Speaker 1: in your life.

00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 2: Enjoy the message.

8
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: I believe the Lord has spoken to me and I

9
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: want to share a message with you as another installment

10
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 1: on our series Flip the Flow. And I look at

11
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: each of these like they build on each other. The

12
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 1: last time that I was speaking with you, I spoke

13
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: about joy and the fullness of joy in the presence

14
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: of the Lord, and now we're going to see not

15
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: a description of that, but a demonstration of it from

16
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:41,560
Speaker 1: the scriptures. I just want to give you one verse

17
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: and then you can be seated and we'll speak together today.

18
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 1: But as you stand in reverence and respect for God's word.

19
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 1: I'm welcome to all the locations. Thank God for all

20

21
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: person next to you you can't go to heaven unless

22
00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: you join any group. These are really great people. I

23
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: can vouch for eighty percent of them. There's always a

24
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: twenty percent weirdness factor in anything you do with large groups.

25
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 2: But we try to screen them, vet them.

26
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: They're not going to sell you pampered chef, essential oils

27
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: or anything like that once they get you in the home,

28
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: So it's not a timeshare presentation. Just want to help

29
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: you grow in your relationship with the Lord. Not selling

30
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: keto drinks, Just trying to help you build a foundation.

Speaker 1: of that. It's there for you. It's there for you

Speaker 1: to grow in your faith. John two, verse eleven. What

34
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first

35
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 1: of the signs through which he revealed his glory, and

36

Speaker 1: Shout out to him because he put me on this

44
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: documentary that I really enjoyed this week.

45
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 2: It's called Fire, The Greatest Party that Never Happened.

46
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: It's a documentary about one of the great scandals of

47
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: our day in regards to entertainment and social media. The

48
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: Fire Festival was created by Billy McFarlane and the legend

49
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: Jah Rule. It was to be the ultimate luxury music

50
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 1: experience on the private island of Ezuma in the Bahamas.

51
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: It was to take place over the course of two weekends,

52
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: one in April and the other in May of twenty seventeen.

53
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: Some of the world's top models and social media influencers

54
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: promoted the event simultaneously using the hashtag Fire Festival fire

55
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: with a Y in case you go home and watch it.

56
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: I'm not recommending movies from this pulpit, because I know

57
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: how legalistic some of you are, and you'd be instagram

58
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: messaging me about the bad words and this and that.

59
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: I'm not saying you should watch it. I'm just saying

60
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: it was awesome. And they put these orange tiles on

61
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: Instagram all at the same time. And because it was

62
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: people that have such clout, the festival sold out. The

63
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: music festival sold out in forty eight hours. In forty

64
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: eight hours, they sold tickets and day passes ranged from

65
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: five hundred to fifteen hundred dollars, and then the luxury

66
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: experience went up to twelve thousand dollars and some of

67
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: the packages were reported to be two hundred and fifty

68
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: thousand dollars for the luxury villas and stuff.

69
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 2: And they put these beautiful.

70
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: Pictures online of the festival, marketed toward millennials, and they

71
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 1: showed the island. They said that they and formerly belonged

72
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: to Pablo Escobar, and that you could come party like

73
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: Pablo Escobar with Instagram models in bikinis, white sand, clear

74
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: waters at the Fire Festival, and then you could get

75
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: a luxury.

76
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 2: Room villa. And they sketched that.

77
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: But when the millennials arrived and descended upon the Bahamas,

78
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: things were a little different than had been advertised. Turns

79
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 1: out that our boy Billy and Ja a first name

80
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: Bassis sold something that didn't necessarily exist in the same

81
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: form that they advertised it. When the customers arrived to

82
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 1: the Fire Festival in the Bahamas, they found disaster relief

83
00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 1: tents where the villas were supposed to be in gravel

84
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: parking lots in the parking lot of a Sandals resort.

85
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: Not to mention that instead of gourmet meals cooked by

86
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: five star world class chefs, they found apparently cheese sandwiches

87
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: in styrofoam boxes, and the festival never happened. The festival

88
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: never happened. Many were stranded, according to the documentary, in

89
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: the airport overnight without water. Twenty three year old kids

90
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: who paid twelve thousand dollars to see Blink one E

91
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:46,040
Speaker 1: two serves them right found themselves stranded in the Bahamas

92
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: with no fire festival. And one case study that I

93
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: read that said, you know, now, Billy McFarland is in

94
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: jail for wire fraud, but it was suggesting that this

95
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 1: was the ultimate coldultural case study in Fomo that never

96
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: have we seen, because people were so afraid that this

97
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: would happen without them. The fear of missing out, which

98
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: I don't struggle with as much.

99
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 2: I don't struggle with.

100
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: The fear of missing out more like for me, the

101
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: fear of running out. That's more what I deal with.

102
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: I'm a pretty lazy person. I'm pretty boring. I'm not

103
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 1: lazy about the things that matter. But somebody's like, you know,

104
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 1: there's a lunar eclipse tonight, and I'm like, eh, somebody

105
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: will take a picture. You know, what time is it

106
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: that ten forty five. I'll check it out tomorrow. You know,

107
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: it's the ones in a lifetime. Think it'll be on YouTube.

108
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: You know, that's kind of my thing. I'm finding miss out.

109
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: But fear of running out, faux row, fomo, not so

110
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: much faux row. Fear of running out I think about

111
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: all the time. And that's why the documentary was visceral

112
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: to me, because even though the guy was a scam artist,

113
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 1: I guess because I guess because my fear in life

114
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 1: is not having what I'm supposed to have and people

115
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: show up expecting something that I can't give. Even in church,

116
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: I'm always so nervous that I won't be able to

117
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: get my energy up to the level that I need

118
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: to get it to to connect with you, because sometimes

119
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: you come in with very low energy. I'm just being honest,

120
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: But I know you need a gourmet meal from the

121
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: word of God, and I don't want to hand you

122
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: a cheese sandwich and a styrofoam box. You know, I

123
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: don't want you to show up with a Fema tint

124
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: when you're expecting a villa and so.

125
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 2: But I'm scared of this. I'm scared of running out

126
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 2: all the time.

127
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: I'm constantly scared like my creativity is going to run

128
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: out because I need creativity to do what I do.

129
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: And even in writing sermons, you're kind of saying the

130
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: same things over and over again sometimes, and even though

131
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: the Bible has a lot of interesting stories and letters,

132
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: I'm scared, like, one time, maybe I'm opening my Bible

133
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: and I won't be able to find a sermon, you know,

134
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: And sometimes it gets late in the week, and I'm

135
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: so scared of running out. When we write worship song,

136
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 1: I'm always like, how many different ways can we say God?

