♪ music ♪reading of god's word, and if you brought
00:00:14.074 --> 00:00:14.741
And if you brought your bibles,
00:00:14.808 --> 00:00:15.341
Your bibles, turn them to john 2,
00:00:15.408 --> 00:00:16.976
Turn them to john 2, beginning at the first verse,
00:00:17.043 --> 00:00:19.012
Beginning at the first verse, as this morning we begin
00:00:19.079 --> 00:00:20.213
As this morning we begin a series of sermons
00:00:20.280 --> 00:00:21.214
A series of sermons on the topic,
00:00:21.281 --> 00:00:22.449
On the topic, "the god of miracles."
00:00:22.515 --> 00:00:24.551
"the god of miracles." our god is a god of miracles.
00:00:24.617 --> 00:00:27.954
Our god is a god of miracles. [amen.]
00:00:28.021 --> 00:00:28.621
[amen.] as a matter of fact,
00:00:28.688 --> 00:00:29.289
As a matter of fact, he's the only god who does
00:00:29.355 --> 00:00:31.191
He's the only god who does miracles.
00:00:31.257 --> 00:00:31.991
Miracles. [that's right.]
00:00:32.058 --> 00:00:32.725
[that's right.] [amen!]
00:00:32.792 --> 00:00:33.293
[amen!] anyone else claiming that
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:34.194
Anyone else claiming that they have another god,
00:00:34.260 --> 00:00:35.195
They have another god, who does miracles,
00:00:35.261 --> 00:00:36.129
Who does miracles, is a liar --
00:00:36.196 --> 00:00:37.197
Is a liar -- [amen.]
00:00:37.263 --> 00:00:37.931
[amen.] -- because our god is
00:00:37.997 --> 00:00:38.898
-- because our god is the one true god.
00:00:38.965 --> 00:00:40.366
The one true god. [hallelujah!]
00:00:40.433 --> 00:00:41.234
[hallelujah!] why a series on miracles?
00:00:41.301 --> 00:00:44.270
Why a series on miracles? miracles are exciting.
00:00:44.337 --> 00:00:46.139
Miracles are exciting. if you promise to have
00:00:46.206 --> 00:00:46.973
If you promise to have a miracle ministry,
00:00:47.040 --> 00:00:47.941
A miracle ministry, or you promise to have
00:00:48.007 --> 00:00:48.741
Or you promise to have a miracle service,
00:00:48.808 --> 00:00:49.642
A miracle service, you'll get all kinds of people
00:00:49.709 --> 00:00:50.777
You'll get all kinds of people to show up.
00:00:50.844 --> 00:00:52.212
To show up. some are curious.
00:00:52.278 --> 00:00:53.246
Some are curious. some are skeptical.
00:00:53.313 --> 00:00:54.347
Some are skeptical. some are believers.
00:00:54.414 --> 00:00:56.382
Some are believers. but the reality of miracles
00:00:56.449 --> 00:00:57.817
But the reality of miracles is that god didn't use them
00:00:57.884 --> 00:00:59.152
Is that god didn't use them for your entertainment.
00:00:59.219 --> 00:01:00.854
For your entertainment. [that's right.]
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:01.554
[that's right.] if you want to be entertained,
00:01:01.621 --> 00:01:02.255
If you want to be entertained, go to the circus.
00:01:02.322 --> 00:01:03.490
Go to the circus. [that's right.]
00:01:03.556 --> 00:01:04.257
[that's right.] (laughter)
00:01:04.324 --> 00:01:05.158
(laughter) god used miracles so that
00:01:05.225 --> 00:01:06.793
God used miracles so that skeptics would become
00:01:06.860 --> 00:01:08.094
Skeptics would become believers,
00:01:08.161 --> 00:01:09.028
Believers, and disciples would become
00:01:09.095 --> 00:01:10.196
And disciples would become saints.
00:01:10.263 --> 00:01:11.197
Saints. [amen!]
00:01:11.264 --> 00:01:12.065
[amen!] so when you see god's miracle
00:01:12.132 --> 00:01:13.266
So when you see god's miracle power,
00:01:13.333 --> 00:01:13.967
Power, it should encourage you
00:01:14.033 --> 00:01:15.735
It should encourage you and grow your faith.
00:01:15.802 --> 00:01:18.404
And grow your faith. we're preaching a series
00:01:18.471 --> 00:01:19.139
We're preaching a series on miracles because john 21
00:01:19.205 --> 00:01:21.608
On miracles because john 21 says, "and truly,
00:01:21.674 --> 00:01:23.176
Says, "and truly, many more things jesus did."
00:01:23.243 --> 00:01:25.778
Many more things jesus did." and he said that even if all
00:01:25.845 --> 00:01:27.714
And he said that even if all of the things that were
00:01:27.780 --> 00:01:28.681
Of the things that were written down that jesus did
00:01:28.748 --> 00:01:30.517
Written down that jesus did could be recorded,
00:01:30.583 --> 00:01:31.451
Could be recorded, they would fill up all of
00:01:31.518 --> 00:01:32.852
They would fill up all of the books on the face
00:01:32.919 --> 00:01:33.820
The books on the face of the earth.
00:01:33.887 --> 00:01:34.721
Of the earth. but then he makes this very
00:01:34.787 --> 00:01:35.889
But then he makes this very important point.
00:01:35.955 --> 00:01:36.856
Important point. he says,
00:01:36.923 --> 00:01:37.490
He says, "but these were written --"
00:01:37.557 --> 00:01:39.025
"but these were written --" say that with me.
00:01:39.092 --> 00:01:40.093
Say that with me. "but these were written,"
00:01:40.160 --> 00:01:42.028
"but these were written," "--that you might believe."
00:01:42.095 --> 00:01:44.430
"--that you might believe." that's why we're preaching on
00:01:44.497 --> 00:01:45.365
That's why we're preaching on miracles,
00:01:45.431 --> 00:01:46.199
Miracles, "that you might believe."
