Friends of the Rosary,As the Catechism of the Catholic Church states (863), the Church is, and remains, apostolic through the successors of St. Peter and the other apostles. All the faithful share a vocation to the apostolate of spreading Christianity on earth.We read today (Matthew 9:36—10:8) how Christ the Lord summoned his twelve disciples and gave them authority to cure the sick from any disease, raise the dead, drive out demons, and proclaim: “The kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”They were: “Simon called Peter, and his brother Andrew;James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John;Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the tax collector;James, the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddeus;Simon from Cana, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.”Also, this Sunday we see how Jesus' heart — his sacred heart — “was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd.”The Lord was moved with pity because he wanted each person in that crowd to respond to his love.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

OS PECADOS DE SODOMA – ENCONTRO COM AS PROFECIAS 006 A profecia que vamos estudar neste momento foi feita por dois anjos a um homem chamado Ló, mais ou menos no ano de 1898 AC. Está em Gênesis 19:12 e 13. “Disseram aqueles homens a Ló: Tens alguém mais aqui? Teu genro, teus filhos, tuas filhas, e todos quantos tens nesta cidade, tira-os fora deste lugar, porque nós vamos destruir este lugar, pois o seu clamor se tem avolumado diante do Senhor, e o Senhor nos enviou a destruí-lo”. Para compreendermos bem esta profecia, precisamos analisar outros pontos que formam a base dessa drástica ação de Deus sobre Sodoma e Gomorra. Abraão e Ló eram parentes. Abraão era tio de Ló. Os dois saíram juntos de Ur dos Caldeus, em busca da terra prometida. Após alguns anos de convivência, os pastores dos rebanhos de Abraão e os de Ló começaram a brigar pelos melhores pastagens (Gênesis 13:7-9). Havia necessidade urgente de separação. E o que chamou a minha atenção foi a maneira de Abraão resolver o problema. Ele reuniu-se com o sobrinho e disse que não havia necessidade de estarem brigando, porque eles eram irmãos. Que grande lição! O verdadeiro irmão não briga. Se é para ter briga, é melhor se separar e continuarem amigos. Hoje, muitos agem de forma contrária. Brigam, se ofendem, se destroem, mesmo se chamando irmãos. Coube então a Ló a tarefa de escolher onde estabelecer as suas tendas. Imagino os dois em pé na parte mais alta da Palestina e Ló, olhando para o Oriente, e percebendo que o vale do Jordão era bem regado, escolhe aquela porção do território. Neste lugar havia muita água, muito pasto e boas cidades. Ló foi para o Oriente em direção à Sodoma, e Abraão foi para Canaã. A profecia do programa de hoje tem a ver com a família de Ló e os habitantes de Sodoma. Então vamos conhecer um pouco da história de Sodoma e sua localização. A cidade de Sodoma estava numa planície, com mais quatro cidades. Ficava na parte sul do Mar Morto. Essa planície era chamada de o jardim do Senhor. As colheitas eram abundantes, as flores enchiam o ar de perfume. O comércio era intenso, as caravanas do mundo inteiro passavam por ali. A riqueza também era característica de Sodoma. A ociosidade e a riqueza deram origem ao luxo e ao orgulho. Em Sodoma havia regozijo e orgia, banquetes e bebedice. O povo desafiava abertamente a Deus e a lei do Senhor; a violência era aceita por quase todas as pessoas. Em nossos dias isso, infelizmente, se repete. Muitos, inclusive jovens, parece que não têm mais nada a fazer. Como têm dinheiro pegam seus carros, enchem de amigos e saem para os bares em busca de diversão. Bebem o quanto podem e depois saem pelas ruas participando de rachas, sem nenhuma responsabilidade, matando e ferindo inocentes, tantas vezes. Um dos grandes problemas de Sodoma era a perversão sexual, em todas as suas esferas. Os relacionamentos homossexuais, condenados com veemência pela Bíblia Sagrada, eram praticados e incentivados abertamente. Como hoje em dia. A Bíblia chama isso tudo de “abominação” (Levítico 18:22).  Porém é importante ressaltar que a repulsa de Deus é ao pecado. Ele ama o pecador e está pronto para perdoar e transformar, se houver interesse. No caso que estamos estudando hoje, Deus enviou dois anjos com um recado urgente. Ló deveria deixar a cidade o mais rápido possível pois Sodoma seria destruída. O texto bíblico sugere que os habitantes de Sodoma estavam decididos a abusar sexualmente dos dois seres que trouxeram o recado divino ao sobrinho de Abraão. A situação ficou muito tensa junto à porta da casa de Ló naquela noite. Gênesis 19:5-7 conta que os homens da cidade, desde o mais novo ao mais velho, foram buscar os forasteiros. As tentativas de Ló em acalmá-los, não deram certo. Ao ser atacado, Ló foi salvo pelos anjos que feriram de cegueira todas aquelas pessoas. O recado divino para Sodoma então é comunicado a Ló. “Deus vai destruir esta cidade com fogo. Avise seus parentes e saiam daqui”.  Ló correu e avisou as filhas casadas. Regressou, porém, triste por causa das zombarias dos genros. E, como Ló estava demorando em agir, os anjos o apressaram. Deveria pegar sua esposa e as duas filhas que ainda eram solteiras, e todos fugirem o mais rápido possível para longe do lugar, sem olhar para trás. Era a hora difícil de deixar a bela casa, deixar amigos, deixar roupas, deixar o grande rebanho. Deixar tudo! Sodoma e as cidades vizinhas foram destruídas. Somente Ló e as filhas se salvaram. A esposa desobedeceu a ordem de não olhar para trás e, infelizmente, perdeu a vida. Hoje, amigo ouvinte, a palavra de Deus tem sido anunciada aos quatro cantos do mundo que a maldade está atingindo o seu limite e em breve, muito breve, Deus vai intervir e destruir esta terra.  Você poderá até dizer ou pensar que isso é bobagem, que isso é fruto de mentes doentes, fanáticas, que isto é invenção de crentes. Bem, você é livre para pensar o que quiser, mas o nosso mundo cheio de violência, orgulho, sensualismo, má distribuição do dinheiro, cheio de perversidades sexuais, será destruído. A Bíblia garante isso. E promete novo céu e nova terra onde habitará para sempre a justiça. E a profecia de Sodoma nos dá essa garantia. O que Deus falou de fato aconteceu. Portanto, “creia no Senhor teu Deus e você estará seguro. Creia nos profetas dele e você prosperará”.