137
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:05,239
Speaker 2: You're good?

138
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: I trust you, you know, there's different ways. I'm not

139
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: saying that God is simple. I'm just saying sometimes I'm like, oh,

140
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: can we write another song can be appreciate. I'm scared

141
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: of running out of time. I always feel like I

142
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: don't have enough time. Always feel like like I'm gonna

143
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: run out of time raising my kids. I'm scared to

144
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: dead that I won't get everything instilled in them in

145
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: the time they're in my house, and then they will

146
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: end up on a therapist couch too fifty an hour

147
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: because something I didn't teach them, or Abby is gonna

148
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: marry some jerk because maybe I didn't teach her what

149
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: a man should be like, because I don't know how

150
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: to fix cars, and since she never saw me fix cars,

151
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: she's gonna end up, you know, on the corner. I'm

152
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: scared about this stuff. I'm scared like that they're gonna leave.

153
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 1: I know it's dark, right, and I'm scared that I'm

154
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna send my kids out and they're not

155
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 1: gonna have what they need for the world because I

156
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 1: ran out of time to give it to them. I'm

157
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: scared then I'm gonna run out of money. I'm more

158
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 1: scared now then I'm gonna run out of money than

159
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: I was when I was twenty two and we didn't

160
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: have any money. I can't figure out how. The more

161
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: we got of it, the more I started to depend

162
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 1: on it, and now it consumes more of your time.

163
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: You think you'll get to an amount of money where

164
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: you'll no longer be scared of running out. All money

165
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: is going to do is create more obligations. All more

166
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: money is going to do is create a bigger lifestyle.

167
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: And now you will need more money to create the lifestyle,

168
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: so you really won't lose the fear of running out.

169
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: It will just be on a larger scale and you'll

170
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: have more to lose. I'm so scared of running out.

171
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,839
Speaker 1: Fomo not so much. Fro yo.

172
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 2: Never liked this stuff, fou roh.

173
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: So when they got there and they didn't have it,

174
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: I was like John chapter two. That's how my mind works,

175
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: the fear of running out. What if I don't have

176
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: what they need? What if I can't be who they need?

177
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 1: Any new parents? Any new parents? Yeah you don't. You

178
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 1: don't have what those kids need. It's gonna have to

179
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: come from God. Please believe me. Did you figure this

180
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: out yet? Have you already got the baby or you're

181
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: expecting or what? Yeah?

182
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:22,959
Speaker 2: Over there?

183
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: Any kids? You just came here to get a break?

184
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 2: Is this your date?

185
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 1: This is a good way to do a date, by

186
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 1: the way, wasn't it? Yeah?

187
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 2: Freak ch out here.

188
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: Now you you gotta understand. This was the first sign.

189
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: Jesus did way more signs than John puts in his gospel.

190
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: And he uses the word sign, not miracle, because he

191
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 1: believes it's pointing to something deeper. That's what a sign does.

192
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: That's why that says exit because of the door. The

193
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: sign is worthless if that's just a wall. It's pointing

194
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: to something. And when you see things in Scripture a

195
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: lot of times you're going to see it on a

196
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: natural level, but then it's going to point to something

197
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 1: beneath the surface, like life does. Like there are things

198
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,079
Speaker 1: going on in your life right now that are trying to.

199
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 2: Point you to something deeper.

200
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,719
Speaker 1: There are things you're experiencing in your life right now,

201
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: but the surface is not the story.

202
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:22,719
Speaker 2: There is a deeper meaning for it.

203
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 1: And so John says in his gospel that if he

204
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 1: were to write down everything that Jesus did, he said,

205
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: the world would not have room for the books that

206
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: would be written.

207
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 2: This was before Wikipedia.

208
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: Now you could put it all out there, but at

209
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: the time he said, if I wrote it all down,

210
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: I'd run out of room.

211
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 2: So he chose to number seven.

212
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: It's the number that represents completion in the Bible, and

213
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: it's the days of the week. The world was created

214
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: in seven days. It's a symbolic number in the Bible.

215
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: Seven is all over the Bible. He uses the number seven,

216
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: and he puts in the Bible seven signs that Jesus performed.

217
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 2: To point to who he was.

218
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: Everything that God does for you is to point to who.

219
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 2: He wants to be to you.

220
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 1: And if you only live at the level of what

221
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: he does for you, but miss what he is trying

222
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,479
Speaker 1: to point to that he wants to be to you.

223
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: You can receive resource from the Lord without revelation of

224
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: the Lord who gave the resource. And if your attachment

225
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 1: is to the resource, then you will always run out

226
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,359
Speaker 1: at some point. If your attachment is to the revelation,

227
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: you will always know who he is. And so whatever

228
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: you need, he can be, because he is the Great.

229
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: I am shout about it for five seconds so I

230
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: can move on. Seven signs he says. He says, I'm

231
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: gonna give you seven. I'm gonna give you seven. The

232
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 1: second sign that Jesus did in John's Gospel is when

233
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 1: he in John chapter four he healed a royal official son.

234
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: In John chapter five, he healed a man at the

235
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: pool of Bethesda who had been lame for thirty eight

236
00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 1: years and was waiting for the angel to stir.

237
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:12,079
Speaker 2: Up the water.

238
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: But Jesus came on the scene and said, you don't

239
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: have to wait for somebody to stir up the water.

240
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 2: The living water has come to you.

241
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: And since you can't move and you're sitting by this pool,

242
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: I'm going to bring to you what you could not

243
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: get for yourself.

244
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 2: He flipped the flow. He flipped the flow.

245
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: I could preciate this series for another year and not

246
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: exhaust all the times that Jesus flipped the flow. In fact,

247
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 1: in John chapter six, this was the fourth sign that

248
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: Jesus recorded in John's Gospel. Jesus was looking at some

249
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: hungry people, and a little boy had a styrofoam box

250
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 1: with a cheese sandwich and jeez fish and loaves.

251
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 2: But I'm modernized here.

252
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: Jesus took it and blessed it, and broke it and

253
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: gave it to them, and they all they went from

254
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: hungry to full. They went from hungry.

255
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:55,920
Speaker 2: To a kid.

256
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: In another bite, they went from hungry. Would you like

257
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 1: to see the dessert menu? No, I'm full. That was

258
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: the sign in John chapter six. In John chapter six,

259
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 1: Jesus also walked out.

260
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 2: On water to his disciples.

