https://www.maynardvillefellowship.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Province-6-1-25.mp3 How much consideration do you give your spiritual growth? How do you best determine where you are in your Christian development? Do you take a theological or doctrinal test? The Bible has much to say about the importance of Christian maturity. Listen as Pastor David examines 1 John 2:12-17 to help us discover a biblical method for discerning our spiritual state.
In a world that often tolerates fear, timidity, and passivity, God is calling His people to rise with boldness—not a boldness rooted in personality or pride, but one fueled by the power of the Holy Spirit. The gospel was never meant to be consumed quietly, but to be proclaimed powerfully.In June, Pastor Josh, Will lead us as we discover what it truly means to walk in Holy Ghost Boldness—the kind of courage that shakes rooms, opens doors, and speaks truth no matter the cost. We'll explore what it looks like for men, fathers, and leaders to rise with Bold Courage, how to walk with Bold Faith that defies circumstance, and how to have a Bold Approach to God—confident, unashamed, and full of expectation.“When they had prayed… they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.” – Acts 4:31It's time to get BOLD. Because Power is not a thing of the past—God is moving today.#bold #sermonseries #overflowdfwSupport the show

For God So Loved the World 16 “For God so loved the world,[a] that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but […]
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.
John 2:28 "And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming." Hetells the parable of the nobleman and the 10 servants to whom he gives a minaeach. The one servant who kept the one mina says, "Oh,I knew you were a stern master, so I hid it in the ground, and here it is; Igive it back to you." The master says, "I'm judging you out ofyour own mouth. You should have at least put it in the bank, and then when Icame, I could have had it with some interest." This servant did notget rewarded; in fact, what he had was taken from him and given to the man whohad 10 minas. Ibelieve what the Lord is clearly teaching us here is that one day He is comingagain. He is a Master who will come and reward his faithful servants one day. InRomans 14 Paul teaches that we will stand before the judgment seat of Christ. “…For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For it is written:"As I live, says the LORD, Every knee shall bow to Me, And every tongueshall confess to God." So then each of us shall give account of himself toGod.” (Romans 14:10-12) Don't waste your time judging one another, tryingto figure out who's right and who's wrong. Serve the Lord; he is Lord of all.Whether we live or die, we live unto the Lord, and one day we will stand beforehis judgment seat, and each one of us will give an account of himself to theLord. 1Corinthians 3:5-15 teach basically the same thing, telling us we will give anaccount for each work we've done. There are works that abide and those thatdon't in the fire of judgment at the judgment seat of Christ. I believe thisjudgment takes place at the end of the tribulation period, just before themillennial reign of Christ. There the rewards will be passed out to thosewho've been faithful to serve the Lord and reign with Him. If we suffer with Him,we will reign with Him in His millennial 1,000-year reign, as He sits upon thethrone of David in Jerusalem and rules over the earth. We come back with Him torule and reign, and the reward will be determined by our performance now. (2 Timothy2:12; Revelation 19:11-16). Butnot just by what we do, though, because the scripture teaches every work willbe judged, whether it's good or bad, whether it's gold, silver, or preciousstones, or whether it's wood, hay, and stubble. In other words, what we do ordon't do for Christ and through Christ alone. Remember in John 15 Jesus said, "Withoutme, you can do nothing." Our motives for our service will be judged atthat time, and we'll be rewarded accordingly. We all have been given the onemina, the Word of God, and we can determine, by the grace of God through thepower of the Holy Spirit abiding in us, to serve faithfully. I love what 1 John2:28 says: "Abide in me, little children." It says, "Ifyou abide in Him, you will be confident and not be ashamed at His coming."We're to “study to show ourselves approved unto God, workmen that need notbe ashamed” (2 Timothy 3:15). Manyof us will stand at the judgment seat of Christ and be ashamed! I believe manyChristians think that if they're saved, they will go to heaven, and everyonewill be happy all the time. But my friend, there will be a time of accountingwhen we stand at the judgment seat of Christ, and every work will be judged.Read 2 Corinthians 5:7-11. It says we will all stand before the judgment seatof Christ, and there it also says, “…knowing the terror of the Lord, wepersuade men”. Paul knew and talked about that judgment seat. So,we need to understand what Jesus is teaching here in Luke 19. He says, "Listen,you need to make sure you serve me faithfully now, and serve me with the rightmotive, and your reward will be great in heaven." Andmy friend, in the Millennial reign of Christ on earth, you will also rule andreign with him. Please take time to lookthe above verses up.Godbless!
1st John 2.1,2
A wedding crisis allows Mary to offer the best advice for a follower of Jesus.
In this episode, Ronn and Mike discuss the final three verses of John 2. This short passage allows their conversation to develop at length the concepts of “belief" and “faith” in both the Old Testament (Hebrew, aman) and the New Testament (Greek, pisteou). The study details the implications of Jesus' understanding of belief and loyalty when it comes to his expectation of “following” him into eternal life. Along the way they emphasize the importance of viewing faith as an expression of loyalty rather than as a passive acceptance of Jesus' work on the cross, in the end critiquing modern theological interpretations of faith.