00:01:46.266 --> 00:01:49.569
"that you might believe." because jesus christ said,
00:01:49.636 --> 00:01:50.803
Because jesus christ said, "all things are possible
00:01:50.870 --> 00:01:53.339
"all things are possible to those who believe."
00:01:53.406 --> 00:01:55.608
To those who believe." let's read,
00:01:55.675 --> 00:01:56.242
Let's read, chapter 2 of the gospel
00:01:56.309 --> 00:01:58.378
Chapter 2 of the gospel of john,
00:01:58.444 --> 00:01:58.978
Of john, beginning at verse 1.
00:01:59.045 --> 00:01:59.879
Beginning at verse 1. if you're there say, amen.
00:01:59.946 --> 00:02:01.114
If you're there say, amen. [amen!]
00:02:01.181 --> 00:02:02.182
[amen!] "on the third day,"
00:02:02.248 --> 00:02:03.516
"on the third day," somebody say,
00:02:03.583 --> 00:02:04.117
Somebody say, "third day."
00:02:04.184 --> 00:02:05.051
"third day." ["third day."]
00:02:05.118 --> 00:02:06.619
["third day."] "on the third day,
00:02:06.686 --> 00:02:08.621
"on the third day, there was a wedding in cana
00:02:08.688 --> 00:02:10.089
There was a wedding in cana of galilee,
00:02:10.156 --> 00:02:11.491
Of galilee, and the mother of jesus
00:02:11.558 --> 00:02:12.725
And the mother of jesus was there.
00:02:12.792 --> 00:02:13.993
Was there. now both jesus and his
00:02:14.060 --> 00:02:15.328
Now both jesus and his disciples were invited to
00:02:15.395 --> 00:02:16.729
Disciples were invited to the wedding,
00:02:16.796 --> 00:02:17.764
The wedding, and when they ran out of wine,
00:02:17.830 --> 00:02:19.899
And when they ran out of wine, the mother of jesus said
00:02:19.966 --> 00:02:21.100
The mother of jesus said to him,
00:02:21.167 --> 00:02:22.035
To him, 'they have no wine.'
00:02:22.101 --> 00:02:23.703
'they have no wine.' jesus said to her,
00:02:23.770 --> 00:02:25.772
Jesus said to her, 'woman, what does your concern
00:02:25.838 --> 00:02:28.141
'woman, what does your concern have to do with me?
00:02:28.208 --> 00:02:30.176
Have to do with me? my hour has not yet come.'
00:02:30.243 --> 00:02:33.046
My hour has not yet come.' his mother said to
00:02:33.112 --> 00:02:34.214
His mother said to the servants,
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:35.381
The servants, 'whatever he says to you,
00:02:35.448 --> 00:02:37.483
'whatever he says to you, do it.'
00:02:37.550 --> 00:02:38.618
Do it.' and now there were set there
00:02:38.685 --> 00:02:39.786
And now there were set there six water pots of stone
00:02:39.852 --> 00:02:41.654
Six water pots of stone according to the manner of
00:02:41.721 --> 00:02:42.722
According to the manner of purification of the jews
00:02:42.789 --> 00:02:44.524
Purification of the jews containing 20 or 30 gallons
00:02:44.591 --> 00:02:47.026
Containing 20 or 30 gallons a piece.
00:02:47.093 --> 00:02:48.361
A piece. and jesus said to them,
00:02:48.428 --> 00:02:49.596
And jesus said to them, 'fill the water pots
00:02:49.662 --> 00:02:50.830
'fill the water pots with water,'
00:02:50.897 --> 00:02:51.664
With water,' and they filled them up
00:02:51.731 --> 00:02:53.199
And they filled them up to the brim.
00:02:53.266 --> 00:02:54.500
To the brim. and then he said to them,
00:02:54.567 --> 00:02:55.969
And then he said to them, 'draw some out now,
00:02:56.035 --> 00:02:57.704
'draw some out now, and take it to the master
00:02:57.770 --> 00:02:58.972
And take it to the master of the feast.'
00:02:59.038 --> 00:03:00.139
Of the feast.' and they took it.
00:03:00.206 --> 00:03:02.242
And they took it. when the master of the feast
00:03:02.308 --> 00:03:03.309
When the master of the feast had tasted the water
00:03:03.376 --> 00:03:04.811
Had tasted the water that was made wine,
00:03:04.877 --> 00:03:06.279
That was made wine, and did not know where it came
00:03:06.346 --> 00:03:07.780
And did not know where it came from,
00:03:07.847 --> 00:03:08.715
From, but the servants who had
00:03:08.781 --> 00:03:09.716
But the servants who had drawn the water knew.
00:03:09.782 --> 00:03:11.417
Drawn the water knew. the master of the feast
00:03:11.484 --> 00:03:12.619
The master of the feast called the bridegroom,
00:03:12.685 --> 00:03:14.687
Called the bridegroom, and he said to him,
00:03:14.754 --> 00:03:16.189
And he said to him, 'every man at the beginning
00:03:16.256 --> 00:03:18.491
'every man at the beginning sets out the good wine,
00:03:18.558 --> 00:03:20.727
Sets out the good wine, and when the guests have well
00:03:20.793 --> 00:03:21.894
And when the guests have well drunk,
00:03:21.961 --> 00:03:22.562
Drunk, then the inferior.
00:03:22.629 --> 00:03:24.397
Then the inferior. you have kept the good wine
00:03:24.464 --> 00:03:26.833
You have kept the good wine until now.'
00:03:26.899 --> 00:03:28.368
Until now.' this beginning of signs
00:03:28.434 --> 00:03:30.003
This beginning of signs jesus did in cana of galilee,
00:03:30.069 --> 00:03:32.672
Jesus did in cana of galilee, and manifested his glory,
00:03:32.739 --> 00:03:35.241
And manifested his glory, and his disciples believed
00:03:35.308 --> 00:03:37.677
And his disciples believed in him."