#673 - 7 Estações - RESUMO DA JORNADA DO EGITO A CANAÃ | JB Carvalho by JB Carvalho

The Beauty and the Beast of Serving explores both the blessing and burden of serving God.At the wedding in Cana, the governor didn't know where the miraculous wine came from, but the servants did. Serving gives us access to moments and revelations others may never see. Yet that privilege comes with pressure and the challenge of keeping our motives pure.Servants may not receive the recognition, but they have the privilege of witnessing God's work firsthand. The beauty of serving is seeing God's glory; the danger is forgetting who it belongs to.

LEITURA BÍBLICA DO DIA:  GÊNESIS 35:1-5 PLANO DE LEITURA ANUAL: 2 CRÔNICAS 30–31; JOÃO 18:1-18  Já fez seu devocional hoje? Aproveite e marque um amigo para fazer junto com você! Confira:  Alguns homens do meu grupo de estudo bíblico tinham quase 80 anos, e surpreendeu-me saber que lutavam contra a luxúria: uma batalha que travavam desde a juventude. Todos os dias comprometiam-se a seguir Jesus e pediam perdão por suas falhas. Não deveríamos nos chocar ao saber que pessoas piedosas ainda lutam contra desejos vis na fase avançada da vida. Um ídolo é tudo o que ameaça tomar o lugar de Deus em nossa vida, e eles podem aparecer mesmo após acharmos que sumiram. Na Bíblia, Jacó foi salvo de seu tio Labão e de seu irmão Esaú. Ele voltava para Betel para adorar a Deus e celebrar Suas muitas bênçãos, mas sua família ainda mantinha ídolos pagãos que Jacó precisou enterrar (GÊNESIS 35:2-4). Lemos também que, após os israelitas derrotarem seus inimigos e estabelecerem-se em Canaã, Josué ainda os orientava a jogar “fora os falsos deuses […] em seu meio e [voltar] o coração para o Senhor” (JOSUÉ 24:23). Aparentemente a esposa de Davi, Mical, guardava ídolos, pois colocou um em sua cama para enganar os soldados que vieram matá-lo (1 SAMUEL 19:11-16). Os ídolos são mais comuns do que pensamos, e Deus é mais paciente do que merecemos. Os desejos para voltarmos a eles virão, mas o perdão de Deus é maior. Que sejamos separados para Jesus, abandonemos nossos pecados e encontremos o perdão nele.  Por: MIKE WITTMER 

Pourquoi Jésus a-t-il voulu rester présent au milieu de nous sous l'apparence du pain ? Cet enseignement médite la présence réelle du Christ dans l'Eucharistie : non pas un symbole ni une simple présence spirituelle, mais sa présence substantielle, tout entière. À la lumière de saint Paul VI, de saint Jean-Paul II et du Catéchisme, en passant par les noces de Cana, le buisson ardent, les miracles eucharistiques et le témoignage de saints comme Tarcisius, une invitation à reconnaître que le Seigneur est avec nous chaque jour, et à demeurer devant lui dans l'adoration.

Simon Peter, Thomas (called the Twin), Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other of His disciples were together. 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. Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to them, “Children, do you have any fish?” They answered Him, “No.” 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. 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. 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. (John 21:2-8)

