Christian Sermons from Calvary Chapel Greenmeadow, North Kingstown, RI

The first thing to note about the Cana wedding is that Jesus was invited. When we plan to invite Jesus to something, we need to ensure that He will be comfortable there. Once He is there, we should do whatever He tells us to do and put our faith in Him.

We follow Jesus because He is God, but also because He is good, He is our savior, He is our Lord, He is the Good Shepherd, and He gave His life for us.

Everyone's story is different as to how we began to follow Jesus, but the important part is that we do follow Him. He is worthy of being followed because He knows the way.

When we look at the life of Joseph, we see that he was able to forgive. We also must choose to live a life of forgiveness because we are commanded to, because we value our relationship with God, and because we can be of service to others.

John the Baptist gave all the glory to the Messiah. Our testimony also must focus on Jesus and how we were lost but are now found. It may cost us something to have a testimony for Jesus, but that should not stop us from sharing it.

Some people recognized that Jesus was who He said He was, but they did not receive Him since they denied His lordship. We must receive Jesus into our lives and hearts. Then by believing, we put our trust in Him for our salvation.

Man is born with an innate fear of both darkness and death. Jesus came to bring light into the darkness and to give us life. His light shows us what this present life is about and also the way to eternal life. With His light, we need not fear the dark.

The first few verses from John tell as a lot about Jesus. He is eternal and has no beginning. He is the Word by which we know God. He is both God and part of the trinity. He is the Creator through whom we have life, and seeking Him reveals His glory.

John wrote his gospel so that we would believe. Believing that Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah, the Anointed One, and the only way to God, gives us life. The life we are given is spiritual, eternal, and abundant in both quantity and quality.

John acknowledged that Jesus loved him. Although he had a special relationship with Jesus (caring for Mary after the crucifixion), he was far from perfect. Yet his love and his teaching made it obvious to others that he spent time with the Lord.