00:03:37.744 --> 00:03:39.112
In him." heavenly father,
00:03:39.178 --> 00:03:40.847
Heavenly father, today we are asking you
00:03:40.913 --> 00:03:43.416
Today we are asking you to manifest your glory,
00:03:43.483 --> 00:03:46.119
To manifest your glory, your miracle-working power,
00:03:46.185 --> 00:03:48.254
Your miracle-working power, in our lives,
00:03:48.321 --> 00:03:50.156
In our lives, to add whatever is missing,
00:03:50.223 --> 00:03:53.226
To add whatever is missing, to move whatever needs
00:03:53.293 --> 00:03:54.861
To move whatever needs to change,
00:03:54.927 --> 00:03:56.329
To change, to do what your sovereign will
00:03:56.396 --> 00:03:58.531
To do what your sovereign will and providential power has
00:03:58.598 --> 00:03:59.832
And providential power has decided to do in this day.
00:03:59.899 --> 00:04:01.734
Decided to do in this day. in jesus' name,
00:04:01.801 --> 00:04:02.402
In jesus' name, we pray.
00:04:02.468 --> 00:04:03.403
We pray. amen.
00:04:03.469 --> 00:04:04.304
Amen. [amen.]
00:04:04.370 --> 00:04:04.871
[amen.] you may be seated.
00:04:04.937 --> 00:04:09.542
You may be seated. the first miracle that is
00:04:09.609 --> 00:04:10.710
The first miracle that is recorded of jesus christ
00:04:10.777 --> 00:04:12.512
Recorded of jesus christ happened before his public
00:04:12.578 --> 00:04:14.180
Happened before his public ministry began.
00:04:14.247 --> 00:04:16.683
Ministry began. when and where did it happen?
00:04:16.749 --> 00:04:18.918
When and where did it happen? how did it happen?
00:04:18.985 --> 00:04:21.154
How did it happen? how can you receive his
00:04:21.220 --> 00:04:22.789
How can you receive his miracle power in your life?
00:04:22.855 --> 00:04:25.458
Miracle power in your life? first, let's begin with
00:04:25.525 --> 00:04:27.393
First, let's begin with verse 1.
00:04:27.460 --> 00:04:28.428
Verse 1. it says,
00:04:28.494 --> 00:04:28.961
It says, "now on the third day."
00:04:29.028 --> 00:04:31.230
"now on the third day." say that with me,
00:04:31.297 --> 00:04:32.298
Say that with me, "now on the third day."
00:04:32.365 --> 00:04:34.400
"now on the third day." why is that day so important
00:04:34.467 --> 00:04:36.502
Why is that day so important to john that he writes it
00:04:36.569 --> 00:04:37.704
To john that he writes it down?
00:04:37.770 --> 00:04:38.838
Down? first and foremost,
00:04:38.905 --> 00:04:39.872
First and foremost, let's remember that john is
00:04:39.939 --> 00:04:42.041
Let's remember that john is a practicing jew.
00:04:42.108 --> 00:04:44.410
A practicing jew. and in reading the torah,
00:04:44.477 --> 00:04:46.212
And in reading the torah, most orthodox jews even today
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:48.548
Most orthodox jews even today will get married and say
00:04:48.614 --> 00:04:50.083
Will get married and say the vows on the third day
00:04:50.149 --> 00:04:52.752
The vows on the third day of the week.
00:04:52.819 --> 00:04:54.387
Of the week. why?
00:04:54.454 --> 00:04:56.155
Why? first,
00:04:56.222 --> 00:04:56.723
First, consider that in the first
00:04:56.789 --> 00:04:57.757
Consider that in the first century,
00:04:57.824 --> 00:04:58.624
Century, a wedding didn't last from
00:04:58.691 --> 00:05:00.126
A wedding didn't last from 4:00 p.m. to 6 o'clock,
00:05:00.193 --> 00:05:02.195
4:00 p.m. to 6 o'clock, and then you ate cake,
00:05:02.261 --> 00:05:03.563
And then you ate cake, and did the chicken dance
00:05:03.629 --> 00:05:04.831
And did the chicken dance while the dj played.
00:05:04.897 --> 00:05:06.666
While the dj played. (laughter)
00:05:06.733 --> 00:05:07.767
(laughter) but in the time of jesus,
00:05:07.834 --> 00:05:08.935
But in the time of jesus, a wedding was something that
00:05:09.001 --> 00:05:10.370
A wedding was something that probably lasted anywhere
00:05:10.436 --> 00:05:11.804
Probably lasted anywhere from five to seven days.
00:05:11.871 --> 00:05:13.339
From five to seven days. why?
00:05:13.406 --> 00:05:14.474
Why? consider the fact that
00:05:14.540 --> 00:05:15.408
Consider the fact that mary, the mother of jesus,
00:05:15.475 --> 00:05:16.709
Mary, the mother of jesus, was there.
00:05:16.776 --> 00:05:17.677
Was there. she lived in nazareth,
00:05:17.744 --> 00:05:19.112
She lived in nazareth, but she walked back home
00:05:19.178 --> 00:05:20.913
But she walked back home to cana.
00:05:20.980 --> 00:05:22.215
To cana. it took her several days
00:05:22.281 --> 00:05:23.716
It took her several days of walking to get there.
00:05:23.783 --> 00:05:25.284
Of walking to get there. when she gets there,
00:05:25.351 --> 00:05:26.219
When she gets there, she's not going to spend just
00:05:26.285 --> 00:05:27.387
She's not going to spend just a few hours celebrating
00:05:27.453 --> 00:05:28.588
A few hours celebrating the couple,
00:05:28.654 --> 00:05:29.322
The couple, she's going to spend as much
00:05:29.389 --> 00:05:30.790
She's going to spend as much time as she possibly can.