261
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: He had sent them to the other side, but they

262
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: encountered a storm. And what was really most important wasn't

263
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: what was on the other side, but what they went

264
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: through to get there. Because when they went through the storm,

265
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 1: it gave him an opportunity to reveal who he was

266
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: in a way that they couldn't have seen if they

267
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: didn't go through the storm.

268
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 2: So he's trying to get us to see you see

269
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 2: the sign.

270
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: He's trying to get you to see that the storm

271
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: points to something that is deeper than what you can

272
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: see on the surface. To show you that the power

273
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: of God on the inside of you is greater than

274
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: the wind that blows against you. He gives them a sign.

275
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: In John chapter nine, he heals a man born blind.

276
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: The man didn't do anything to be blind, his parents

277
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: didn't do anything to make him blind. Jesus said this

278
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: was to reveal the glory of God. He is using

279
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: something that the man can't see to show the man

280
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: something that physical eyes cannot It's a sign. He's trying

281
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: to show something deeper until John chapter eleven, when he

282
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: shows the ultimate sign that foreshadows the very work that

283
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: he came to do. When he shows up at lazarus

284
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: house late after Lazarus has died, misses his healing appointment

285
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: and tells him come out of the tomb because he

286
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: had to show them. You've seen me as a healer,

287
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: but now it's time for a deeper expression of your

288
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: understanding of me. Because even when I don't show up

289
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 1: when you want me to show up in your life,

290
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: I already have in mind what I'm going to do.

291
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: And even if they've wrapped you in graveclothes and buried you,

292
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: if you have the faith to come forth, I can

293
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 1: still speak a word that will bring you out of

294
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:46,560
Speaker 1: any situation, because I am the resurrection and the life.

295
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: Somebody shot God, give me a sign. Just wanted a sign,

296
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: So Jesus gave him a sign. So what was the

297
00:15:56,080 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: first one? Those were the six, but the first one

298
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 1: was And I know some of you, some of you

299
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: already know. Some of you really really really really really

300
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: know your Bible. And when I said John chapter two,

301
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: you were like water into wine, you know, and you're right.

302
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: But if you would have shouted out, I would have

303
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: ruined my setup because you already know. But you know,

304
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: sometimes we have the curse of knowledge and we think

305
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: we know something and we.

306
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 2: Do know it at the surface.

307
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: But why did Jesus turn water into wine? And I'm

308
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: going to show you, And this is so powerful God,

309
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: I'm excited. I hadn't had this much fun preaching in

310
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: a long time as I'm having today. I think it's

311
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: the dnum. Holly said, I don't wear enough color up here,

312
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: so I like black. It's slimmy. Dark colors. Dark colors.

313
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: Now go back to John chapter two, verse one, somebody

314
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: shall flip it. Jesus shows up on the third day

315
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: at a wedding which took place in Cana in Galilee.

316
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: This is a small place, not necessarily an important place,

317
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: but nevertheless, Jesus's mother was there at a wedding, and

318
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 1: Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding.

319
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: When the wine was gone, the miracle started. You missed

320
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 1: it when they ran out of what they brought, when

321
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: they ran out of what they planned for, which to

322
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 1: us would not.

323
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 2: Be the biggest deal.

324
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: You know, you run out of wine at a wedding,

325
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 1: and it's probably a good thing because you got crazy

326
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 1: family members and when they drink too much, they start

327
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 1: fighting any way, and one of them ends up in jail.

328
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 1: But in this culture, it was the epitome of dishonor

329
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: to invite a guest and to not be able to provide.

330
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 1: And this wedding was not a you know how we

331
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 1: do a wedding and it's like forty minutes and then

332
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: in a reception.

333
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 2: This was more like the fire festival. It was supposed

334
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 2: to last a week.

335
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: The wedding would last a week, and everybody showed up

336
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: expecting that at whatever point they showed up at the

337
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,439
Speaker 1: wedding there would still be something to drink, that there

338
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: would still you know, to show up at a wedding

339
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: and there to be no wine. It was actually recorded

340
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: that if the groom, who was responsible to make sure

341
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 1: that the wedding went off right, if he did not

342
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: provide everything that necessity required, he could be sued by

343
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: his mother in law. You thought you had family drama, right,

344
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: but Jesus shows up at the wedding and they run

345
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: out of wine. Now, I don't want to skip over this.

346
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: What have you run out of? What are you running

347
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 1: out of?

348
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 2: Right now?

349
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 1: What are you constantly afraid of running out of? Is

350
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: it wisdom?

351
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 2: Is it peace? Is it ideas?

352
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: Are you out of ideas for how to fix a relationship?

353
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: Are you out of ideas for how to reach a

354
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 1: level of success that you thought you would have been

355
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,959
Speaker 1: at four years ago? What are you running out of?

356
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,439
Speaker 1: What have you run out of? The worst thing is

357
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,199
Speaker 1: the run out of gas when you're the one driving.

358
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: The worst thing is for people to show up to

359
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,679
Speaker 1: your kitchen and all you have is cheese and brand.

360
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: The worst thing is when you know that people expect

361
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: something of you because some of you you're the life

362
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 1: of the party, some of you you're the strong one.

363
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: Some of you you are the one that people come

364
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: to with their problems, and they don't know you are

365
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 1: sick of being the place where they dump their crap.

366
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 1: You got your own sewage, and I keep backing up

367
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: and dumping more on you, and they don't even know

368
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 1: how close you are to quitting. And you're running out.

369
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 1: And that's why I like this, because you don't have

370
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: to say it out loud. I'll say it for you.

371
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:21,399
Speaker 1: Everybody in here is running out of something not wine.

372
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:25,439
Speaker 1: How about joy? How about how? How about how you

373
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: haven't been happy in a long time? How about that

374
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: the last time I was up here, I preached on joy.

375
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: Did you hear that sermon? It sounds like it meant

376
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:37,159
Speaker 1: a lot to you. Praise the Lord? Why do I

377
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: do this? Were you here when I preached on joy? Well,

378
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 1: since since wine represents joy, I thought it'd be good

379
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: to stay in this flow. But Jesus comes to the

380
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:53,200
Speaker 1: wedding and he's a guest. But he's about to provide

381
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: what the host could not provide. Why he did not

382
00:20:57,440 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 1: come to demand righteousness. He came to provide righteousness. He

383
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: flipped the flow. The first thing Jesus did was to

384
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 1: take away the shame of a couple who had run

385
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 1: out of what they were unable to provide. That's the

386
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: first thing he does when he comes in your life.