Mateo 15:13 “Pero respondiendo él, dijo: Toda planta que no plantó mi Padre celestial, será desarraigada”.El Proceso de Desarraigar el AlmaLa Biblia nos habla de un proceso profundo y transformador: el proceso de desarraigar, de arrancar la raíz. Muchas veces nos desgastamos trabajando en lo externo, enfocándonos en podar las ramas visibles, pero descuidamos lo interno.Para entender esto, debemos reconocer nuestra naturaleza tripartita: somos espíritu, alma y cuerpo. Es muy común ver que todo el mundo busca beneficios para su cuerpo: queremos ser sanos, sentirnos bien, prosperar físicamente. De igual forma, buscamos constantemente la bendición para nuestro espíritu: anhelamos recibir de Dios los dones espirituales, los milagros, sanidades y prodigios, pero, ¿cuántos buscan realmente bendecir y sanar su alma? Sanar el alma no se logra con pañitos de aguas tibias, por lo que la verdadera prosperidad está íntimamente ligada al alma, recordemos que el indicador de nuestra prosperidad integral comienza en el interior, está escrito en 3 Juan 2 “Amado, yo deseo que tú seas prosperado en todas las cosas, y que tengas salud, así como prospera tu alma.”Es precisamente allí, en el terreno del alma, donde muchas veces fallamos al no trabajar la raíz de nuestros problemas, Jesús fue tajante en Mateo 15:13: "Pero respondiendo él, dijo: Toda planta que no plantó mi Padre celestial, será desarraigada."Este pasaje es impresionante y revelador, la Palabra declara con firmeza que todo aquello que Dios no sembró, irremediablemente será desarraigado. Piensa en esto: tu vida es como un campo; en ese campo siembra Dios, pero también siembra tu familia, tus experiencias y la sociedad; y con el tiempo, empiezas a dar fruto de todo aquello que ha sido depositado en ti.Sin embargo, hay raíces oscuras que no provienen de Dios y que operan en "modo incógnito" bajo la tierra de nuestra alma. Es imprescindible que miremos profundamente, porque quizás hoy, dentro de ti, existan raíces oscuras que Dios jamás plantó, raíces que hasta el día de hoy no has logrado identificar ni erradicar.El mayor peligro de las tinieblas es cuando operan en modo incógnito, escondidas bajo la tierra de nuestra alma, donde no reconocemos lo que hacen ni podemos identificar sus obras destructivas. Hoy es el día para examinar nuestro interior: ¿Hay en ti alguna raíz de mal que deba ser arrancada?Brotando desde lo Oculto: La Raíz de Amargura"Mirad bien, no sea que alguno deje de alcanzar la gracia de Dios; que brotando alguna raíz de amargura, os estorbe, y por ella muchos sean contaminados." (Hebreos 12:15, RVR1960)La Biblia nos enseña que brotar es aquello que sale desde adentro hacia afuera. Brotar es crecer, producir, germinar, es emerger de lo profundo hasta que se hace visible.Traduzcamos esto a nuestra realidad: Muchas veces leemos este versículo y creemos que el problema radica en que alguien se amargó por una situación reciente, pero la Palabra no habla de gente que se amargó de un día para otro; la Biblia nos advierte sobre personas que siempre llevaron esa amargura por dentro, solo que aún no se había evidenciado. La palabra clave y reveladora en este pasaje es que "brotó" una raíz que ya estaba allí pero que no se veía. ¿Cuántas raíces tenemos guardadas en el interior que no se ven, pero que de vez en cuando brotan, emergen y salen a la luz?A veces escuchamos decir: "El hermano se amargó en la iglesia". ¡No! No se amargó en la iglesia; siempre fue un amargado, pero la raíz no había brotado, aún no se había manifestado lo que realmente llevaba en su interior, el Señor te está diciendo que hay cosas dentro de ti que todavía no has arrancado y que, en el momento menos pensado, salen a la superficie.Vemos personas que llegan a la iglesia, le entregan su vida a Cristo y reciben de Dios, pero nunca empiezan el trabajo de desarraigar las raíces que traen, la raíz sigue ahí, escondida bajo la tierra y escuche bien esto: aunque lo que estaba afuera se haya quemado, se haya dañado, se haya deteriorado, o incluso se haya podado y cortado... mientras quede raíz, siempre habrá el peligro de que algo vuelva a brotar.Podar el Carácter vs. Desarraigar la RaízTristemente, vemos que la iglesia vive modificando el comportamiento, pero no se ocupa de desarraigar el carácter, nos hemos acostumbrado a ocultar los traumas, pero jamás los arrancamos de raíz, y es por eso que, en algún momento de nuestra vida, algo inesperado nace.Es entonces cuando decimos: "Pero yo creía que ya había sido libre", "Yo pensé que había resuelto mi problema", la dura realidad es que solo se podó; se cortó la maleza superficial, pero el mal jamás se desarraigó, y en el momento menos pensado, la raíz de lo que realmente llevamos por dentro volvió a brotar.El peligro más grande de la raíz es su naturaleza: está diseñada para aferrarse, para agarrarse de algo y evitar ser arrancada. Podemos intentar arrancar una mata por encima, pero es casi imposible sacar todas las raíces de un solo tirón, porque allá en lo profundo, en lo oscuro de la tierra, se agarraron de las piedras, se enredaron en los troncos e incluso se entrelazaron con otras raíces para hacerse más fuertes.Muchas veces venimos a la congregación y los pastores empiezan a corregir, a podar nuestro exterior: "Hermano, no hable así", "Baje el volumen", "Hermana, no le grite a su esposo", "No vuelva a maltratar a su familia". Pasamos todo el tiempo simplemente podando, pero inevitablemente llega el momento donde esa raíz brota, renace y reaparece. ¿Por qué? Porque aunque cortaste lo aparente, jamás erradicaste el problema de fondo.Hemos permitido que se levante una generación que vive de apariencias, pensamos: "Mientras yo me vea bien por fuera, no importa qué raíz tenga por dentro, no importa lo que lleve en el alma ni quién soy realmente en mi casa", llegamos al extremo de encubrirnos unos a otros: "Mi esposa va a cubrir mis raíces malas porque no podemos dañar la reputación que tenemos como familia".Vivimos de apariencias, olvidando que las raíces, tarde o temprano, siempre salen a la luz. Atrévase hoy a confrontar su realidad. "¿Qué raíz tienes escondida que está a punto de brotar?"La Contaminación de la RaízDice la Palabra que la raíz no solo te estorba cuando se evidencia, cuando finalmente brota, sino que además empieza a contaminar a otros. Tienes que entender una verdad espiritual muy seria: cuando lo que está oculto en tu corazón se manifiesta, tus hijos y tu familia es contaminada.¿Qué sucede cuando lo que está adentro empieza a evidenciarse afuera? Alguien dice: "Yo no sé qué me pasó que me puse violento, ¡si yo soy un hombre pacífico!", la realidad es que la raíz de la ira siempre estuvo ahí; nunca la quitaste.Nos acostumbramos a culpar a la gente y a las circunstancias, pero en el fondo el problema soy yo, que tengo una raíz que no he logrado arrancar; miremos el fundamento a través de Deuteronomio 29:18: "No sea que haya entre vosotros varón, o mujer, o familia, o tribu, cuyo corazón se aparte hoy de Jehová nuestro Dios, para ir a servir a los dioses de esas naciones; no sea que haya en medio de vosotros raíz que produzca hiel y ajenjo." (Deuteronomio 29:18, RVR1960)Dios le advirtió esto al pueblo de Israel justo cuando estaban a punto de entrar a la tierra de Canaán. El verdadero problema de contaminación para el pueblo no estaba en los gigantes que habitaban la tierra, ni en las religiones de Canaán, el problema real estaba e...