00:05:30.857 --> 00:05:33.659
Time as she possibly can. so why are they reciting
00:05:33.726 --> 00:05:35.128
So why are they reciting the vows on the third day?
00:05:35.194 --> 00:05:37.530
The vows on the third day? when you read the account
00:05:37.597 --> 00:05:39.031
When you read the account of genesis,
00:05:39.098 --> 00:05:40.066
Of genesis, everything that god created,
00:05:40.133 --> 00:05:42.034
Everything that god created, he blessed,
00:05:42.101 --> 00:05:43.035
He blessed, and he said it was good.
00:05:43.102 --> 00:05:45.371
And he said it was good. on the first day,
00:05:45.438 --> 00:05:46.072
On the first day, he created the heavens
00:05:46.139 --> 00:05:46.906
He created the heavens and the earth
00:05:46.973 --> 00:05:47.573
And the earth and said it was good.
00:05:47.640 --> 00:05:48.741
And said it was good. on the second day,
00:05:48.808 --> 00:05:49.375
On the second day, he created the lights,
00:05:49.442 --> 00:05:50.543
He created the lights, and he said they were good.
00:05:50.610 --> 00:05:51.978
And he said they were good. on the third day,
00:05:52.044 --> 00:05:54.480
On the third day, he did something unique.
00:05:54.547 --> 00:05:55.948
He did something unique. he blessed the day twice,
00:05:56.015 --> 00:05:58.818
He blessed the day twice, because on the third day,
00:05:58.885 --> 00:05:59.819
Because on the third day, he separated the heavens
00:05:59.886 --> 00:06:01.087
He separated the heavens and the earth with the sky,
00:06:01.154 --> 00:06:02.622
And the earth with the sky, and with the land,
00:06:02.688 --> 00:06:03.489
And with the land, and with the waters.
00:06:03.556 --> 00:06:04.624
And with the waters. and when he got done
00:06:04.690 --> 00:06:05.425
And when he got done with that,
00:06:05.491 --> 00:06:05.925
With that, he said it was good.
00:06:05.992 --> 00:06:07.126
He said it was good. there's one blessing.
00:06:07.193 --> 00:06:08.261
There's one blessing. and then he said
00:06:08.327 --> 00:06:09.028
And then he said to the ground,
00:06:09.095 --> 00:06:09.796
To the ground, "bring forth your seed,
00:06:09.862 --> 00:06:11.063
"bring forth your seed, and your fruit,
00:06:11.130 --> 00:06:11.731
And your fruit, and your herb,
00:06:11.798 --> 00:06:12.365
And your herb, and your tree."
00:06:12.432 --> 00:06:13.199
And your tree." and when it did that,
00:06:13.266 --> 00:06:14.100
And when it did that, he said that was good.
00:06:14.167 --> 00:06:15.701
He said that was good. so to this day,
00:06:15.768 --> 00:06:17.069
So to this day, orthodox jewish couples get
00:06:17.136 --> 00:06:18.871
Orthodox jewish couples get married on the third day
00:06:18.938 --> 00:06:20.440
Married on the third day because it is the day
00:06:20.506 --> 00:06:21.307
Because it is the day of the week that god blessed
00:06:21.374 --> 00:06:23.075
Of the week that god blessed twice.
00:06:23.142 --> 00:06:24.644
Twice. so that's why jesus
00:06:24.710 --> 00:06:25.978
So that's why jesus and the disciples are there.
00:06:26.045 --> 00:06:28.714
And the disciples are there. now we can consider this
00:06:28.781 --> 00:06:29.715
Now we can consider this in the context of
00:06:29.782 --> 00:06:30.650
In the context of orthodox judaism,
00:06:30.716 --> 00:06:31.918
Orthodox judaism, or we can look at the fact
00:06:31.984 --> 00:06:33.252
Or we can look at the fact that our god is the same
00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:35.021
That our god is the same yesterday,
00:06:35.087 --> 00:06:36.055
Yesterday, today,
00:06:36.122 --> 00:06:37.023
Today, and forever.
00:06:37.089 --> 00:06:38.524
And forever. now when jesus arrived
00:06:38.591 --> 00:06:39.759
Now when jesus arrived on the third day,
00:06:39.826 --> 00:06:40.860
On the third day, mary said,
00:06:40.927 --> 00:06:41.661
Mary said, "i need to talk to you."
00:06:41.727 --> 00:06:43.029
"i need to talk to you." jesus goes to where mary is
00:06:43.095 --> 00:06:44.430
Jesus goes to where mary is and the servants are gathered.
00:06:44.497 --> 00:06:46.432
And the servants are gathered. and she says,
00:06:46.499 --> 00:06:46.933
And she says, "son, they have no wine."
00:06:46.999 --> 00:06:50.636
"son, they have no wine." now why did she ask jesus
00:06:50.703 --> 00:06:51.938
Now why did she ask jesus for this?
00:06:52.004 --> 00:06:52.438
For this? why not look to one of her
00:06:52.505 --> 00:06:53.372
Why not look to one of her other natural children?
00:06:53.439 --> 00:06:54.407
Other natural children? why not look to james?
00:06:54.474 --> 00:06:55.608
Why not look to james? because wine was precious,
00:06:55.675 --> 00:06:57.009
Because wine was precious, and wine was valuable,
00:06:57.076 --> 00:06:58.411
And wine was valuable, and wine was scarce.
00:06:58.478 --> 00:07:00.446
And wine was scarce. the fact that it was wine
00:07:00.513 --> 00:07:01.781
The fact that it was wine means these things:
00:07:01.848 --> 00:07:03.316
Means these things: one,
00:07:03.382 --> 00:07:04.150
One, water is one ingredient
00:07:04.217 --> 00:07:05.785
Water is one ingredient of wine,
00:07:05.852 --> 00:07:06.686
Of wine, not all ingredients of wine.