387
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 1: He doesn't just expose your shame. He doesn't just come

388
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: to condemn you. He doesn't just come to point out

389
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,640
Speaker 1: everything that's wrong with you. He says, I didn't come

390
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 1: just to show you your shame. I came to take

391
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: it away. Look the lamb of God who takes away

392
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 1: the sin of the world. Oh I'm happy about it.

393
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: I need the Lord in my life because because I'm

394
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: so I'm so scared I'm gonna run out. And yet

395
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,959
Speaker 1: the Bible says that Jesus didn't do anything about it.

396
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 1: He let it run out. He let it run out,

397
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: He let it happen like he often will do. Until

398
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: watsh this. When the wine was gone, Jesus' mother said

399
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 1: to him, they gotta imagine the wine's really important at

400
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: the wedding. This is not the first person who has

401
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: discovered that it's gone. They probably had many discussions and

402
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: there's probably been a lot of finger pointing. That's one

403
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: thing on that documentary I watch, everybody was saying it

404
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: was everybody's fault. Everybody was pointing. Everybody was pointing at

405
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,199
Speaker 1: somebody else. Well, we didn't know what, we didn't know,

406
00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 1: what we didn't know? How did you not know? That's

407
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: what we wanted to know, is how did you not know?

408
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: But Jesus's mother knew something. Rather, she knew someone, and

409
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 1: she did something interesting. She didn't go to the wedding planner.

410
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: She didn't go to the couple Jesus's mother when the

411
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: wine was gone, Jesus's mother married. Did you know? Yes,

412
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 1: she knew, she knew, She didn't know what to do,

413
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,239
Speaker 1: but she knew who to go to.

414
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:03,479
Speaker 2: I'm gona preach this message today.

415
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: I'm coming for it today because you don't know what

416
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: to do right now, right but if you know who

417
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: to go to and see a lot of the reason

418
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 1: you've been running out is because you've been running around

419
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:18,919
Speaker 1: to people who don't have what you need. They don't

420
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 1: have it, they can't give it, They got their own stuff.

421
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 1: They're running dry too. But if you go to the

422
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: man from Galilee, if you go to the one whose

423
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:36,400
Speaker 1: name is life. She came to Jesus and said they

424
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: have no more wine. She didn't tell him about the solution.

425
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,239
Speaker 1: She just told him the need. She just told him

426
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 1: what he already knew. I promise you he already knew.

427
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 1: How do I know he already knew because he was

428
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,880
Speaker 1: the word from the beginning. If he spoke the grapes

429
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 1: onto the vine, he certainly knew that they didn't bring enough.

430
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 1: I know he knew because in John chapter six, when

431
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: he turned the Little Boy's value pack Chick fil a

432
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 1: value pack, when he turned it into a buffet all

433
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: you can eat buffet, he asked Philip, what are we

434
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: gonna do about this? And Philip was an accountant, so

435
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 1: Philip was like, if we did, the Times doesn't carry

436
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: the one ton can't do it. But the Bible says,

437
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 1: give me John sixty six. I know I didn't use

438
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:30,479
Speaker 1: it in the last one, but I want to use

439
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 1: it because these people want it. They really really wanted.

440
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 1: These people are hungry, These people want the word of God.

441
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: He asked this only to test him, for he already knew.

442
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: He already knew what he was gonna do. How cool

443
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: is that? You mean? I'm coming before God praying a

444
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: lot of times, and I'm like, like, I'm God's administrative assistant,

445
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: you know, Like, Lord, just reminding you about that appointment

446
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: you missed last week when I asked you to help

447
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 1: me with the thing and I told you to fix them.

448
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: You didn't fix them, So just putting it back on

449
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 1: your calendar if you get around to it. Lord, he's

450
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:05,840
Speaker 1: you know, if you get because you know, and then

451
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 1: this other thing over here blah blah blah blah blah.

452
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: And lately I've been praying like this. You already know.

453
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: I know, you know, I know you know. That's why

454
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: Mary went to Jesus, even though it wasn't his job.

455
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 1: He was just a guest at the wedding, but she

456
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:26,719
Speaker 1: knew what was in him because he had been in her.

457
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: And when Christ is in you and you are in Christ,

458
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 1: you already know how many of you you already know

459
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,959
Speaker 1: that God will do it, You just don't know how. Okay,

460
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: that's all Mary knew. Mary, did you know? Mary be like, Yeah,

461
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 1: I knew he would, but I didn't know how he would.

462
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:54,480
Speaker 2: I didn't. I didn't know how.

463
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 1: But see, every need in your life is pointing you

464
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 1: to a deeper source. Every sign that John recorded was

465
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: pointing to something deeper. Every need that you experience in

466
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,479
Speaker 1: your life is pointing you to a deeper place in

467
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 1: God that you can access, a deeper place of strength,

468
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: a deeper place of confidence, a deeper place of health,

469
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 1: a deeper place of relationship, a deeper place of dependence.

470
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 1: Everything is pointing to something deeper. So when she said

471
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: they have no more wine, Jesus responded, and I don't

472
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 1: recommend this as like something to say to your mom

473
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: or your wife Verse four, Woman, why do you involve me?

474
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 1: That's not like a great marriage seminar Love Languages verse.

475
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 1: But she didn't tell Jesus the need to inform him

476
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: like we do. She didn't pray like a ritual in God,

477
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: bless me today as I go to the thing and

478
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 1: after the thing, and God just let me go through

479
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: my list and worry about it and say that I'm praying,

480
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,919
Speaker 1: But really all I'm doing is worrying out loud with

481
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: my eyes closed. She wasn't. She wasn't doing it to

482
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: inform him. She was doing it to involve him because

483
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: she knew if he gets involved, I don't know what

484
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 1: he'll do, but I know who he is. Now, I'm

485
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: gonna need you to shout right now if you know

486
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,679
Speaker 1: who he is. Come on, Blakeney, don't be quiet. I

487
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: know you love the Lord. I need you to shout

488
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:38,439
Speaker 1: right now. If you know who he is, I know

489
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: who to go to. I lift my eyes to the

490
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: hill and his mother watched this. His mother goes to him.

491
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 1: He says to his mother, my woman, I'm gonna start

492
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: talking to Holliday woman, you know, help them with their homework. Woman,

493
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 1: you involve me. That's my favorite verse this year. I'm

494
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,199
Speaker 1: gonna use that luck this year. Well, I'm in why

495
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: you involve me? Jesus My hour is not yet come.