In "The Marriage Miracle" (John 2:1–11), Pastor Brent Snook launches the new Supernatural Stories for the Summer series with Jesus' very first miracle — turning water into wine at a wedding in Cana. He explores the Scene of the miracle — a humble, happy, and holy place — the Secret of the miracle through Mary's timeless advice: "Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it" — and the Significance of the miracle, contrasting the devil's strategy of giving his best first with Jesus, who always saves the best for last. 

Jesus leaves Cana and continues on to Jerusalem for Passover. There, he finds the merchants and coin dealers conducting business in the temple which leads to Jesus clearing out the establishment and prophesying about his own resurrection. His actions and proclamation lead us to consider the right attitude of worship following Jesus' example, as well as the eternal hope he offers us as the truer and better temple.   

Send us Fan MailThe Church doesn't call Mary “Queen” to place her far away. We call her Mary Queen of Apostles because she is close, present, and active where the Gospel actually begins: in prayer, in waiting, and in a courageous yes. We start in the upper room at Pentecost, where Acts 1:14 shows Mary at the heart of the first Christian community, steadying fearful disciples and helping form the Church for its mission. If you've ever felt stuck behind locked doors of doubt, fatigue, or distraction, this conversation is a map back to the essentials.We also follow Mary's hidden apostolic road from Cana to Calvary. At Cana, her instruction is simple and relentless: “Do whatever he tells you.” We unpack why that line is more than a memory, and how it becomes a blueprint for Catholic discipleship, evangelization, and spiritual renewal. At Calvary, Mary's fidelity reveals that apostleship is not first about volume or visibility, but about surrendering our lives to Christ for the salvation of souls.From there, we widen the lens to Church history and Marian intercession that reignites apostolic zeal, including the enduring impact of Marian apparitions like Guadalupe, Lourdes, and Fatima. We connect this to a lived pilgrimage of faith today through prayer, Eucharistic devotion, and practical ways to bring Catholic tradition home, including virtual pilgrimages and a praying community united in shared intentions.If you're hungry for deeper devotion and a steadier interior life, walk with us.

Welcome back to The Pre Nup, the podcast where we talk honestly about love, weddings, and everything in between. This week, Adriana sits down with Dr. Love Lea — an Ivy League-trained couples therapist with a PhD in clinical sexology — to talk about the part of getting married no one prepares you for: the actual marriage. We spend so much time obsessing over the dress, the venue, and the seating chart — but how much time are couples actually spending preparing for life after "I do"? Dr. Love Lea breaks down why premarital coaching can lower your odds of divorce by 31%, what to actually talk about before you walk down the aisle, and why the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mindset is one of the biggest threats to a modern marriage. From intimacy and communication to conflict, money, in-laws, and the conversations most couples are too scared to have — Dr. Love Lea brings real, modern, judgment-free advice that meets couples where they're at. Whether you're religious, spiritual, secular, or somewhere in between, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who's engaged, newly married, or dating with intention. If you're searching for premarital counseling tips, advice for engaged couples, or how to build a marriage that actually lasts — this episode is for you. Episode Highlights • Why couples spend $35K on the wedding and $0 on the marriage — and how Dr. Love Lea wants to flip that • The statistic every engaged couple needs to hear: how premarital coaching cuts divorce risk by 31% • Premarital counseling vs. religious pre-Cana: what's the difference and do you need both? • The "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" myth and why it's quietly hurting your relationship • How often healthy couples are actually having sex (and why quality beats quantity) • The fights that seem stupid but mean something deeper • How to have hard conversations without making your partner feel attacked • Why Dr. Love Lea treats the relationship as one body — not two sides • Wedding vendor tip: why an extra pair of comfortable shoes is non-negotiable on your wedding day Find Dr. Love Lea: Instagram: @DrLoveLea / Website: drlovelea.com

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Tuesday morning, the 19th of May, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the Gospel of John 2:5: “His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.” I want to tell you about a lady who did just that, and she lived many years ago. Her name was Florence Nightingale. She is known as the founder of modern nursing. She reduced the death rates by simply improving hygiene and living standards. She was known as the “Lady with the Lamp” because she used to make her rounds every night to check on the wounded soldiers during the war. I have a daughter who studied nursing and it is wonderful to see the heart of compassion that these kind of people have. Now we're not talking about great preachers or people that have done great things. We are talking about people who simply obey the Word of the Lord.You might be saying today, ”Well you know, I have had very little education. I have had very little opportunity to serve the Lord.” You can serve the Lord wherever you are and whatever you are doing. Now I want to read a quotation from this woman of God, Florence Nightingale. She said, “If I could give you information of my life, it would be to show how a woman of very ordinary ability has been led by God in strange and unaccustomed paths to do in His service what He has done in her. And if I could tell you all, you would see how God has done all, and I nothing. I have worked hard, very hard, that is all; and I have never refused God anything.” Isn't that beautiful?I want to say to you today, whatever it is that God has told you to do, do it with all your heart. Because the servants filled up the water vats with water, Jesus turned the water into wine. The first miracle that took place in the marriage feast in Cana. Now, maybe God has called you to be a school teacher, maybe God has called you to be a farmer, maybe God has called you to be an airline pilot, or maybe God has called you to be a housewife. Do it with all of your heart, and the Lord will use that to change the lives of many.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day. Goodbye.

Water to Wine (John 2:1–12)At a wedding in Cana, Jesus performs His first public miracle by turning water into wine, revealing that He is far more than a teacher or miracle worker. This story shows us that when we truly see Jesus for who He is, it changes how we respond to our problems, our obedience, and our purpose. As His power, sovereignty, and mission become clearer, we begin to trust Him more deeply and follow Him more fully.

Healing the Nobleman's Son (Sermon Series on John) - Sunday, 17th May 2026[Episode 20 - John Chapter 4 KJV]1. A prophet has no honour in his own country.John 4:44-45  For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country. Then when he was come into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did at Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.2. A nobleman with a sick sonJohn 4:46-47  So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.3. Jesus rebukes himJohn 4:48  Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.4. Jesus heals his son.John 4:49-52  The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die. Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way. And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth. Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.5. He and his household believe.John 4:53-54  So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house. This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.