00:07:06.752 --> 00:07:08.421
Not all ingredients of wine. when jesus turned water
00:07:08.488 --> 00:07:09.422
When jesus turned water to wine,
00:07:09.489 --> 00:07:10.089
To wine, he added what was missing.
00:07:10.156 --> 00:07:12.425
He added what was missing. two,
00:07:12.492 --> 00:07:13.059
Two, in order for it to be
00:07:13.125 --> 00:07:14.293
In order for it to be good wine,
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:15.194
Good wine, which the master of the feast
00:07:15.261 --> 00:07:16.262
Which the master of the feast said it was the best that was
00:07:16.329 --> 00:07:17.563
Said it was the best that was saved for last,
00:07:17.630 --> 00:07:18.664
Saved for last, it had to ferment not just
00:07:18.731 --> 00:07:20.399
It had to ferment not just for a little while,
00:07:20.466 --> 00:07:21.100
For a little while, but over a long period
00:07:21.167 --> 00:07:22.535
But over a long period of time,
00:07:22.602 --> 00:07:23.069
Of time, because the older it is,
00:07:23.135 --> 00:07:24.370
Because the older it is, the better it gets.
00:07:24.437 --> 00:07:26.539
The better it gets. three,
00:07:26.606 --> 00:07:27.473
Three, if jesus christ did not turn
00:07:27.540 --> 00:07:29.108
If jesus christ did not turn water to wine,
00:07:29.175 --> 00:07:30.209
Water to wine, why would the disciples
00:07:30.276 --> 00:07:31.611
Why would the disciples believe in his miracle power?
00:07:31.677 --> 00:07:35.414
Believe in his miracle power? anybody can make grape juice,
00:07:35.481 --> 00:07:38.084
Anybody can make grape juice, but only the son of god
00:07:38.150 --> 00:07:39.118
But only the son of god can take what's missing,
00:07:39.185 --> 00:07:40.486
Can take what's missing, and add it to something that's
00:07:40.553 --> 00:07:41.787
And add it to something that's not there,
00:07:41.854 --> 00:07:42.555
Not there, and accelerate time,
00:07:42.622 --> 00:07:43.956
And accelerate time, and do what cannot be done by
00:07:44.023 --> 00:07:45.625
And do what cannot be done by any other.
00:07:45.691 --> 00:07:47.627
Any other. (applause)
00:07:47.693 --> 00:07:52.265
(applause) why did mary take this problem
00:07:52.331 --> 00:07:54.200
Why did mary take this problem to jesus?
00:07:54.267 --> 00:07:55.067
To jesus? because no natural person
00:07:55.134 --> 00:07:56.702
Because no natural person could solve it.
00:07:56.769 --> 00:07:57.603
Could solve it. she knew she needed
00:07:57.670 --> 00:07:58.738
She knew she needed a supernatural answer,
00:07:58.804 --> 00:08:00.006
A supernatural answer, and she knew that she only had
00:08:00.072 --> 00:08:01.874
And she knew that she only had one supernatural being
00:08:01.941 --> 00:08:03.242
One supernatural being in her life.
00:08:03.309 --> 00:08:04.677
In her life. sooner or later in your life,
00:08:04.744 --> 00:08:06.112
Sooner or later in your life, you're going to come into
00:08:06.178 --> 00:08:07.547
You're going to come into a situation where you need
00:08:07.613 --> 00:08:08.814
A situation where you need a supernatural answer.
00:08:08.881 --> 00:08:10.182
A supernatural answer. do not take your supernatural
00:08:10.249 --> 00:08:11.817
Do not take your supernatural problems to natural men.
00:08:11.884 --> 00:08:13.653
Problems to natural men. they'll never be able to
00:08:13.719 --> 00:08:14.687
They'll never be able to satisfy.
00:08:14.754 --> 00:08:15.621
Satisfy. take your problems to the one
00:08:15.688 --> 00:08:17.123
Take your problems to the one who is the way,
00:08:17.189 --> 00:08:18.090
Who is the way, the truth,
00:08:18.157 --> 00:08:18.558
The truth, and the life.
00:08:18.624 --> 00:08:19.225
And the life. when you need an answer
00:08:19.292 --> 00:08:20.226
When you need an answer that no man can give,
00:08:20.293 --> 00:08:21.694
That no man can give, take it to jesus,
00:08:21.761 --> 00:08:23.062
Take it to jesus, because he is the answer!
00:08:23.129 --> 00:08:24.830
Because he is the answer! [amen!]
00:08:24.897 --> 00:08:25.798
[amen!] (applause)
00:08:25.865 --> 00:08:28.100
(applause) so she said,
00:08:28.167 --> 00:08:28.501
So she said, "they've got a problem
00:08:28.568 --> 00:08:29.302
"they've got a problem that no natural man can fix,"
00:08:29.368 --> 00:08:31.037
That no natural man can fix," and jesus answers her.
00:08:31.103 --> 00:08:32.638
And jesus answers her. and when you read his answer,
00:08:32.705 --> 00:08:33.906
And when you read his answer, you have to read it
00:08:33.973 --> 00:08:34.640
You have to read it very carefully.
00:08:34.707 --> 00:08:37.710
Very carefully. he said,
00:08:37.777 --> 00:08:38.044
He said, "woman, what does this have
00:08:38.110 --> 00:08:40.646
"woman, what does this have to do with me?
00:08:40.713 --> 00:08:42.648
To do with me? my hour has not yet come."
00:08:42.715 --> 00:08:44.216
My hour has not yet come." if you read this verse
00:08:44.283 --> 00:08:45.318
If you read this verse the wrong way,
00:08:45.384 --> 00:08:46.018
The wrong way, you're going to think that
00:08:46.085 --> 00:08:46.786
You're going to think that jesus is rebuking his mother.
00:08:46.852 --> 00:08:48.354
Jesus is rebuking his mother. that's not what he's doing.