496
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 1: He's talking about the cross, but she needs him to

497
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,359
Speaker 1: do something right now. Some of us have things that

498
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 1: we need God to do. Now. We really do we

499
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: need him now? Yeah, I'm going to heaven when I die.

500
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 1: And yeah, there's a white horse that I read about

501
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: in the Book of Revelation, the Book of Revelations, and

502
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 1: people put an ass on it. Book of Revelations, Walmarts Revelations. Yeah,

503
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 1: it's great, But how about now? And so watch what

504
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 1: she does. She doesn't argue, she doesn't convince, she doesn't

505
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: beg In fact, she doesn't talk to Jesus anymore. She

506
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: turns away from Jesus, points to the people who are

507
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:48,280
Speaker 1: working at the wedding, and verse five, she said to

508
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 1: the servants, do whatever he tells you, because if you

509
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: start moving in faith, he's gonna do something. I don't

510
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: know why he didn't tell me. I don't know the details,

511
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: I don't know the plan. I went to a wedding planner.

512
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: This isn't even my party. But if you'll start moving,

513
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: if you'll start obeying, if you'll take a step, you're

514
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: gonna see something. I say, sign and and she said,

515
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 1: do whatever he tells you.

516
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 2: Now, I know what you're thinking. I already know. I

517
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 2: already know. I already know what you're thinking.

518
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: I would if I knew what do.

519
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 2: You wanted me to do?

520
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: I would? I would, you know, do whatever he tells

521
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: you to do. That's such a great thing to say

522
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: on Sunday morning. How about about this this this apartment

523
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: that I'm living in right now, and I don't know

524
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: whether I should move out of this apartment and you know,

525
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: we get really weird sometimes too. Write like people do

526
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: all kinds of stuff and say that God told them

527
00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: to do it.

528
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 2: Okay, a couple of yard new to church.

529
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 1: There's probably one of these weird people within like three

530
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: rows of you that God has to tell them what

531
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: color to wear in the morning. It's it's it's paralyzing,

532
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 1: you know. And and they'll make stuff up. It's like

533
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: a cognitive bias thing as well. It's like, well, I

534
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: was praying about, you know, whether I should date him,

535
00:30:23,360 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: and then I went and and uh, I went to

536
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: elevation and Pastor Steve he was preaching on a best

537
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: Steve he's preaching on he's preaching on John and his name.

538
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: The guy's name is James, and it's close. They both

539
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: start with Jay. So I'm gonna dat him right. It's

540
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 1: a sign. And but sometimes the way God speaks, it's

541
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,360
Speaker 1: like the Lord was saying to me the other day

542
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: because I was praying about, you know, I don't know

543
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: whether to do this or that, and and I know

544
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: you have situations that are nuanced, and I really don't

545
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: like preaching that doesn't respect nuance. I really think it's

546
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 1: in some ways it's misleading for people to say, you know,

547
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 1: it's just simple, do whatever he tells.

548
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 2: You to do, because sometimes I don't know what that is.

549
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: And sometimes I don't know if I should take the

550
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: job and make a little more money, but it's gonna

551
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: take me away from my family more.

552
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 2: But I need to be here for my kids.

553
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 1: But I also need to be able to send them

554
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 1: to college in four years, and I need to be

555
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 1: able to provide for him.

556
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:16,720
Speaker 2: So I'm kind of caught between.

557
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: I don't really know what he wants me to do

558
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: because I can't find a Bible verse about whether I

559
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: should live in Atlanta or Charlotte.

560
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 2: You know, but let me just say something.

561
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: There's traffic in both cities, and there's problems in both cities,

562
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: and there's ups and downs to both cities. You know,

563
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 1: where am I going to go to college? I see

564
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: a wing Get shirt over there. Where am I going

565
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: to go to college? You know, you can live for

566
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 1: the lord at Wingott or at Wafford. You could live

567
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: for the lord either place. It's not as important. I mean,

568
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: go where the scholarship money is. Or if there's no

569
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 1: scholarship money, you know, go but it's more important what

570
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: kind of friends you make the first week of college

571
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: than it is, whether it's Winget or Wafford. Can I

572
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: preach a little bit civil Lord was speaking to me.

573
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: I was like, if I knew what to do, I

574
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 1: would do it. And God said, if you would do

575
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 1: what you knew, you see the flip. You see the

576
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: flip because I'm waiting for new information from God. And

577
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: God is like, all right, what do you already know?

578
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: I'm speaking to somebody today who has run out and

579
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: you don't know what to do, and you don't have

580
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: the wisdom, you don't have the experience, you don't have that.

581
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. I didn't. You know, it's really hard

582
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: to do something you don't have a context for. But

583
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 1: if you would do what you knew, what do you

584
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: already know? I mean, I know for one that gratitude

585
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: is the gateway to joy, so much so that I

586
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: bought a I bought a journal and put it by

587
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 1: my bed. It's a gratitude journal. It's orange like everything

588
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: else in this church, and like God's favorite team, the

589
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 1: Clemson Tigers, who he has anointed with the fresh oil

590
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: of yet another national championship for the glory of his

591
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: name his kingdom.

592
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 2: Come.

593
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: Some of y'all look like you hate me right now.

594
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: But I find out the Gratitude Journal doesn't bless me

595
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: if I don't open it and write in it. And

596
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 1: I already know that, but I hadn't touched it in

597
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: seven months, and it's got dust on it. And then

598
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 1: I'm going to go to God at some point, praying

599
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: that he'll help me to feel joy. But I already

600
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: knew what to do. I didn't do it. I got

601
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: seventeen books on my kindle that I bought last year

602
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 1: that I read one chapter of. I probably don't need

603
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: to buy another book this year, and you might not either.

604
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 1: I'm serious. I'm a preach till us so quiet that

605
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 1: you think we is elevation press material and Episcopalian cemetery service.

606
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:08,240
Speaker 1: Look at me. You know enough right now? I promise

607
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 1: you do. I promise you do. You know enough right

608
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 1: now to be physically fit. I'm just saying you might

609
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: not need Men's Fitness with Hugh Jackman's workout to do

610
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 1: some push ups and to take less calor. But but

611
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: we're addicted to knowledge. We're addicted to you know, Ah,

612
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: if I knew what to do, if I knew, if

613
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 1: I knew, if I could do this diet over here,

614
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 1: and I heard about this and this celebrity diet, and

615
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 1: I gotta do this thing. I heard about this uh kombucha.

616
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 2: If I drink that, then my gut will be held.

