en las aguas del bautismo y la vida pasada quedó sepultada. Sin embargo, en ocasiones las dificultades del camino nos hacen querer parar el auto y buscar otras opciones; o lo que es peor, quisiéramos ser la conductora para hacerlo mejor.Cuando debíamos ir a algún lugar nuevo, desconocido para mí, no tenía problemas con quedarme dormida, pues sabía que papá estaba manejando y él nos llevaría hasta aquel lugar donde nos esperaban. De igual manera, con la certeza de que «Papá Dios» está al volante, sigamos adelante en el viaje hacia la patria celestial. Con esto en mente, no hay lugar para el desánimo, ni para el temor y mucho menos para la duda cuando los problemas se presentan.Tal como lo había prometido, Dios estuvo presente en toda la travesía que el pueblo de Israel hizo en el desierto y finalmente los introdujo en la tierra de Canaán. Ese mismo Dios sigue guiando a su pueblo y va a introducir a sus hijos que permanezcan fieles, en las mansiones celestiales. Es una linda promesa para seguir tranquila en el viaje, ¿verdad? Papá maneja.
Today's Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church, is celebrated annually on the Monday after Pentecost. It was officially added to the Church's calendar by Pope Francis in 2018. As outlined in an address by Pope John Paul II, the Blessed Mother's role as Mother of the Church can be traced back to four significant events. The first is the Annunciation, where Mary was called to give her consent to the coming of the Messianic Kingdom, which would take place with the formation of the Church. The second event which helps clarify the Blessed Mother's role in the formation of the Church happens at the wedding feast of Cana. Mary asks her Son to exercise his Messianic power in changing water into wine, implanting faith in the lives of the first century disciples. The third event takes place at Calvary. The Crucified Christ proclaims Mary's motherhood of all the faithful when he proclaims: “Woman, behold your Son.” This was not just addressed to John the Evangelist, Pope John Paul II explained, but to all the faithful, including ourselves 1992 years later. The fourth instance of Mary's motherhood of the Church is recognized by St. Luke in Acts 1:14 in today's alternative reading, in which Luke describes the early Christians gathering together in prayer. Specifically, it states that all the apostles, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers were present and united in prayer. This verse follows our Lord's Ascension into heaven as they were waiting for the arrival of the promised Holy Spirit. The verse highlights the unity of the early Church and the Blessed Mother's prayerful presence imploring the gift of the Holy Spirit for all, the same Holy Spirit that had overshadowed her during the Annunciation. The Church is like a mother, generating life by giving birth, but also helping her children to grow through the sacraments and accompanying us through our entire lives. For St. Jerome, “The Church is nothing other than the souls of those who believe in Christ,” carefully watched over by the Mother of the Church, our Most Blessed Virgin Mary. Blessings,Fr. Kevin MacDonald, C.Ss.R.
John 4:46-47 Therefore He came again to Cana of Galilee, where He had made the water wine. And there was a royal official whose son was sick at Capernaum. When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and was imploring Him to come down and heal his son; for he was at the point of death. Let's begin today with a few facts. The journey to Cana from Sychar was about 40 miles, or probably 2–3 days. The royal official was probably a Gentile, an official in Herod Antipas' administration, who was the Tetrarch of Galilee. The distance from Cana to Capernaum was about 20 miles over hill country, a long day's journey by foot. These facts help us keep things in perspective. Nothing is going to happen fast if everything goes at the normal pace. The situation given by the Father to Jesus was dire. The official's son was probably at the point of death before the father left for Cana to meet Jesus, so you can imagine the urgency of the official once they met. Having heard that Jesus was in Cana, he believed Jesus was the boy's only hope of healing. He believed it enough to undertake a 40-mile round trip. Under the circumstances, I think he would have taken the fastest means possible, which would have been horseback. That's simply conjecture. The apostle John didn't give us that information. There are a few encouragements I get from these verses. First, God may allow sickness in order to reveal His glory through His Son. The condition of the official's son was totally in God's hands. For this story to be in the Bible, the son had to be sick to the point of death. In fact, that had to be true of everyone Jesus healed. So, my takeaway is that regardless of how dire the circumstances are, don't panic, the situation is necessary for the glory of God. Since my purpose is to live to love with Jesus for the glory of God, it seems wise and faithful to ask, “How does God want to glorify Himself through His Son in this situation that He has given to Him and to me? Then pray, listen, receive, and release into the situation what I'm given. A second encouragement is that God reveals His will by giving faith where He plans to work. Jesus knew where the Father was working by the attitudes and responses of the people God put in His path. I think of 2 Chronicles 16:9 “For the eyes of the Lord move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His.” Where Jesus saw faith at work, He knew His Father was working, so then He worked with His Father. He was living to love with His Father. In this case, the official demonstrated faith. He heard Jesus was in Cana. His son was desperately ill, and there was no other hope. He knew Jesus was a healer and miracle worker. He made the trip to find Jesus to beg Him to come and heal his son because he believed Jesus was capable of healing his son. As we walk with Jesus, there will be times when we face dire circumstances and people with an urgent need. May we be so filled with the Spirit of Christ that we can discern where the Father is working and trust in Him to give us what we need to glorify His name at that time. I invite you to become a partner in our ministry. Would you pray about becoming a regular supporter of Elijah Ministries and the Live to Love with Jesus ministry? I hope you will receive the joy and benefit of “giving it forward,” so others may receive encouragement to turn their hearts to God and to live to love with Jesus.