Tables get flipped, water turns to wine, and a simple question hangs in the air: what happens when we start taking God seriously again? We walk through John 2 and watch Jesus move from quiet provision at a wedding in Cana to public confrontation in the temple, where worship is treated like commerce. That contrast pulls us toward a deeper kind of faith, one that trusts his timing, honors his holiness, and refuses to confuse convenience with obedience. From there, we pray honestly about the stuff we like to hide: pride, greed, anxiety, fear, procrastination, and the way our priorities drift. We read Song of Solomon as a marriage-focused reminder that love is real, disciplined, and not something we should force on our own schedule. Then Psalm 103 opens the window wide on mercy, forgiveness, and God's compassion, followed by Proverbs 14 and a blunt warning about anger and foolish decisions that can wreck a life. If you've been searching for Christian encouragement, Bible teaching you can apply today, or a reset for your spiritual life, these readings land with clarity. We also wrestle with hard cultural headlines and what they reveal about the fruit of competing worldviews, then turn to American history and faith with reflections on a Medal of Honor recipient and quotes attributed to Abraham Lincoln and Peter Cartwright. The closing message is direct: when you have nowhere else to go, turn to Christ, ask for mercy, and confess what's true. If this helped you, subscribe so you don't miss the next one, share it with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review to support the show.#AmericanPatriot#CivilWar#DailyBibleVerseSupport the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribeCountryside Book Serieshttps://www.amazon.com/Countryside-Book-J-T-Cope-IV-ebook/dp/B00MPIXOB2 

The prologue of John claims Jesus is the Word. Jesus will prove his identity through seven signs in his public ministry. The first occurs in today's passage at the wedding in Cana. Jesus turns water into wine so we explore what this says about both his character and his death.   

Three Prayers That Unlock Miracles You've been holding on tight — to your plans, your timeline, your idea of how things should go. But what if letting go is exactly what God is waiting for? Pastor Christian Mensik brings a word that will shift your perspective on miracles. Drawing from John 2, 4, and 11 — the wedding at Cana, the official's dying son, and the raising of Lazarus — this message will challenge you to open your hands, trust God's bigger plan, and believe that it is never too late for Him to move. Whether you're walking through confusion, disappointment, or a season where it feels like you've missed it — this one's for you.

In this message, Minister Alex Ehly teaches through John 2:1–12 and the miracle at the wedding in Cana, where Jesus turns water into wine. But this story is about far more than a miracle at a wedding feast. It's about Jesus stepping into emptiness, shame, chaos, exhaustion, and spiritual dryness… and revealing the glory of God by making something entirely new.As the wine runs out and the celebration begins to collapse, Jesus transforms ceremonial purification water into the best wine of the feast, revealing that He did not come merely to patch up religion, but to bring a better Kingdom, deeper joy, and lasting hope. This message explores how Jesus still meets people in moments where life feels empty, uncertain, or broken — and how what looks like chaos to us becomes a canvas for His Kingdom.If you feel spiritually exhausted, emotionally drained, overwhelmed by suffering, or uncertain about what God is doing in your life, this teaching offers hope that Jesus still brings new wine out of crushing seasons.

Read OnlineJesus raised his eyes to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come. Give glory to your son, so that your son may glorify you, just as you gave him authority over all people, so that your son may give eternal life to all you gave him.” John 17:1–2The entirety of Chapter 17 of John's Gospel is traditionally referred to as Jesus' High Priestly Prayer. This prayer concludes the Last Supper Discourse, which we have been reading for the past two weeks. It marks a transition from the conclusion of Jesus' public ministry to His Passion and glorification. With His teaching completed, Jesus begins His prayerful offering of His life to the Father. The prayer can be divided into three sections:Verses 1–11a: Jesus' intimate prayer to the Father focuses on their mutual glorification through the completion of His sacrifice. This “hour” of sacrifice and glory is now at hand.Verses 11b–19: Jesus prays for the disciples who accompanied Him during His earthly ministry, asking for their protection, sanctification, and perseverance in their mission.Verses 20–26: Jesus' prayer extends to all future believers, the Church throughout time, including us today. He prays for unity among believers, rooted in the love of the Father and the Son.Today, in liturgical Year A, we read the first section of this prayer, when Jesus speaks of His divine mission and His imminent return to the glory He shared with the Father before creation. This prayer highlights a central theme in John's Gospel: Jesus' “hour.”The theme of the “hour” was introduced at the wedding at Cana, the beginning of Jesus' signs. When the Blessed Mother intercedes for the couple, saying, “They have no wine,” Jesus replies, “Woman, how does your concern affect me? My hour has not yet come” (John 2:3–4). From that moment, Jesus references the concept of His “hour” throughout His ministry, pointing to the appointed time for His Passion and glorification. In today's High Priestly Prayer, Jesus makes His final and definitive reference to His hour: “Father, the hour has come…” (John 17:1). The hour of His sacrifice, the pinnacle of His earthly mission, has now arrived. Though Jesus was fully aware of the suffering He was about to endure, He did not enter into that suffering with dread or fear. Rather, He did so with eager resolve, knowing that everything He had done throughout His life and public ministry pointed to this moment, which had finally come.Jesus' human disposition while praying at this pivotal moment offers us an invitation to approach His Sacrifice in the way He did. His “hour” continues in our lives every time we are invited to embrace His Cross. Therefore, every opportunity for sacrifice—no matter how small—must be prayerfully embraced in union with Jesus' prayer.Jesus' prayer teaches us that sacrifice is not something to resist or begrudge. Instead, every sacrifice becomes an opportunity to glorify God and receive a share in His glory. When we embrace sacrifice with generosity and trust, we unite ourselves to Jesus' perfect Sacrifice, participating in His work of redemption and giving glory to the Father. Reflect today on the interior disposition Jesus manifested as He faced His imminent suffering and death. He did not cower or hesitate. He looked at His Cross with divine eyes, seeing His Sacrifice as the pinnacle of His life's mission and the source of glory for Him and His Father. As we strive to embrace our own sacrifices, turn to Christ in prayer, asking for His grace and strength to offer His prayer as He offered it to the Father. Most glorious High Priest, when Your hour of suffering had arrived, You embraced that Sacrifice with unwavering resolve. That resolve revealed the glory You shared with the Father. Please draw me into Your sacrificial love and help me to prayerfully choose every sacrifice to which I am called with the same determination modeled in Your High Priestly Prayer. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image by Prabowo Shakti from PixabaySource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

