This is Jesus’ first healing miracle in John’s gospel and in this sermon Pastor Mark answers the most common questions about healing.

What happens when a theology professor sits down to have a deep conversation with Jesus? They end up having a late-night mental boxing match about what it means to be “born again”. Jesus tells the Bible scholar that, in effect, you can memorize books of the Bible, tithe generously to the Lord, live a moral life, believe in God, and sit in church every week until you die and have your funeral in a church and still go to hell if you are not born again by the Holy Spirit. Prepare for a brain cramp in this sermon…

Jesus showed up at the Temple, got angry, made a whip, and started sending money flying and people running? Why? Because the religious leaders did not care about worship, Jesus, or relationships. This week Jesus the Lamb turns into Jesus the Lion for some good reasons we will study together.

Do you ever wonder what eternity will be like? Have the cartoonish images of diaper wearing chubby baby cherubs sitting on fluffy clouds playing harps forever got you less than excited for eternity? The truth is that Jesus’ miracles revealed His eternal Kingdom. His first miracle was making wine at a wedding party which will likely upend a lot of what you have wrongly been told heaven will be like.

How do you discover God’s will for your life? Jesus first disciples had jobs they worked and a life course they had plotted. All of that changed, however, when Jesus came along and asked them to follow Him. The same is true for Jesus’ followers today. By understanding who Jesus is and what life in relationship with Him looks like, you too can begin to uncover God’s will for your life and walk with Jesus.

How do we really come to understand ourselves? That question, perhaps more than any other, dominates our thinking as we use personality tests and other tools to discover the mystery that is me. There is a man named John the Baptizer whom Jesus called the greatest man who has ever lived. People tried to figure out who John was, and he said that the only way to really understand oneself is to first understand Jesus. In that day, like ours, many people were making the mistake of looking at themselves too much and looking at Jesus too little. If you want to understand who you are, the first thing you need to understand is who Jesus is.

Who knows you best? When Jesus walked the earth, he had a best friend named John. John was an eyewitness to Jesus entire ministry, and no one knew Jesus better than John. Long after Jesus had returned to heaven, the other disciples had all died, and the last eyewitnesses to Jesus’ were reaching the end of their life, John sat down to write about his best friend and Lord, Jesus Christ. At breakneck speed that strains human understanding, John starts by telling us that Jesus is our Eternal God, Creator God, Polarizing God, Savior God, Human God, Only God, and Relational God. Why? Because if you want to understand who God is you have to start with Jesus!