We glorify God by making disciples of all nations. ========== Connection Card https://istrouma.org/myinfo "Repent and Get Back In the Game" John 21 John 21:1-25 Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples, by the Sea of Galilee. It happened this way: Simon Peter, Thomas (also known as Didymus), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together. “I'm going out to fish,” Simon Peter told them, and they said, “We'll go with you.” So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing. Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus. He called out to them, “Friends, haven't you any fish?” “No,” they answered. He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish. Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, “It is the Lord,” he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water. The other disciples followed in the boat, towing the net full of fish, for they were not far from shore, about a hundred yards. When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with fish on it, and some bread. Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.” So Simon Peter climbed back into the boat and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn. Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” None of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. Jesus came, took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish. This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead. When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.” Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.” The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my sheep. Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.” Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, “Follow me!” Peter turned and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved was following them. (This was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper and had said, “Lord, who is going to betray you?”) When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?” Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me.” Because of this, the rumor spread among the believers that this disciple would not die. But Jesus did not say that he would not die; he only said, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you?” This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who wrote them down. We know that his testimony is true. Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written. 1. Peter wasn't doing anything WRONG, he just wasn't doing WHAT HE WAS CALLED TO DO! vs. 3 2. Jesus gives Peter a GENTLEREMINDER of his PURPOSE. vs. 4-14 3. Jesus RESTORES Peter to his RIGHTFUL PLACE- as a DISCIPLEMAKER! vs. 15-17 4. Peter shows us the most common PITFALL to REPENTANCE - COMPARISON and RATIONALIZATION. vs. 20-23
This message describes how marriage was designed to reflect the love of Jesus, not just satisfy our personal happiness. Looking at the story of the wedding at Cana, we see that Jesus cares deeply about relationships and steps in when the joy runs out...if we invite Him. This sermon challenges us to examine what we're pouring into our marriage and how our love can lead our spouse to see Jesus more clearly. Whether your relationship feels full or empty, Jesus still knows how to turn water into wine.