617
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 1: You know you already know. Touch somebody and say you

618
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:50,760
Speaker 1: already know. You know push ups, you know sit ups,

619
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 1: you already know. Get a trainer if you want, But

620
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 1: the trainer will not transform you. If you if you

621
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: know what to do and you do what you know,

622
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 1: you will know what to do. Come on, God, I

623
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: don't need you to clarify. I need you to give

624
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 1: me courage to do what I knew that I didn't

625
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 1: do last time. I knew I needed to humble myself.

626
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: I knew I needed. Some of us know exactly what

627
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 1: we need to do, but we don't want to do it.

628
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 1: So we want to pile more knowledge on top of

629
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,040
Speaker 1: the last thing we didn't do that he gave us

630
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 1: to do. Wow, I'm preaching, mom.

631
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 2: They might not come back next week, but I'm preaching.

632
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:38,400
Speaker 1: I'm preaching because there's three things that Jesus points to.

633
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:40,280
Speaker 2: And I want to give.

634
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 1: This to you because I believe that God already knows.

635
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: Somebody say, he already knows. I know the plans I

636
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 1: have for you, plans to prosper you, not to harm you.

637
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 1: But there's something that you don't know that you can't know.

638
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:56,760
Speaker 1: It is not in the knowing, but in the doing

639
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 1: that the miracle happens. Praise God. Did you feel this word? Man?

640
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 2: It might be just for you. God might have gave

641
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 2: me this message just for you. I don't doubt it.

642
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 2: He's that good.

643
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:11,400
Speaker 1: Do you believe that he would put this in me

644
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 1: just for you?

645
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 2: I do so.

646
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 1: I was noticing the details because his mother said, do

647
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 1: whatever he tells you to do, and don't do what

648
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:20,359
Speaker 1: everybody else tells you to do, because you spend all

649
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 1: your energy doing what everybody else tells you to do,

650
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:23,399
Speaker 1: and then not have the strength to do the thing

651
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 1: God called you to do, saying yes to everything else.

652
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 1: But what God gave you to do, do whatever he

653
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 1: tells you to do, and so listen. So Jesus, he

654
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: wasn't reluctant to get involved. He just needed their involvement,

655
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: and he tells him to do something.

656
00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 2: Look at it.

657
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: In verse six, it says nearby stood six stone water jars.

658
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 2: What kind of jars?

659
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: Stonewater jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing.

660
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 1: They were common, They were there for a common purpose,

661
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,360
Speaker 1: each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.

662
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 2: They were big. That's a big goal. In fact, by.

663
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 1: The time they did what he said in verse seven,

664
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:11,840
Speaker 1: Jesus said, the servants filled the jars with water. So

665
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:13,919
Speaker 1: they filled them to the brim, which would have made

666
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:17,720
Speaker 1: one thousand bottles of wine, more than they needed. Because

667
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 1: he's a god of more than enough. He is a

668
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: god of more than enough. It's not that he doesn't

669
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:28,919
Speaker 1: have it. It's that we're so busy pointing to what's

670
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: not there that we miss what is.

671
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:33,879
Speaker 2: And that's why we got to flip the flow.

672
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 1: And the Bible says that not even knowing what would

673
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 1: happen when they did it, because they needed wine. But

674
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,399
Speaker 1: he points to water. He doesn't point to what they need.

675
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: He points to what they have. And then he told them,

676
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 1: now draw some out and take it to the master

677
00:37:54,080 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 1: of the banquet.

678
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 2: They did so. They did it. They just bid it.

679
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 2: They had a nike uh mentality.

680
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 1: They just did it. Swoosh, I'm looking for a sponsorship

681
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to work this in, trying to get

682
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: us some money for the expansion program. They did so,

683
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: and the master of the banquet tasted the one that

684
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 1: had been turned the water that had been turned into one.

685
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 1: Now he tasted the product, but he did not understand

686
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: the process. He didn't know. He did not realize where

687
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,280
Speaker 1: it had come from, though the servants knew. Touch somebody

688
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: who say, you already know. You know who knows what

689
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: God is doing in the earth today, those who serve him,

690
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 1: not just those who come and sip, but those who

691
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: serve those who involved. I want to thank God for

692
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:43,360
Speaker 1: every volunteer in this church, for everybody who served something today,

693
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:46,359
Speaker 1: for every e group leader in this church. I thank

694
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 1: God for you, because you already know that it's more

695
00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 1: blessed to give than receive. Not those who sit, but

696
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: those who serve.

697
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:57,800
Speaker 2: That's who God blesses the most. Amen.

698
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 1: He did not realize where it did come from, though

699
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 1: the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he

700
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 1: called the bridegroom aside and said, you flipped the flow,

701
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 1: because everybody brings out the choice wine first, and then

702
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 1: the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much

703
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:20,439
Speaker 1: to drink. That's the way the world works. It's good

704
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:24,560
Speaker 1: for a little while and then it runs out. He said,

705
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:28,879
Speaker 1: you did it different. It got better and better and

706
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 1: sweeter and sweeter. I've come to tell you your best

707
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 1: days are not behind you. God is not like that.

708
00:39:37,040 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 1: He didn't let you run out because he left you.

709
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,359
Speaker 1: He let it run out so he could give you

710
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 1: something better than what you brought to the party to

711
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 1: begin with. Yeah, you flipped the flow. You have saved

712
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: first ten, the best till now. But how did he

713
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 1: do it? How did he? How did he do it?

714
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 1: Because everything you're running out of in your life today

715
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 1: is in Jesus, It's in him. But there's three things

716
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,320
Speaker 1: I want to show you, and we'll go quickly, quickly, quickly.

717
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 1: Number One, it's not going to be in the places

718
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 1: you expect it's going to be.

719
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:20,320
Speaker 2: It's going to be Number one, nearby.

720
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:25,080
Speaker 1: It's not going to be by you moving to a

721
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: new situation or thinking that your solution is out there somewhere.

722
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:32,760
Speaker 1: It's not going to be distant. It's going to be nearby.

723
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,760
Speaker 1: Verse six, Where were the stone water jars? Pay attention

724
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: to the details.

725
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:37,280
Speaker 2: Nearby?

726
00:40:38,680 --> 00:40:41,439
Speaker 1: Where is the help that God has given you for

727
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 1: the shortage in your life. It's nearby. It's nearby. The

728
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 1: reason we don't see what's nearby is because when something

729
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: is close, we see it as common. These were stone

730
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 1: jars made of earth. They were leak proof so that

731
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: they wouldn't be ceremonially unclean. But there was nothing gold

732
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 1: plated about them. These were not iced out jars. That's

733
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: not what made them special. What was special was what

734
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 1: was inside. But they didn't have to go, you know,

735
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 1: Jesus right here could have been like the disciples go

736
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 1: to town.