La verdadera batalla del ser humano no se libra en escenarios visibles, sino en los pasillos silenciosos de la mente. La Guerra Invisible aborda la sanidad mental demostrando que la salud emocional y la madurez espiritual dependen de derribar estructuras internas de pensamiento que causan daño, cautiverio y dolor.Para comprender este conflicto, la Escritura nos provee de un mapa estratégico infalible. Segunda a los Corintios 10:4–5 afirma que las armas de nuestra milicia son poderosas en Dios para la destrucción de fortalezas, derribando argumentos y llevando cautivo todo pensamiento a la obediencia a Cristo. Asimismo, Efesios 6:16 nos insta a tomar el escudo de la fe para apagar los dardos de fuego del maligno.Esta guerra espiritual opera en tres niveles progresivos:El primer nivel son los Dardos de Fuego. Son ataques externos y repentinos en forma de pensamientos intrusivos, tentaciones o miedos. No son pecado en sí mismos y se apagan con fe inmediata. El error es dialogar con ellos. Ejemplos de esto vemos cuando Satanás puso en el corazón de Judas entregar a Jesús, o cuando incitó a David a realizar un censo por orgullo.El segundo nivel son los Argumentos y la Altivez. Ocurre cuando el dardo no se apaga y el pensamiento es aceptado y justificado. Se convierte en un razonamiento interno que compite con Dios, como creer que "solo valgo si produzco". Así les pasó a los espías en Canaán, que se vieron como langostas por temor, o a Tomás, que se encerró en su incredulidad. Aquí la lucha ya no es contra un ataque, sino contra una creencia.El tercer nivel son las Fortalezas Mentales. Son estructuras arraigadas que gobiernan las emociones y la conducta. Una fortaleza es una mentira repetida hasta sentirse verdad. Su proceso es claro: dardo no confrontado se vuelve argumento aceptado, y este, una fortaleza establecida. Lo vemos en Nabucodonosor, cegado por su propia soberbia en Babilonia.La solución bíblica no es la pasividad. Romanos 12:2 nos manda a transformarnos mediante la renovación de nuestro entendimiento. La libertad comienza al identificar la mentira, evaluarla con la Palabra y sustituirla por la verdad.Recuerda siempre: no todo pensamiento que cruza tu mente es tuyo, no todo es verdad y no todo merece hospedaje. Los dardos atacan, los argumentos persuaden y las fortalezas encarcelan, pero la verdad de Cristo nos hace completamente libres.Conferencias/Conserjería Virtual DisponibleCitas/ Invitaciones (787) 967-3597.Dr. Peter Burgos Vega Psy.D, MFT, LPPBilingual Family & Couple TherapyLicensed Psychoterapist, Marriage & Family Therapy: Crisis de Comunicación, Infidelidad, Crisis de Divorcio, Divorcio Emocional.Visite "Almas en Espejo": almasenespejo.comPágina de Facebook: drpeterburgosvegaPagina Web: https://peterburgos.wixsite.com/websiteCanal de YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/PeterBurgosVegaChannelEmail: peterburgos@yahoo.com

Join us as we dig deeper into last Sunday's sermon from Pastor Marcus Lane "Peter" and hear from Amy Duncan and Nate Zuellig on "Made For More". Digging Deeper Questions:  Have you experienced instances where living a self-directed life feels like spinning your wheels in futility? If so, what made self-direction so frustrating?   What freedom is found in living a divine-directed life?   Can you see a clear connection between the restoration Jesus brings and the purpose Jesus gives you in your own life and work? Where do you see opportunities to live as a minister of reconciliation like Paul talks about in 2 Corinthians 5?     Scripture Reading: John 21:1-19 1 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.   4 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.   9 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.   15 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. 18 Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you used to dress yourself and walk wherever you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you do not want to go." 19 (This he said to show by what kind of death he was to glorify God.) And after saying this he said to him, "Follow me." Intro/Outro Song: "Only One" Nate Zuellig ULC Artist In Residence    "Made For More" Bethel Music CCLI Song # 7207758   CCLI License # 11254293

Today, we're in Week 2 of of a 6-week series that Darrell taught on the Gospel of John in 1996 at Glendale Presbyterian Church in California, and stepping into one of Darrell's most beloved parts of Scripture. John has long been a favourite of his—he's spent decades returning to it, teaching it, and inviting others to encounter Jesus through its pages.If last week's message revealed Jesus as the One who brings new life through the miracle at Cana, this week shows us how that transformation happens. In this passage, Jesus enters the temple—and turns everything upside down, but what looks like disruption is actually love, and grace. Jesus reveals Himself not only as the One who makes all things new, but as the One who clears away everything that gets in the way. And at the centre of it all is a bold claim: Jesus doesn't just come to reform religion but to change it from the inside out. He Himself is the new temple, the place where heaven and earth meet.__Redeemer University⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠—⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Give to the Ministry of Darrell Johnson⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Darrell's Books⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to Darrell's Mailing List⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠darrelljohnson.ca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠youtube.com/darrelljohnson⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

When the wine ran out at the wedding in Cana, Jesus revealed far more than His power to perform miracles. He revealed that He alone can bring true joy, hope, and transformation to empty lives. In this message from John 2, Russ Andrews explains how the miracle of turning water into wine points directly to Christ's mission: to rescue people from spiritual emptiness and give them peace, purpose, and eternal hope. Through powerful biblical teaching and a moving real-life testimony of redemption, this episode reminds listeners that even when life feels hopeless, Jesus can still turn water into wine and the best is yet to come.