Ever felt like you were called… but stuck in a season of “not yet”? You’re not alone. Whether it’s King David or King Jesus, even God’s greatest waited between their anointing and appointing. But take heart—your “in-between” is never wasted. Key Takeaways You’re Sealed and Claimed – God put His Spirit in you as a guarantee of what’s to come (2 Cor 1:21-22). Anointed ≠ Immediately Appointed – David waited decades; Jesus waited years. Waiting doesn’t mean forgotten. God Doesn’t Rush – He moves in perfect timing (Isaiah 60:22). You’re not behind schedule—you’re being prepared. Your Wait Has a Purpose – David gathered strength and support; Jesus discipled and taught. Your delay is part of your development. Join the Conversation How are you holding onto faith in your waiting season? What has God been refining in you while you wait? Share your reflections using #LifeaudioNetwork. And remember: if He’s anointed you, He will appoint you—right on time.
In this follow-up to our previous lesson on the symbolism of John Chapter 2, we examine the rich cultural and spiritual backdrop of the Wedding at Cana. What did John mean when he said it was the “third day”? At first glance, this might seem like a small detail, but when viewed through the lens of Jewish wedding traditions, it opens up a powerful layer of meaning that brings the Cana scene to life. In this lesson, we'll explore: - The cultural significance of weddings on the third day of the week in ancient Jewish practice - How these traditions align beautifully with the wedding at Cana - The symbolism behind the miracle of water turned into wine. - Parallels to ancient Near Eastern beliefs—especially how miracles like this one were seen as signs of a god's presence, as in the case of the Greek god Dionysus Ultimately, we'll see how this first “sign” reveals God's transformative power through Jesus, turning the ordinary into the extraordinary.
I invite you to join me for a special journey through John Chapter 2, a remarkable section of Scripture that contains two profound events: the Wedding at Cana and Jesus' cleansing of the Temple courts. Though seemingly unrelated, these stories are deeply connected—and together, they reveal powerful lessons that still speak to our spiritual journey today. Throughout this series, we will explore the rich layers of meaning found within John 2:
Secular historian Tom Holland has shown how the Christian revolution and its concept of sacrificial love has changed our world – so much so that we tend to take it for granted. Yet while love remains central to our lives and culture, it is often misunderstood and distorted. Jesus commands his friends to love one another as he loved them, and in John's gospel we see how it's practical and concrete: Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman; his provision at the wedding at Cana; how he deals with Judas, and more ... Passages in Deuteronomy help us understand Jesus' biblical concept of love and reject the way our modern culture distorts and practices “love."
2:1 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: 2:2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. 2:3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. 2:4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. 2:5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. 2:6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. 2:7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. 2:8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. 2:9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, 2:10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.

«Cuando ustedes hayan cruzado el Jordán y entren en la tierra de Canaán, deben desalojar de su presencia a todos los habitantes del país, expulsarán a los que habitan la tierra, y habitarán en ella, porque yo se la he dado a ustedes en propiedad» (Números 33:51-53) Dios te ha dado una Tierra Prometida. Es un lugar donde fluye leche y miel, donde todo lo que necesitas será suplido. Un lugar donde puedes mantener al pecado debajo de tus pies mientras gobiernas y reinas con Cristo. Un lugar donde ningún arma forjada contra ti prosperará. Un lugar donde puedes sentarte con Cristo en lugares celestiales, sobre principados y potestades, —lejos de la opresión—. Al estudiar la Palabra de Dios, descubrirás que ésa es una descripción precisa de la clase de victoria que deberías experimentar en Cristo; no después de tu muerte, sino aquí y ahora. Quizás digas: “Sí, me parece una gran teoría, pero aquí sigo en la lucha diaria. El arriendo mensual ya venció y todo lo que veo es enfermedad, opresión y temor. Esto no se parece en nada a una Tierra Prometida”. Eso te sucede porque ¡todavía sigues permitiendo que el diablo viva allí! Sabes, él no recogerá las cosas y se irá sólo porque Dios te ha prometido la victoria. Tienes que echarlo fuera. Pero no dejes que ese pensamiento te atemorice. Dios te ha dado el poder para hacerlo. ¿Recuerdas lo que dijo Jesús?: «Miren que yo les he dado a ustedes poder para aplastar serpientes y escorpiones, y para vencer a todo el poder del enemigo, sin que nada los dañe» (Lucas 10:19). Es más, ¡el diablo ha sido totalmente desarmado! En Colosenses 2:15, dice: “[Dios] desarmó a los poderes y a las potestades que estaban en nuestra contra, e hizo una valiente demostración exhibiéndolos públicamente, triunfando sobre ellos en…[la cruz]” (AMP). No tienes razón alguna para sentirte intimidado por el diablo. Jesús lo derrotó y lo inhabilitó mediante Su muerte y resurrección. El diablo no puede derrotarte a menos que lo dejes. Todo lo que el diablo puede hacer es lanzarte amenazas sin ninguna clase de fundamento. Pero ¡ten cuidado! Esas amenazas pueden detenerte bruscamente si las crees. Así que no lo hagas. En lugar de eso, cree en la Palabra de Dios. Usa la Palabra y el Nombre de Jesús para echar fuera al diablo hasta de las cosas más pequeñas de Tu vida. No le permitas quedarse en tu territorio. Oblígalo a preparar sus maletas y largarse. Es hora de que poseas tu Tierra Prometida.