737
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:14,880
Speaker 2: You got to get some one.

738
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 1: But the thing about Cana is in the middle of nowhere,

739
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,840
Speaker 1: so they can't go get anything. So they have to

740
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 1: use something nearby. I wonder what's nearby that if you

741
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 1: pour yourself into it, God can flow again through your life.

742
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: It's nearby. It's so close. Like remember they all came

743
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 1: in the party and wash their hands. So the miracle

744
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:42,640
Speaker 1: was in something that they had already walked by to

745
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 1: get to the party. The miracle is in something that

746
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 1: you're walking by every day. It's in a Bible reading

747
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 1: plan that you already started, but you just quit it and.

748
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 2: You can pick it back up.

749
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 1: The wisdom that you need might be in the wife

750
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:58,359
Speaker 1: that you chose to do life with six years ago,

751
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 1: but you don't want to listen to her because she's nearby.

752
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 1: So I will see men go to conferences to learn

753
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,479
Speaker 1: how to be a better man, but they won't even

754
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 1: listen to their own wife because they don't want to

755
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 1: be humble. I'm telling you it's nearby. It's not out there.

756
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:18,399
Speaker 1: That's not where the provision is. It's not somewhere out there.

757
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:22,400
Speaker 1: It's nearby. It's gonna be so close you'll miss it

758
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,800
Speaker 1: if you're not careful. It's gonna be so close you

759
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:27,320
Speaker 1: walk in. I'll tell you it's something that you're walking

760
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:29,400
Speaker 1: by right now. You've been praying for it. It's an

761
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 1: orange gratitude journal, this right there on your bed. It's

762
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 1: an exercise plan that you already know to do. It's

763
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:37,840
Speaker 1: gonna be nearby, and it's gonna be normal. That's the

764
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: second thing. It's gonna be normal. It's not gonna feel

765
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 1: so supernatural. It's gonna feel natural, and then it's gonna

766
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:47,359
Speaker 1: be super But you can't wait for something special. You've

767
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 1: got to embrace something normal. We have this treasure in

768
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 1: earth and vessels, that the excellency of the power might

769
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:57,200
Speaker 1: be from God and not from us, is coming through

770
00:42:57,200 --> 00:43:02,800
Speaker 1: something normal. It's gonna be normal. It's gonna be habits,

771
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 1: it's gonna be discipline. It's gonna be normal. God, use

772
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 1: me go home and have dinner with your family. It's

773
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:15,239
Speaker 1: gonna be normal. It's not gonna be exciting. It's not

774
00:43:15,280 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 1: gonna be sexy. It's not gonna be Instagram models in

775
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 1: bikinis on the beach. It's gonna be normal. It's gonna

776
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:24,879
Speaker 1: be normal. Tell somebody's gonna be normal. Tell them it's

777
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:28,360
Speaker 1: gonna be natural. But it's gonna be super. When God

778
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:32,399
Speaker 1: gets done with normal what happens on the inside of

779
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:36,240
Speaker 1: what looks normal on the outside, God is doing something

780
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 1: in me. And I wonder what you've been walking by

781
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 1: because it looks normal. You don't even notice it because

782
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 1: it's nearby and it's normal, and it's now Jesus said, now,

783
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:58,840
Speaker 1: verse ay, now, everybody say now, not after I've explained

784
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: it to you. Now he didn't tell them. Now, when

785
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 1: you draw it out, it's gonna start to turn purple

786
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 1: like when you stir the kool aid, and it's gonna

787
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:10,160
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a fermentation process and we're gonna molecular

788
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 1: structure is going Let me draw it up for you, guys.

789
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:15,960
Speaker 1: This is okay, everybody, Come on in, Come on in, guys. Now,

790
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 1: I know you don't know what I'm gonna do, but

791
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,640
Speaker 1: I already know. I know you don't know why I'm

792
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 1: telling you to do this. But I know I know

793
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 1: you don't know why I'm telling you to forgive. But

794
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 1: I know what I want to do that I can't

795
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 1: do in your life if you have a clogged heart.

796
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 1: So do it now now now. Faith is a substance

797
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:40,880
Speaker 1: of things hoped for, and Jesus never points to what's

798
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:46,840
Speaker 1: next without dealing with what's now. Now, draw it out now.

799
00:44:47,480 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 1: I could imagine he could. He could have gone around

800
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:52,400
Speaker 1: the whole party. You should have planned better and you

801
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 1: should have known better. But he didn't do any of that.

802
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 1: Because he didn't point to what they should have done.

803
00:44:56,480 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 1: It doesn't do any good. He points to what it

804
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:07,359
Speaker 1: is now. Now, even though you've run, even though even

805
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 1: though you could have done better, I'm gonna tell you

806
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 1: could have done better.

807
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 2: Job. You need to fire your wedding planner.

808
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:15,240
Speaker 1: I hope you didn't give her too much of a deposit,

809
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:19,360
Speaker 1: because she really screwed this up. But now that's actually

810
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:22,919
Speaker 1: what Mary and Martha said to Jesus when he showed

811
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 1: up for Lazarus. If you would have been here, our

812
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:29,200
Speaker 1: brother would not have died. But even now, I feel

813
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:34,000
Speaker 1: the power of now on this word today, now, now, now, now,

814
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 1: now now, because the truth is, you might be running

815
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 1: out of time, and Jesus only had three years on earth.

816
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 1: It didn't crazy think about this. I'm almost done, y'all

817
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 1: got like five more minutes? Or am I out of time?

818
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,480
Speaker 1: I don't know how to receive that tepid encouragement. I

819
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 1: guess go if you need to go. I'm gonna talk

820
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 1: to who wants to hear this last part. I just

821
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:58,440
Speaker 1: study too much to get up here and let a

822
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 1: clock tell me when to quit, because I because I

823
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 1: I know what it feels like to be empty. I've

824
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 1: been there in my own life, you know, just dry

825
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:17,600
Speaker 1: and empty, and ah can if another person asked me

826
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:21,240
Speaker 1: if I don't even want to do it. But but

827
00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 1: but there's something significant, not only about what Jesus did

828
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 1: water interwine the law into the spirit.

829
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:31,880
Speaker 2: We could preach about that. We will one day that

830
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 2: he did.

831
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 1: It in a ceremonial jar and it was an idea,

832
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 1: the fact that the ceremonial washings of Moses were now

833
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 1: being replaced by the blood that would be shed. That's

834
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:42,799
Speaker 1: all in there. It's a sign. Its pointing to a lock.