 46 He came again therefore into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain ruler, whose son was sick at Capharnaum.Venit ergo iterum in Cana Galilaeae, ubi fecit aquam vinum. Et erat quidam regulus, cujus filius infirmabatur Capharnaum. 47 He having heard that Jesus was come from Judea into Galilee, went to him, and prayed him to come down, and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.Hic cum audisset quia Jesus adveniret a Judaea in Galilaeam, abiit ad eum, et rogabat eum ut descenderet, et sanaret filium ejus : incipiebat enim mori. 48 Jesus therefore said to him: Unless you see signs and wonders, you believe not.Dixit ergo Jesus ad eum : Nisi signa et prodigia videritis, non creditis. 49 The ruler saith to him: Lord, come down before that my son die.Dicit ad eum regulus : Domine, descende priusquam moriatur filius meus. 50 Jesus saith to him: Go thy way; thy son liveth. The man believed the word which Jesus said to him, and went his way.Dicit ei Jesus : Vade, filius tuus vivit. Credidit homo sermoni quem dixit ei Jesus, et ibat. 51 And as he was going down, his servants met him; and they brought word, saying, that his son lived.Jam autem eo descendente, servi occurrerunt ei, et nuntiaverunt dicentes, quia filius ejus viveret. 52 He asked therefore of them the hour wherein he grew better. And they said to him: Yesterday, at the seventh hour, the fever left him.Interrogabat ergo horam ab eis in qua melius habuerit. Et dixerunt ei : Quia heri hora septima reliquit eum febris. 53 The father therefore knew, that it was at the same hour that Jesus said to him, Thy son liveth; and himself believed, and his whole house.Cognovit ergo pater, quia illa hora erat in qua dixit ei Jesus : Filius tuus vivit; et credidit ipse et domus ejus tota.Nereus and Achilleus were servants of Flavia Domitilla, who was martyred with them in A.D. 98.

JOHN 21:1-14 - CAST YOUR NET - BRIAN SUMNER - 2025JOHN 21:1-14 "After these things Jesus showed Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and in this way He showed Himself: 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 are going with you also.” They went out and [a]immediately got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing. 4 But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. 5 Then Jesus said to them, “Children, have you any food?”They answered Him, “No.”6 And He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast, and now they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish.7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it), and plunged into the sea. 8 But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from land, but about two hundred cubits), dragging the net with fish. 9 Then, as soon as they had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread. 10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.”11 Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not broken. 12 Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast.” Yet none of the disciples dared ask Him, “Who are You?”—knowing that it was the Lord. 13 Jesus then came and took the bread and gave it to them, and likewise the fish.14 This is now the third time Jesus showed Himself to His disciples after He was raised from the dead."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. Since coming to faith in 2004 doors continued opening locally and internationally to do more and more ministry with a focus on Evangelism, Outreach Missions, Marriage, Counsel, Schools, Festivals, Conferences and the like.  Everything about this ministry is made possible because of people personally partnering through the non profit. God Bless and thank you. †Support the showSUPPORT THE SHOW

1 Let not your heart be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me.Non turbetur cor vestrum. Creditis in Deum, et in me credite. 2 In my Father's house there are many mansions. If not, I would have told you: because I go to prepare a place for you.In domo Patris mei mansiones multae sunt; si quominus dixissem vobis : quia vado parare vobis locum. 3 And if I shall go, and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will take you to myself; that where I am, you also may be.Et si abiero, et praeparavero vobis locum, iterum venio, et accipiam vos ad meipsum : ut ubi sum ego, et vos sitis. 4 And whither I go you know, and the way you know.Et quo ego vado scitis, et viam scitis. 5 Thomas saith to him: Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?Dicit ei Thomas : Domine, nescimus quo vadis : et quomodo possumus viam scire? 6 Jesus saith to him: I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No man cometh to the Father, but by me.Dicit ei Jesus : Ego sum via, et veritas, et vita. Nemo venit ad Patrem, nisi per me. 7 If you had known me, you would without doubt have known my Father also: and from henceforth you shall know him, and you have seen him.Si cognovissetis me, et Patrem meum utique cognovissetis : et amodo cognoscetis eum, et vidistis eum. 8 Philip saith to him: Lord, shew us the Father, and it is enough for us.Dicit ei Philippus : Domine, ostende nobis Patrem, et sufficit nobis. 9 Jesus saith to him: Have I been so long a time with you; and have you not known me? Philip, he that seeth me seeth the Father also. How sayest thou, shew us the Father?Dicit ei Jesus : Tanto tempore vobiscum sum, et non cognovistis me? Philippe, qui videt me, videt et Patrem. Quomodo tu dicis : Ostende nobis Patrem? 10 Do you not believe, that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak to you, I speak not of myself. But the Father who abideth in me, he doth the works.Non creditis quia ego in Patre, et Pater in me est? Verba quae ego loquor vobis, a meipso non loquor. Pater autem in me manens, ipse fecit opera. 11 Believe you not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?Non creditis quia ego in Patre, et Pater in me est? 12 Otherwise believe for the very works' sake. Amen, amen I say to you, he that believeth in me, the works that I do, he also shall do; and greater than these shall he do.alioquin propter opera ipsa credite. Amen, amen dico vobis, qui credit in me, opera quae ego facio, et ipse faciet, et majora horum faciet. 13 Because I go to the Father: and whatsoever you shall ask the Father in my name, that will I do: that the Father may be glorified in the Son.Quia ego ad Patrem vado: et quodcumque petieritis Patrem in nomine meo, hoc faciam : ut glorificetur Pater in Filio.St Philip, like Peter and Andrew, was of Bethsaida. He was crucified in Phrygia where he preached the Gospel A.D. 87.St James the Less, was of Cana and a kinsman of Our Lord. He wrote one of the Epistles of the New Testament. He was thrown from the terrace of the temple A.D. 93.