The episode ends at 16:50Greetings from the paddock to the United States, Canada, Barbados, the Dominican Republic, Trinidad and Tobago, and Jamaica. Geography not being one of my strengths, I did not realize so many countries are considered in North America, but here they are; thank you all for listening to the podcast and sharing in the kingdom's concert of prayer.The wedding of Cana demonstrates the impossible God doing the impossible! At Mary's enigmatic request, Jesus asserts that His time has not yet come. In the language of Mary and Jesus, that meant, "I'll take care of it." Jesus turned at least 120 gallons of water into the finest of wines in a moment. This miracle, however, was not for the masses, but for the wedding guests. For at least five of the guests, there was a special purpose, but today we learn:Our So What?We pray in faith, and looking to God for the answers, we will see those seemingly small miracles that the Biblical characters experienced, too. Next time, we will see how our simplest prayers sometimes ripple out to have meaning far beyond all our expectations. "Now to Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, 21 to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen." Ephesians 3:20-21Brethren, let's pray for one another. "What a man is on his knees before God, that he is and nothing more."

John 21:1-14 Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples, by the Sea of Galilee. It happened this way: 2 Simon Peter, Thomas (also known as Didymus), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together. 3 “I'm going out to fish,” Simon Peter told them, and they said, “We'll go with you.” So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing. You're Not Caught Out for That After you've been caught out, don't go back in. 4 Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus. 5 He called out to them, “Friends, haven't you any fish?” “No,” they answered. 6 He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish. After obedience comes overflow. 7 Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, “It is the Lord,” he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water. 8 The other disciples followed in the boat, towing the net full of fish, for they were not far from shore, about a hundred yards. After you've been caught out, you will need others to help carry the blessings. 9 When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with fish on it, and some bread. 10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.” 11 So Simon Peter climbed back into the boat and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn. 12 Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” None of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. 13 Jesus came, took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish. Jesus pursues a relationship above results. 14 This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead. Jesus turns disappointments into disciples.
As We Wait | May 18, 2025Pastor Bria BradshawJohn 21:1-3 ESV - After this Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias, and he revealed himself in this way. 2 Simon Peter, Thomas (called the Twin), Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together. 3 Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.” They said to him, “We will go with you.” They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.✓ WHAT'S FAMILIAR✓ WHAT'S CONTROLLABLEI can let the waiting change me, or I can let God change me in the waiting. AS WE WAITJohn 21:4-8 (ESV) Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. 5 Jesus said to them, “Children, do you have any fish?” They answered him, “No.” 6 He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish. 7 That disciple whom Jesus loved therefore said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment, for he was stripped for work, and threw himself into the sea. 8 The other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, but about a hundred yards off.1. WHO WE DEPEND ON CHANGES.Question - Where is God inviting you to no longer depend on you? John 21:9-14 (ESV) When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire in place, with fish laid out on it, and bread. 10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.” 11 So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, 153 of them. And although there were so many, the net was not torn. 12 Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” Now none of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. 13 Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and so with the fish. 14 This was now the third time that Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he was raised from the dead.2. WHERE WE GO SEARCHING CHANGES.Question - What have you been out searching for? John 21:15-17 (ESV) When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.” 16 He said to him a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.” 17 He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, “Do you love me?” and he said to him, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.3.

Today's Topics: Gospel - John 2, 1-11 - On the third day there was a wedding in Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus and His disciples were also invited to the wedding. When the wine ran short, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” And Jesus said to her, “Woman, how does your concern affect me? My hour has not yet come.” His mother said to the servers, “Do whatever he tells you." Now there were six stone water jars there for Jewish ceremonial washings, each holding twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus told them, “Fill the jars with water.” So they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, “Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter.” So they took it. And when the headwaiter tasted the water that had become wine, without knowing where it came from (although the servers who had drawn the water knew), the headwaiter called the bridegroom and said to him, “Everyone serves good wine first, and then when people have drunk freely, an inferior one; but you have kept the good wine until now.” Jesus did this as the beginning of his signs in Cana in Galilee and so revealed his glory, and his disciples began to believe in him. 1, 2, 3, 4) Father William Wagner, ORC, joins Terry to discuss the Wedding feast at Cana and the role of the Blessed Mother in the Economy of Salvation