00:08:48.421 --> 00:08:49.622
That's not what he's doing. in the original language,
00:08:49.689 --> 00:08:50.723
In the original language, what he is saying is,
00:08:50.790 --> 00:08:52.091
What he is saying is, "ma'am."
00:08:52.158 --> 00:08:55.094
"ma'am." he's recognizing her,
00:08:55.161 --> 00:08:57.530
He's recognizing her, "ma'am."
00:08:57.597 --> 00:08:59.865
"ma'am." i grew up in
00:08:59.932 --> 00:09:00.666
I grew up in a sir-and-ma'am generation,
00:09:00.733 --> 00:09:02.868
A sir-and-ma'am generation, and it would be good to revive
00:09:02.935 --> 00:09:04.270
And it would be good to revive that again.
00:09:04.337 --> 00:09:05.504
That again. [amen!]
00:09:05.571 --> 00:09:06.639
[amen!] (applause)
00:09:06.706 --> 00:09:09.442
(applause) so what mary was saying is,
00:09:09.508 --> 00:09:10.743
So what mary was saying is, "jesus, why don't you show
00:09:10.810 --> 00:09:12.411
"jesus, why don't you show everybody what you can do?"
00:09:12.478 --> 00:09:14.714
Everybody what you can do?" and what jesus said is,
00:09:14.780 --> 00:09:15.514
And what jesus said is, "it's not time for that."
00:09:15.581 --> 00:09:17.984
"it's not time for that." but the lord did give him
00:09:18.050 --> 00:09:19.185
But the lord did give him permission to do something.
00:09:19.251 --> 00:09:22.088
Permission to do something. and when mary recognized
00:09:22.154 --> 00:09:23.456
And when mary recognized that he was going to solve
00:09:23.522 --> 00:09:24.624
That he was going to solve the problem,
00:09:24.690 --> 00:09:25.224
The problem, just not solve it in her way,
00:09:25.291 --> 00:09:26.926
Just not solve it in her way, she looked to those
00:09:26.993 --> 00:09:27.927
She looked to those who were serving,
00:09:27.994 --> 00:09:28.828
Who were serving, and she gave them the greatest
00:09:28.894 --> 00:09:29.962
And she gave them the greatest advice that anyone will ever
00:09:30.029 --> 00:09:31.430
Advice that anyone will ever give you in all of your life.
00:09:31.497 --> 00:09:32.598
Give you in all of your life. she said,
00:09:32.665 --> 00:09:33.165
She said, "whatever jesus tells you
00:09:33.232 --> 00:09:34.367
"whatever jesus tells you to do,
00:09:34.433 --> 00:09:35.434
To do, do it."
00:09:35.501 --> 00:09:36.302
Do it." [amen.]
00:09:36.369 --> 00:09:37.203
[amen.] "whatever he tells you to
00:09:37.269 --> 00:09:38.337
"whatever he tells you to do --"
00:09:38.404 --> 00:09:39.338
Do --" (applause)
00:09:39.405 --> 00:09:40.006
(applause) "-- do it."
00:09:40.072 --> 00:09:40.740
"-- do it." (applause)
00:09:40.806 --> 00:09:41.841
(applause) if he asks you,
00:09:41.907 --> 00:09:43.309
If he asks you, just do it.
00:09:43.376 --> 00:09:44.210
Just do it. don't argue with him.
00:09:44.276 --> 00:09:45.511
Don't argue with him. don't debate him.
00:09:45.578 --> 00:09:46.912
Don't debate him. don't ask questions.
00:09:46.979 --> 00:09:48.180
Don't ask questions. have you ever seen anybody
00:09:48.247 --> 00:09:49.048
Have you ever seen anybody argue with a question?
00:09:49.115 --> 00:09:50.950
Argue with a question? [yes.]
00:09:51.017 --> 00:09:51.684
[yes.] (laughter)
00:09:51.751 --> 00:09:52.351
(laughter) "well, what do you mean?"
00:09:52.418 --> 00:09:54.053
"well, what do you mean?" (laughter)
00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:55.321
(laughter) i promise you,
00:09:55.388 --> 00:09:56.088
I promise you, jesus will never ask you to do
00:09:56.155 --> 00:09:57.790
Jesus will never ask you to do what you cannot accomplish.
00:09:57.857 --> 00:09:59.225
What you cannot accomplish. but until you are obedient
00:09:59.291 --> 00:10:00.593
But until you are obedient to him,
00:10:00.660 --> 00:10:01.293
To him, you'll never have
00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:01.861
You'll never have his miracle-working power
00:10:01.927 --> 00:10:03.229
His miracle-working power in your life.
00:10:03.295 --> 00:10:04.930
In your life. (applause)
00:10:04.997 --> 00:10:07.533
(applause) this conversation that jesus
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:08.834
This conversation that jesus has with his mother is not
00:10:08.901 --> 00:10:10.503
Has with his mother is not only his way of saying,
00:10:10.569 --> 00:10:12.004
Only his way of saying, "you're natural,
00:10:12.071 --> 00:10:13.205
"you're natural, and i'm supernatural.
00:10:13.272 --> 00:10:14.707
And i'm supernatural. i can solve this,
00:10:14.774 --> 00:10:16.876
I can solve this, but we're going to do it
00:10:16.942 --> 00:10:17.443
But we're going to do it my way."
00:10:17.510 --> 00:10:19.111
My way." it was also god,
00:10:19.178 --> 00:10:20.546
It was also god, in his providence
00:10:20.613 --> 00:10:21.547
In his providence and sovereignty,
00:10:21.614 --> 00:10:22.515
And sovereignty, letting us know that
00:10:22.581 --> 00:10:23.949
Letting us know that his mother on earth, mary,
00:10:24.016 --> 00:10:26.285
His mother on earth, mary, does not persuade the son.
