Jesus turns water into wine: sermon on John 2:1-11

Image by: 96dpi

Introduction

In the days of Jesus weddings celebrations could last for over a week and food, drink and entertainment had to be provided for all the guests by the bridegroom. It would be a disgrace to the family if there was not plenty through out the time of the celebration. That was what was happening at the celebration Jesus was attending and His mother. Mary, asked Him to do something about the wine shortage. Thus the wonderful miracle of Jesus turning water into wine occurred. Serving the best of everything at the first of the celebration was the normal thing to do but when the wine Jesus provided was served everyone was amazed for it was far better than what was served at the first and so the comment: "…but thou has kept the good wine until now…" was heard.

What can we learn from this miracle?

Introduction

This chapter is clear in its teaching about anointing and praying for the sick. James gave some choice principles to guide the believers’ thoughts, discussion, and practice of praying for the sick.

Text: James 5:14-16

1. What to do if you are sick?

The sick should call upon the elders of the church, v. 14a

Let me tell you a story. Recently one of our members left us to go to another church. She accused us of not praying for her daughter in law who was sick. How can we pray for her if we don’t know that she is sick and in need of prayer? This sister could have done 2 things to inform us.