In his sermon, Pastor Jeff Wickwire emphasizes the significance of mothers, particularly focusing on Mary, the mother of Jesus, and her profound advice to simply "do whatever He says." He explores the story of Jesus' first miracle at the wedding in Cana, highlighting how inviting Jesus into our lives is crucial for experiencing transformation and miracles. Pastor Wickwire explains that our lack, whether it be hope, love, or fulfillment, can only be filled by turning to Jesus, who invites us to trust Him and obey His guidance. Ultimately, he encourages the congregation to open their hearts to Jesus and follow His teachings, as true change and divine intervention occur when we act in faith. 05.11.2025 | Mother's Day 2025: Water to Wine | Pastor Jeff Wickwire
He was one of the Twelve. He was born in Cana of Galilee; some accounts say that he was the bridegroom at the wedding at Cana, where the Lord Jesus performed his first sign (John ch. 2). After receiving the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, he preached the Gospel in Africa; he was privileged to die by crucifixion, like his Lord.
Hers is the greatest motherhood story of all time. You know who she is: Mary! Her story has been told many times, but how grateful we are that it's recorded in Scripture. Whatever God's reasons for choosing this particular woman to give birth to Jesus, we know that she must have loved the Lord with all her heart.And just think how her head and heart must have been spinning when the angel visited her and told her the special job God was going to give her!Luke 1:46–48 says, “And Mary said: ‘My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant.'” We know little about her beyond that, although we are given some fascinating details: she socialized with her Son, as we see at the wedding in Cana. And of course, she was with Him at His death. No mother should have to endure that, but Mary was very strong. Her toughness and love ring like a bell through time. We remember her way of finding patience and faith.Maybe the most amazing thing about her is that God trusted Mary with an initial secret that would have floored most people! She handled it, though. The mother of Jesus was ready when her time came.Let's pray.Lord, Mary, the mother of Jesus, shows us a great example of love. It is also a mystery of sorts for us, but we know that this amazing mother is experiencing supernatural joy, forever, in Heaven! In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

JOHN 4:43-54 - NOBLEMANS SON - BRIAN SUMNER - 2025JOHN 4:34 "Now after the two days He departed from there and went to Galilee. 44 For Jesus Himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country. 45 So when He came to Galilee, the Galileans received Him, having seen all the things He did in Jerusalem at the feast; for they also had gone to the feast.46 So Jesus came again to Cana of Galilee where He had made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum. 47 When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and implored Him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. 48 Then Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will by no means believe.”49 The nobleman said to Him, “Sir, come down before my child dies!”50 Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your son lives.” So the man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way. 51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him and told him, saying, “Your son lives!”52 Then he inquired of them the hour when he got better. And they said to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.” 53 So the father knew that it was at the same hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives.” And he himself believed, and his whole household.54 This again is the second sign Jesus did when He had come out of Judea into Galilee."To support this channel and partner with Brian in Ministryhttps://www.briansumner.net/support/For more on Brianhttp://www.briansumner.nethttps://www.instagram.com/BRIANSUMNER/https://www.facebook.com/BRIANSUMNEROFFICIALTo listen to Brians Podcast, click below.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Purchase Brians Marriage book at https://www.amazon.com/Never-Fails-Da...Brian is a full time "Urban Missionary" both locally and internationally with a focus on MISSIONS - MARRIAGES - MINISTRY.