None of life is meant to be lived alone, which means wherever God calls us, we need a team for support and encouragement. In this final week of our Finding Your Way series, we will study what Scripture requires of a church when it sends a missionary, and by extension, what we all need wherever God may send us.
Why did Jesus say, “My hour has not yet come,” but then performs a miracle? What is the meaning of John 2:4?

Are we believing like the disciples or like the crowd? While there was response to the work Jesus was doing in his early ministry, there was not an understanding of who He is. Join us as Pastor Justin Carlton teaches on this topic in John 2.
In this episode, Ronn and Mike discuss Jesus' cleansing of the Temple in John 2:13-22. They use this opportunity to then talk through the complexities of the Old Testament law, its interpretation within evangelicalism, and the historical context of the temple's significance. Their discussion highlights how Jesus' fulfillment of the law is often misunderstood and emphasizes the importance of cultural context in understanding biblical texts that deal with the challenges of how to understand biblical law in the modern age. They conclude by exploring the relationship between God's giving of law and his desire to form a family which, in the end, does not need law in order to function.

Pastor Phil Ayres recounts the miraculous turning of water into wine at the wedding in Cana, emphasizing Jesus' humanity and divinity. He highlights that Jesus operates on God's timing rather than human urgency, urging listeners to trust in Him even when immediate answers are not evident. The act of obedience shown by the servants in following Jesus' command illustrates that miracles often follow simple, faithful actions. Ultimately, Pastor encourages everyone to believe in miracles today, as they point to Jesus and can transform lives, reminding us that the best is always saved for last.

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.

Jack Anderson emphasizes the importance of having zeal for God, comparing it to his obsession with golf. He references Scotty Scheffler as an example of someone whose identity is rooted in Jesus rather than in worldly success. While zeal for other pursuits can be healthy, it must be prioritized correctly, with God at the top. He encourages the congregation to deepen their relationship with God through reading the Bible, finding fellowship, and spending time in prayer to cultivate true, godly zeal.

In this episode, Ronn and Mike explore the significance of Jesus' first recorded miracle, his turning of water into wine at the wedding of Cana. They discuss the implications and nature of miracles in the context of faith to Yahweh, especially in context of John's original audience which would have known that created divine beings could perform miraculous deeds as well. Their conversation touches on personal experiences of miracles, the unique aspects of John's Gospel, and the possible reasons behind Jesus' miracles.
This sermon was preached by Pastor Kyle Huber at Greentree Church on April 20, 2025. Scripture: John 2:19
Send us a textGood morning! Thank you for taking a few minutes to listen. If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)Spiritbuilding.com - (premium quality paperback)Youtube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comJohn 2 The first recorded miracle of Jesus' ministry is the turning of water into wine in Cana of Galilee. His mother informs Him that the wine has run out at a wedding feast. While the time has not come for Jesus to show everyone His deity, He honors His mother's request, and He turns six waterpots into wine. This serves to “manifest His glory” to His disciples. Jesus then makes a trip to Jerusalem for the Passover feast. He makes a whip and drives out the money changers in the temple. The Jews ask for a sign as proof of His authority. He speaks of the temple being destroyed and rebuilt in three days. Jesus is referencing His death and resurrection. In Jerusalem, He performs signs, and many believe in Him. The miracles in this chapter demonstrate the love of Jesus. He is easing into public ministry, but at His mother's request, Jesus turns the water into wine. This is a concession He makes out of love, and it encourages everyone. Later, in Jerusalem, while not yet time for Him to die, He still drives greedy Jews out of the temple. He does this because of His passion for bringing honor to His Father. Jesus is motivated by love, and He later dies on the cross to help others and obey God. We should appreciate how much He did out of concern for us, and we should emulate that by helping others and openly showing our love for our heavenly Father. Worthy Lord, You deserve to be loved, worshiped, and obeyed. Your Son believed this so strongly that He drove out those who disrespected Your will. Lord, help us to be like Your Son, emotional about your worthiness and bold in the face of those who disobey You. Show us how to be motivated by love for You, but also our love for other people. Jesus often acted out of compassion and care, even altering His plans to be helpful. Lord, demand this of us. Create opportunities for us to serve others and demonstrate the heart of Christ in observable ways. Thought Questions: - It was clear that Jesus loved His mother. Who in your life is so loved that you honor their requests even when it is not your desire? - The signs of Jesus “manifested His glory” and led to belief. In what ways do the miracles of Jesus lead you to stronger faith in Him? - Zeal for God led Jesus to aggressive behavior in the temple. Is there a time for that, and how must you be cautious in such moments?
John 2 NIV 23 Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival, many people saw the signs he was performing and believed in his name. 24 But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all people. 25 He did not need any testimony about mankind, for he knew what was in each person.