00:10:26.352 --> 00:10:29.822
Does not persuade the son. he knew that there would be
00:10:29.889 --> 00:10:30.990
He knew that there would be entire religious systems built
00:10:31.057 --> 00:10:32.892
Entire religious systems built around the idea that if you
00:10:32.958 --> 00:10:34.560
Around the idea that if you want jesus to do something
00:10:34.627 --> 00:10:35.861
Want jesus to do something for you,
00:10:35.928 --> 00:10:36.462
For you, you've got to talk to mom
00:10:36.529 --> 00:10:37.363
You've got to talk to mom first.
00:10:37.430 --> 00:10:39.031
First. this verse tells us very
00:10:39.098 --> 00:10:40.833
This verse tells us very clearly that mary does not
00:10:40.900 --> 00:10:42.668
Clearly that mary does not persuade or coerce jesus into
00:10:42.735 --> 00:10:45.071
Persuade or coerce jesus into anything.
00:10:45.137 --> 00:10:45.938
Anything. he is the son
00:10:46.005 --> 00:10:46.806
He is the son of the living god.
00:10:46.872 --> 00:10:48.107
Of the living god. he does what he wants to do,
00:10:48.174 --> 00:10:49.942
He does what he wants to do, when he wants to do it,
00:10:50.009 --> 00:10:51.043
When he wants to do it, like he wants to do it.
00:10:51.110 --> 00:10:52.445
Like he wants to do it. you do not need anyone to go
00:10:52.511 --> 00:10:54.313
You do not need anyone to go between you and christ.
00:10:54.380 --> 00:10:56.282
Between you and christ. he is your mediator.
00:10:56.348 --> 00:10:57.883
He is your mediator. he is your high priest.
00:10:57.950 --> 00:10:59.585
He is your high priest. he said, "i am the door,
00:10:59.652 --> 00:11:01.520
He said, "i am the door, no man comes unto the father
00:11:01.587 --> 00:11:03.222
No man comes unto the father but by me."
00:11:03.289 --> 00:11:04.290
But by me." you don't have to talk to
00:11:04.356 --> 00:11:05.458
You don't have to talk to a saint.
00:11:05.524 --> 00:11:06.225
A saint. you don't have to talk to
00:11:06.292 --> 00:11:07.293
You don't have to talk to his mother.
00:11:07.359 --> 00:11:08.160
His mother. you don't have to talk through
00:11:08.227 --> 00:11:09.361
You don't have to talk through a religious system.
00:11:09.428 --> 00:11:10.629
A religious system. you have a relationship with
00:11:10.696 --> 00:11:12.298
You have a relationship with the king of kings,
00:11:12.364 --> 00:11:13.232
The king of kings, and the lord of lords,
00:11:13.299 --> 00:11:14.633
And the lord of lords, he is your savior!
00:11:14.700 --> 00:11:16.135
He is your savior! his name is jesus!
00:11:16.202 --> 00:11:19.038
His name is jesus! (applause)
00:11:19.105 --> 00:11:20.139
The hatred we saw on october
00:11:20.740 --> 00:11:22.475
The 7th toward israel
00:11:22.475 --> 00:11:24.043
And the jewish
00:11:24.043 --> 00:11:24.777
People was not new.
00:11:24.777 --> 00:11:26.479
It was a chilling reminder
00:11:26.479 --> 00:11:27.813
That anti-semitism
00:11:27.813 --> 00:11:29.281
Never sleeps.
00:11:29.281 --> 00:11:30.649
Women were raped.
00:11:30.649 --> 00:11:32.118
Children were murdered.
00:11:32.118 --> 00:11:33.686
Terrorists
00:11:33.686 --> 00:11:34.353
Were celebrating
00:11:34.353 --> 00:11:35.187
Their massacre.
00:11:35.187 --> 00:11:36.288
But in the face of evil,
00:11:36.288 --> 00:11:37.790
We chose to stand with israel,
00:11:37.790 --> 00:11:40.192
To say to israel
00:11:40.192 --> 00:11:41.193
And the jewish people,

00:11:49.969 --> 00:11:51.337

00:12:12.992 --> 00:12:16.929
(applause)
00:12:16.996 --> 00:12:18.864
(applause) mary says to the servants,
00:12:18.931 --> 00:12:19.865
Mary says to the servants, "whatever he tells you to do,
00:12:19.932 --> 00:12:20.866
"whatever he tells you to do, do it."
00:12:20.933 --> 00:12:23.169
Do it." and the bible says that there
00:12:23.235 --> 00:12:24.103
And the bible says that there were six pots there that were
00:12:24.170 --> 00:12:26.639
Were six pots there that were for the purpose of
00:12:26.705 --> 00:12:27.439
For the purpose of ritual cleansing.
00:12:27.506 --> 00:12:30.109
Ritual cleansing. these pots were made of stone,
00:12:30.176 --> 00:12:32.211
These pots were made of stone, earth, and clay.
00:12:32.278 --> 00:12:34.380
Earth, and clay. these pots were empty
00:12:34.446 --> 00:12:35.714
These pots were empty of water,
00:12:35.781 --> 00:12:36.749
Of water, because whenever you receive
00:12:36.816 --> 00:12:38.384
Because whenever you receive guests into your home,
00:12:38.450 --> 00:12:40.252
Guests into your home, the first thing that you did,
00:12:40.319 --> 00:12:41.387
The first thing that you did, is you washed their feet,
00:12:41.453 --> 00:12:42.855
Is you washed their feet, and you washed their hands.
00:12:42.922 --> 00:12:45.357
And you washed their hands. do you remember in the upper
00:12:45.424 --> 00:12:46.292
Do you remember in the upper room when jesus took a towel,
00:12:46.358 --> 00:12:47.860
Room when jesus took a towel, and he knelt,
00:12:47.927 --> 00:12:48.427
And he knelt, and he washed the hands
00:12:48.494 --> 00:12:49.528
And he washed the hands and the feet of the disciples?
00:12:49.595 --> 00:12:51.764
And the feet of the disciples? why?
