Mary and her family attended a wedding, and the unthinkable happened – the host ran out of wine.  And while today, this seems like a trivial annoyance, it was quite devastating back then.  The family would be humiliated.  So, Mary, knowing nothing else to do, turned to Jesus.  Today, Pastor John will encourage you to bring all your problems to Jesus as Mary did.  You may have no idea how to solve it, but Jesus is able and cares for you.  And as you rely on Him each day, walk in obedience, doing what He says to do!

Jesus, with all the power and majesty of God, could’ve simply wowed people into following Him with flashy and showy “acts of God”.  But, He used great care and had a greater purpose for exercising His power in doing miracles for the people.  Today, Pastor John will explain that Jesus, under the will of God His Father, performed miracles to not only demonstrate his majesty and ability but to show kindness, love, empathy, and cause people to believe in Him.  We see all of these in the miracle of turning water into wine.

Sometimes it can be hard to feel known or seen in this world.  People just drift through life, lacking any self-worth, wishing someone would notice them.  Today, Pastor John explains how Jesus knows and sees you and deeply loves you.  You are worthy to Him.  Your hurts and your joys are on His mind.  He longs for you to come to Him.  And when you do, he is instantly there and understands everything about you.  He knows you intimately and hears every prayer.  Come to Him right now to find the love you need!

religious and pious men to aide Him.  They were looking forward to the day they’d be promoted.  Everyone even looked up to them and expected only they could be good enough to be God’s chosen.  Yet as Pastor John teaches today, Jesus pursued and chose people the world had overlooked.  He desires men and women who recognize their need for a savior and those who genuinely are after the heart of God.

When you begin to know and follow Jesus, it should follow that you want others to know and follow Him as well. You realize you have received God’s grace, mercy, and salvation and you want others to experience this too.  Today, Pastor John will encourage you to be bold and follow that desire.  Especially with those closest to you.  Share Him with those you love!  Let the apostle Andrew’s life be an example to you.  When you share the good news of Jesus with others, they can find salvation and new life too!

Teachers, pastors, and spiritual leaders will all be faced with the temptation to grow in pride as people begin to follow and admire them.  But, not John the Baptist.  He understood from the beginning that He was there to teach, baptize, and eventually point people to Jesus. He ultimately wanted all of his followers to know and follow Jesus. Today, Pastor John will challenge you to point people to Christ in all you do continually .  It’s not about you and your popularity, but it’s about making Jesus known!

It can be hard to wrap your mind around the choice Jesus made to leave Heaven.  He left the glory of Heaven to come to earth and face an unimaginable death.  He suffered, and he was dishonored. Why would He even do this?  Today, Pastor John explains the reasons why Jesus did this.  He came to provide an example for godly living, display God’s great love, reveal God to us, and ultimately die for our sins.  His love for you was so great He was willing to do whatever was necessary to reconcile you back to God.

The incarnation of Jesus is a great mystery to man.  But, according to God’s word, He has always existed and is fully God.  Yet, Jesus chose to leave the glory of Heaven to come to earth as a human.  The mystery of how He can still be fully God and yet, born of a woman, fully man, is beyond comprehension.  But today, Pastor John will encourage you to lay aside the confusion and simply trust in God.  He’s able to do the miraculous and wonderful.  It’s heresy to discount either his full humanity or deity.

Some people, religious and non-religious alike believe that they can save themselves by just being good.  And many think that they can change themselves to be good by sheer will and good intentions.  Today, Pastor John teaches that God’s will and His grace alone save you and transform you into someone better.  God, through Jesus, draws you to himself, convicts you of sin, puts the desire to believe in you, saves you, and sanctifies you.  You can’t boast about your good idea to go to God.  Instead, He searches you out and saves you!

Words are incredibly powerful.  They help, hurt, guide, explain and reveal.  Today, Pastor John describes how Jesus is the word sent to the earth to reveal God to humanity.  The only way to know a holy and unknowable God is by Him revealing himself.   God wanted His people to know Him. So, in His great mercy, He gave us Jesus.  God speaks to us through Jesus, who came to earth as a man. If you want to hear God, you must look for and listen to Jesus. He is God’s word. You must follow Him.
