Nothing in this world is more contagious than sin. Jesus has compassion on the sinner, and is able to make us whole, regardless of how infected with iniquity we find ourselves.

News travels fast. And as the ministry of Jesus begins, the word spreads quickly and many come to Him to meet their needs. The message of Jesus is too good to keep to ourselves.

We can find we have many things pressing in life. But when it comes to following Jesus, there should be an urgency that leads us to action.

Every story has a backstory. The gospel has beginnings reaching back before Jesus began his public ministry. God does a work preparing the way for His message to make the biggest impact. He also prepares the messengers to be effective proclaimers of the truth of Jesus.

As we look at the second part of Jesus' first sign at the wedding in Cana, we see that at times Jesus' work is subtle and accomplished in faithful obedience, and that He is able to do much more than we can ever anticipate.

In this bonus episode, we look at Jesus's first sign at the wedding in Cana/ We learn to invite Jesus into all parts of life and to obey whatever it is that He says to us to do.

Anchored in Jesus. There is no place safer to be.

Being obedient and faithful can feel sometimes leave us feeling stuck. But being stuck can sometimes be the result of being disobedient and unfaithful to the Lord. How do we know the difference?

Playing it safe. It's something that walking by faith will steer us away from. The disciples discovered this as they crossed the sea in the boat at the Lord's command, encountering a storm as they obeyed.

Peace always. That's the encouragement Paul has for the believers as he finishes his second letter to the Thessalonians. The Lord of peace can give us peace always, in every way we need it. We just need to remember where to turn.
