Mike and Chad discuss the importance of this first act Jesus did for others. How significant was it and how does it relate to us today? Scripture: On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.” “Woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.”They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.” What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

Every year it seems a new book or movie is released that recounts an individual’s brief tour of heaven. Are there any common threads that emerge when evaluating the history of these kinds of reports? What should we believe about the afterlife, and how do stories like these compare with what we find Scripture? On this program, Shane Rosenthal talks again with St. Louis University professor Michael McClymond about how the reporting of near-death experiences has shaped, and continues to shape, contemporary views of the afterlife.

In 1521 Martin Luther, a university professor, was called to account for his writings before representatives of the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V. When asked to recant his views, he faced a monumental decision. Would he acknowledge the authority of the Church above that of the Bible? Would he bow to the power of the State even though in doing so he would go against Scripture? On that day, Luther boldly asserted that Scripture alone had the right to bind his conscience and orient both his thinking and doing. Today we begin our series Everyday Reformation. It is our hope that the motto of the Reformation will continue to be our passion: The church reformed, and always reforming, according to God’s Word!

It's one thing to believe that God listens to our prayers-- it's a whole other thing to believe that they actually move Him to act & intervene in the natural events of our daily lives. How do we reconcile the two views of God presented by Scripture? On the one hand, we rely on the trustworthy, immutable Sovereign of the universe ("I the LORD do not change" Malachi 3.6). On the other hand, we long for a responsive God who allows himself to be impacted by human petitions ("My heart is changed within me; all my compassion is aroused" Hosea 11.8). Do our prayers really make a difference to God? Listen in as Pastor Tim shares a sermonic adaptation of an original article by Philip Yancey entitled "Does Prayer Change God?"