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.

Pastor Taylor Shippy - John 2:1-12What if the best advice we could ever hear came from the lips of Jesus' mother?At a small wedding in Cana, a quiet crisis unfolds. The wine runs out. Panic spreads. And Mary simply says: “Do whatever He tells you” (Jn 2:5). In this message this morning, we explore the mystery of Jesus' first miracle—and what it means not merely to believe in Jesus, but to actually believe Him. Somewhere between the filling and the pouring, water becomes wine… and we experience a miracle.

Hers is the greatest motherhood story of all time. You know who she is.Magnificent 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 our Lord was ready when her time came.Let's pray.Lord, the mother of Jesus shows us an eternal love. It is also a mystery of sorts for us, but we know that this amazing mother is experiencing supernatural joy, forever! In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

You can read the Bible for years and still slide past it like it's background noise. We feel that tension and we name it: if we're rushed, we'll keep living on the same “highlighted” verses while whole books stay closed, confusing, or easy to dismiss. So we slow down and talk about what it looks like to approach Scripture like Jacob approaching God: a real wrestling match, where you expect to be challenged, corrected, and changed.We start with a simple conviction from Psalm 19: God's Word is not just information, it restores, warns, and reshapes us. From there we get practical about how to read the Bible for depth. We lay out three lenses for Bible interpretation and hermeneutics: lexical and syntactical (words and structure), theological and canonical (how the whole Bible informs the passage), and cultural and historical (stepping into their world without letting “culture” cancel the text). It's a built-in set of guardrails against eisegesis, reading our agenda into Scripture.Then we put the method to work in John 2, the wedding at Cana. Instead of stopping at “water into wine,” we notice why John calls it a sign, why a wedding matters in the Bible's storyline, and how faith and obedience show up in the servants' costly work before they see the miracle. We also talk about tools like commentaries, lexicons, and Blue Letter Bible, why context matters more than quick word studies, and how to keep reading so Scripture interprets Scripture.If you want richer Bible study, clearer doctrine, and a way to read hard passages without dodging them, this one is for you.

The contentious life and times of the most widely cited book of the New Testament. Written some two thousand years ago, the Gospel of John is the only Christian Gospel to place Jesus at the creation of the world, and the only one where we find the stories of the raising of Lazarus, the woman taken in adultery, and the changing of water into wine at the wedding in Cana. The Gospel of John also points an accusing finger at Jesus's Jewish opponents and has been used by medieval crusaders, Protestant reformers, and white supremacists to legitimize antisemitic violence. In The Gospel of John: A Biography (Princeton UP, 2026) Kim Haines-Eitzen traces the legacy of this complex, beautiful, and at times deeply troubling work, from its composition in the late first century to its enduring power today. Haines-Eitzen sheds light on the book's reception by early Christian gnostic and patristic commentators, its use in the Crusades and Reformation, its revered status among American evangelicals, and the many ways it has inspired novels, films, music, and art. The earliest papyrus fragment of an identifiably Christian Gospel is a fragment of John, and John is the only canonical Gospel that depicts Jesus as a savior who teaches openly about his divinity. Haines-Eitzen shows how John simultaneously carries a message of inclusion and intolerance, and how its story teaches us about the nature and enormous influence of scriptural religions. Compelling and provocative, The Gospel of John reveals how this dynamic, malleable biblical work has both unified and divided Christians over centuries of translation, interpretation, and creative reimagining. Kim Haines-Eitzen (Ph.D., University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, 1997) is a Professor of Ancient Mediterranean Religions with a specialty in Early Christianity, Early Judaism, and Religion in Late Antiquity in the Department of Near Eastern Studies. Her most recent book is Sonorous Desert: What Deep Listening Taught Early Christian Monks and What It Can Teach Us (Princeton University Press, 2022), a project that traces how desert sounds shaped early Christian monasticism and includes field recordings she has made in desert environments. She is the author of Guardians of Letters: Literacy, Power and the Transmitters of Early Christian Literature (Oxford University Press, 2000), a social history of the scribes who copied Christian texts during the second and third centuries; and The Gendered Palimpsest: Women, Writing, and Representation in Early Christianity, which deals with the intersection of gender and text transmission (Oxford University Press, 2012). She is a member of the programs in Religious Studies, Jewish Studies, Medieval Studies, and Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Cornell. For the 2024-25 academic year, she is a Fellow at the National Humanities Center where she is working on a new project, tentatively entitled Earth, Wind, and Fire: A Field Guide to the Apocalypse.

Today, we're beginning the release of a 6-week series that Darrell taught on the Gospel of John in 1996 at Glendale Presbyterian Church in California, and stepping into one of Darrell's most beloved parts of Scripture. John has long been a favourite of his—he's spent decades returning to it, teaching it, and inviting others to encounter Jesus through its pages.In this opening message, Darrell begins where John begins his account of Jesus' public ministry, with the wedding at Cana as recorded in John 2:1–11. More than a miracle, this moment is a sign: a glimpse into the very heart of God. Here, we see a Jesus who enters ordinary life, reveals divine glory, and brings transformation: turning water into wine, and pointing to his power to make all things new.__⁠⁠⁠⁠Regent College⁠⁠⁠⁠Regent College Summer Programs⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠—⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Give to the Ministry of Darrell Johnson⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Darrell's Books⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to Darrell's Mailing List⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠darrelljohnson.ca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠youtube.com/darrelljohnson⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