00:12:51.831 --> 00:12:53.032
Why? because they had just come
00:12:53.098 --> 00:12:54.066
Because they had just come from a long journey.
00:12:54.133 --> 00:12:55.935
From a long journey. they were in bethany.
00:12:56.001 --> 00:12:57.136
They were in bethany. they walked over the mount
00:12:57.203 --> 00:12:58.070
They walked over the mount of olives and into the city.
00:12:58.137 --> 00:13:02.541
Of olives and into the city. there were a lot of things
00:13:02.608 --> 00:13:03.642
There were a lot of things in the street that you wanted
00:13:03.709 --> 00:13:04.910
In the street that you wanted off of your feet before you
00:13:04.977 --> 00:13:06.478
Off of your feet before you sat down to eat.
00:13:06.545 --> 00:13:08.447
Sat down to eat. (laughter)
00:13:08.514 --> 00:13:09.215
(laughter) you ever have your mother
00:13:09.281 --> 00:13:09.849
You ever have your mother tell you,
00:13:09.915 --> 00:13:10.349
Tell you, "before you eat,
00:13:10.416 --> 00:13:10.983
"before you eat, wash your hands"?
00:13:11.050 --> 00:13:14.286
Wash your hands"? so these pots were used
00:13:14.353 --> 00:13:16.055
So these pots were used for ritual cleansing.
00:13:16.121 --> 00:13:18.691
For ritual cleansing. these pots had the dirt
00:13:18.757 --> 00:13:20.626
These pots had the dirt and the grime of the hands
00:13:20.693 --> 00:13:22.995
And the grime of the hands and the feet of others
00:13:23.062 --> 00:13:24.530
And the feet of others in them.
00:13:24.597 --> 00:13:26.799
In them. jesus tells the servants,
00:13:26.866 --> 00:13:29.535
Jesus tells the servants, "take some water
00:13:29.602 --> 00:13:31.403
"take some water and pour it into these pots."
00:13:31.470 --> 00:13:33.839
And pour it into these pots." now a rational person would
00:13:33.906 --> 00:13:34.907
Now a rational person would have said,
00:13:34.974 --> 00:13:35.474
Have said, "you don't want to drink out
00:13:35.541 --> 00:13:36.141
"you don't want to drink out of there."
00:13:36.208 --> 00:13:37.643
Of there." (laughter)
00:13:37.710 --> 00:13:39.011
(laughter) "not even the dog wants to
00:13:39.078 --> 00:13:40.145
"not even the dog wants to drink out of there."
00:13:40.212 --> 00:13:41.614
Drink out of there." (laughter)
00:13:41.680 --> 00:13:43.449
(laughter) but they didn't argue.
00:13:43.515 --> 00:13:45.251
But they didn't argue. they did it.
00:13:45.317 --> 00:13:48.420
They did it. they went to the well.
00:13:48.487 --> 00:13:51.090
They went to the well. the bible says that it could
00:13:51.156 --> 00:13:51.857
The bible says that it could hold 20 or 30 gallons a piece.
00:13:51.924 --> 00:13:54.793
Hold 20 or 30 gallons a piece. a gallon weighs eight pounds.
00:13:54.860 --> 00:13:57.863
A gallon weighs eight pounds. we're talking about making
00:13:57.930 --> 00:13:58.864
We're talking about making anywhere from 160
00:13:58.931 --> 00:14:00.232
Anywhere from 160 to 180 gallons of wine.
00:14:00.299 --> 00:14:03.569
To 180 gallons of wine. we're going to put costco out
00:14:03.636 --> 00:14:04.470
We're going to put costco out of business.
00:14:04.536 --> 00:14:06.071
Of business. (laughter)
00:14:06.138 --> 00:14:09.008
(laughter) and the bible not only says
00:14:09.074 --> 00:14:09.775
And the bible not only says that they filled it up,
00:14:09.842 --> 00:14:11.610
That they filled it up, (pouring water)
00:14:11.677 --> 00:14:14.179
(pouring water) but the bible says
00:14:14.246 --> 00:14:14.713
But the bible says they filled it up to the brim.
00:14:14.780 --> 00:14:16.615
They filled it up to the brim. (pouring water)
00:14:16.682 --> 00:14:18.150
(pouring water) what you need to realize
00:14:18.217 --> 00:14:21.487
What you need to realize is that before you can
00:14:21.553 --> 00:14:22.821
Is that before you can draw out,
00:14:22.888 --> 00:14:26.058
Draw out, you have to put in.
00:14:26.125 --> 00:14:27.927
You have to put in. (pouring water)
00:14:27.993 --> 00:14:30.863
(pouring water) so many times people want
00:14:30.930 --> 00:14:32.164
So many times people want the miracle-working power of
00:14:32.231 --> 00:14:33.399
The miracle-working power of god to fill an empty vessel.
00:14:33.465 --> 00:14:37.503
God to fill an empty vessel. "god, heal my marriage.
00:14:37.569 --> 00:14:39.939
"god, heal my marriage. god, bless my business.
00:14:40.005 --> 00:14:42.241
God, bless my business. god, touch my physical body.
00:14:42.308 --> 00:14:44.743
God, touch my physical body. god, heal my natural mind.
00:14:44.810 --> 00:14:47.246
God, heal my natural mind. god, touch my kids
00:14:47.313 --> 00:14:49.048
God, touch my kids who are in the far country.
00:14:49.114 --> 00:14:50.416
Who are in the far country. god, i need a miracle
00:14:50.482 --> 00:14:51.951
God, i need a miracle of your grace."
00:14:52.017 --> 00:14:52.952
Of your grace." and he looks in the pot
00:14:53.018 --> 00:14:53.919
And he looks in the pot and he says,
00:14:53.986 --> 00:14:54.520
And he says, "where's your water?
00:14:54.586 --> 00:14:58.357
"where's your water? i can't work with nothing."
00:14:58.424 --> 00:15:00.159
I can't work with nothing." [no.]