835
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:47,879
Speaker 1: But why did he do it in Cana? Why did

836
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 1: he show his glory in Cana? And to understand this,

837
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 1: we need to meet Nathaniel. Because Nathaniel was a disciple

838
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:01,760
Speaker 1: who came to Jesus. Guess who brought him by the way, Philip,

839
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:05,000
Speaker 1: the one who Jesus said, where are we gonna get

840
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:05,880
Speaker 1: the bread from?

841
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:08,880
Speaker 2: But he already knew, I promise you he.

842
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:12,799
Speaker 1: Already knows, but he's just trying to make sure that

843
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 1: you know where it comes from.

844
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:22,759
Speaker 2: And Philip brought Nathaniel to Jesus pick it up.

845
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 1: In forty five, Philip found Nathaniel and told him, yeah,

846
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:26,280
Speaker 1: you can start playing.

847
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:27,960
Speaker 2: It'll hurry me along.

848
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 1: He found Nathaniel and told him, we have found the

849
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:37,279
Speaker 1: one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about whom

850
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:40,320
Speaker 1: the prophets also wrote Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

851
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:44,640
Speaker 1: There were four hundred and fifty six different expectations of

852
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:50,040
Speaker 1: the Jewish Messiah, and Philip was doing the math, you know,

853
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:51,280
Speaker 1: carry the one.

854
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:53,799
Speaker 2: It's like it was, and he said, I think this

855
00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:57,960
Speaker 2: is him. I think so. I'm not sure, but I think.

856
00:47:58,120 --> 00:47:59,120
Speaker 2: Come see.

857
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,920
Speaker 1: And Nathaniel starts trying to figure it out based on

858
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:05,840
Speaker 1: what he can understand. He's like, did you say Nazareth

859
00:48:05,880 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 1: that hick town? Said nazare Monk's corner. See, I'm used

860
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 1: to being from a place that people don't respect. When

861
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:18,040
Speaker 1: you say the name of it, Nazareth, can anything good

862
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 1: come from there? And Nathaniel asked the question, and Philip said,

863
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 1: I can't answer that, but you can come see now

864
00:48:25,480 --> 00:48:25,840
Speaker 1: watch this.

865
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 2: That's where it gets good.

866
00:48:28,200 --> 00:48:31,919
Speaker 1: When Jesus saw Nathaniel, I always preach John chapter two,

867
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 1: thinking that verse one is where it started on the

868
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:37,960
Speaker 1: third day Jesus went to Cana, But it started before that.

869
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 2: When Jesus saw Nathaniel approaching.

870
00:48:41,040 --> 00:48:45,399
Speaker 1: He said of him, here truly is an Israelite in

871
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:49,560
Speaker 1: whom there is no deceit. Now Nathaniel was kind of

872
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:54,840
Speaker 1: creeped out Verse forty eight. He said, how do you

873
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 1: know me? We have met? How do you how do

874
00:48:59,719 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 1: you know?

875
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 2: He said?

876
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:03,319
Speaker 1: I know what's in you, he said. But you don't

877
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 1: know me, he said, but I know what's in you.

878
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:10,720
Speaker 1: One time, when Elijah was little, he would walk around

879
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 1: the house.

880
00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:13,439
Speaker 2: How old was he? Two three?

881
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:16,239
Speaker 1: He'd walk around the house going, how do you know

882
00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:19,880
Speaker 1: my name? How do you know my name? How do

883
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:21,840
Speaker 1: you know my name? I think he heard it on

884
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:25,040
Speaker 1: a TV show and I thought that was so bizarre.

885
00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:27,840
Speaker 1: You know, he'd walk up, walk up to me and Holly,

886
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:29,719
Speaker 1: how do you know my name? How do you know

887
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 1: my name? I said, Because I made you, because I

888
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 1: gave you your name. I know who you are. I

889
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:42,759
Speaker 1: know what's in you. Jesus looks at Nathaniel len he

890
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:46,919
Speaker 1: knows what's in him because Nathaniel came from him.

891
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:47,759
Speaker 2: Now watch this.

892
00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:50,839
Speaker 1: This is so important for everybody who spends a lot

893
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 1: of time feeling like that what's against you is greater

894
00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 1: than what's in you. I want you to know that

895
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 1: God already knows what's against you, and he already knows

896
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:04,399
Speaker 1: what's in you.

897
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:06,360
Speaker 2: I said.

898
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:11,800
Speaker 1: He already knows what's against you, and he already knows

899
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:12,799
Speaker 1: what's in you.

900
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:14,759
Speaker 2: He said, I.

901
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:19,799
Speaker 1: I saw you while you were still under the fig

902
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 1: tree before Philip called you, and Nathaniel said, you saw me, Rabbi.

903
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:26,560
Speaker 1: You are the son of God, you are the King

904
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 1: of Israel. You hadn't even met me yet, and you

905
00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:32,040
Speaker 1: saw me before I was called. You mean you saw

906
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:34,879
Speaker 1: me in this situation before I was even in it.

907
00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 1: You saw me in this dry place before it even

908
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:42,439
Speaker 1: stopped raining. You saw me in this dumb decision. You

909
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:45,400
Speaker 1: saw me in this divorce, You saw me in this

910
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:46,280
Speaker 1: low place.

911
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:49,279
Speaker 2: Said yeah, I saw you.

912
00:50:51,520 --> 00:50:53,960
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have put you in it if I didn't

913
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:57,880
Speaker 1: put it in you. You've got it in you, and

914
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:01,080
Speaker 1: you will not run out, and will not run out,

915
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 1: and it will not run out. You will accomplish your purpose.

916
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:14,839
Speaker 1: You will fulfill you will complete your assignment. It is

917
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:15,279
Speaker 1: in you.

918
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:19,320
Speaker 2: I love Jesus.

919
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 1: He said, you believe because I told you that I

920
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 1: saw you under the fig tree.

921
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 2: You will see greater things than that.

922
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:32,399
Speaker 1: And then they went to Cana so Jesus could show

923
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:37,240
Speaker 1: Nathaniel what he just told him. I am the one

924
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 1: who flips the floor. I am the one come on,

925
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:44,520
Speaker 1: get happy, who gets grace for same. I am the

926
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:49,200
Speaker 1: one who turns rejection into blessing. I am the resurrection.

927
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:52,879
Speaker 1: I am the life. Your struggle is a sign, your

928
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:56,239
Speaker 1: setback is a sign. Your secrets are a sign. God