May 4, 2025. Fr. Tyler's homily for Carroll's Mass of Sacraments where 10 students received sacraments in the Catholic church this evening. Pray for us! Gospel John 21:1-19 At that time, Jesus revealed himself again to his disciples at the Sea of Tiberias. He revealed himself in this way. Together were Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, Zebedee's sons, and two others of his disciples. Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said to him, "We also will come with you." So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing. When it was already dawn, Jesus was standing on the shore; but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus. Jesus said to them, "Children, have you caught anything to eat?" They answered him, "No." So he said to them, "Cast the net over the right side of the boat and you will find something." So they cast it, and were not able to pull it in because of the number of fish. So the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord." When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he tucked in his garment, for he was lightly clad, and jumped into the sea. The other disciples came in the boat, for they were not far from shore, only about a hundred yards, dragging the net with the fish. When they climbed out on shore, they saw a charcoal fire with fish on it and bread. Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish you just caught." So Simon Peter went over and dragged the net ashore full of one hundred fifty-three large fish. Even though there were so many, the net was not torn. Jesus said to them, "Come, have breakfast." And none of the disciples dared to ask him, "Who are you?" because they realized it was the Lord. Jesus came over and took the bread and gave it to them, and in like manner the fish. This was now the third time Jesus was revealed to his disciples after being raised from the dead. When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" Simon Peter answered him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my lambs." He then said to Simon Peter a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Simon Peter answered him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Tend my sheep." Jesus said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was distressed that Jesus had said to him a third time, "Do you love me?" and he said to him, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you." Jesus said to him, "Feed my sheep. Amen, amen, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to dress yourself and go where you wanted; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go." He said this signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when he had said this, he said to him, "Follow me."

On today's episode, host Hunter invites us into day 122 of our journey through Scripture, focusing on First Chronicles 16, Psalm 106, and Matthew 19. Together, we reflect on God's enduring faithfulness, the story of Israel's wanderings, and Jesus' teachings about marriage, hard-heartedness, and what it truly means to follow him. As we listen, Hunter guides us to see how all of Scripture points to Christ, the bridegroom, as God's answer for our hearts. Alongside our Bible readings, we'll spend time in prayer—seeking God's purpose, asking to become instruments of his peace, and remembering that we are deeply loved. So, grab your Bible and join us as we warm ourselves by the fire of God's love and continue to grow together, day by day. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Jesus is the answer for our hard hearts. In today's reading from Matthew 19, Jesus says something remarkable about the law: it is a concession to our hardheartedness. The laws given, even about divorce, are an acknowledgment of our rebellion, our tendency to live life apart from God. God gives the law not as his ultimate desire for us, but as a way to deal with our brokenness and stubbornness. But that is not where the story ends. The answer is not the law. The answer is Jesus himself. Throughout scripture, we see marriage as a significant signpost. It was at a wedding in Cana that Jesus performed his first miracle, turning water into wine. And at the end of time, there is the promise of a great marriage feast—the marriage supper of the Lamb. All of scripture is pointing to this bridegroom, our Lord Jesus, who longs to transform our hearts and give us new life. He is God's answer to our heart's deepest need, far surpassing anything the law can do. The religious leaders came to Jesus trying to corner him with the law, but Jesus was not distracted by their traps. Instead, he offered freedom—the kind of healing only he can bring to hearts that are hardened by sin, disappointment, and pride. Jesus is the one who comes near with compassion, who makes all things new, who invites us to leave behind our old ways and follow him into abundant life. This is the answer for us today. Not more rules or burdens, but the loving, transforming presence of Jesus. The one who turns water into wine, the one who welcomes the little children, the one who calls rich and poor alike to lay down what stands in the way and receive the treasure of his kingdom. And that's the prayer of my heart today: that I will let him. That's what I long for my own soul, for my family, and for you. That we would open our hearts to the bridegroom, to the only one who can truly make us new and set us free. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.

In this sermon, Pastor Rob McCoy explores John 2:1-11, the miracle of Jesus turning water into wine at the wedding in Cana, presenting it as a profound encapsulation of the Christian life. He emphasizes marriage as God's design to resolve human loneliness, surviving the fall in Eden, and reflects on its microcosmic representation of Christ's love for the church. Pastor Rob highlights Jesus' choice to reveal His glory at a wedding, underscoring the importance of family and obedience to God's will, as exemplified by Mary's directive to “do whatever He says.” Through the servants' faithful actions and the transformation of water into superior wine, Pastor Rob calls believers to trust Jesus with life's problems, reject legalism, and embrace the joy and liberty found in serving Him, encouraging a life of faith that brings glory to God.Verse References:John 2:1-11, Isaiah 41:10, Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:7-9, 1 Corinthians 10:23, Ephesians 5:15-16, John 15:13, Ephesians 5:22-25, John 4:4, 1 John 4:19Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information!https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used to meet various need in the body, please email info@godspeak.com.
