Bible Reading Week 9 (1st Sunday) Communion Sunday
This Week’s Theme: The Sign of His Glory
Word for the Week is Obedience: A willingness to submit oneself to the will of God and to put it into effect. Scripture emphasizes the necessity for God’s laws to be followed, gives examples and reasons, and describes the rewards.
Memory verse: Matthew 12:50 (NKJV) “For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”
Sermon Focus: Jesus’ work in our lives is for His glory
Sermon Passage: John 2:1-11
1 On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there.
2 Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding.
3 And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine.”
4 Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does your concern have to do with Me? My hour has not yet come.”
5 His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.”
6 Now there were set there six waterpots of stone, according to the manner of purification of the Jews, containing twenty or thirty gallons apiece.
7 Jesus said to them, “Fill the waterpots with water.” And they filled them up to the brim.
8 And He said to them, “Draw some out now, and take it to the master of the feast.” And they took it.
9 When the master of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom.
10 And he said to him, “Every man at the beginning sets out the good wine, and when the guests have well drunk, then the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now!”
11 This beginning of signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory; and His disciples believed in Him.

2 Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding.
3 And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine.”
SHOWS DEPENDANCE
SHE WENT TO HIM BECAUSE SHE KNEW THAT GOD IS GOOD
God Himself IS good and therefore the ultimate standard
5 For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, And His truth endures to all generations.
SHE LOOK TO HIS MERCY
1 Praise the Lord! Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.
FOLLOWING THE ADVICE OF KING David, SHE DECIDED THAT SHE WOULD
8 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!
EVEN THOUGH JESUS SAID IN VERSE FOUR
4 Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does your concern have to do with Me? My hour has not yet come.”
GOD’S IS GOOD NO MATTER WHAT HE DECIDES TO DO OR NOT DO.
5 Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, And He shall bring it to pass.
22 Cast your burden on the Lord, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.
WILL YOU
7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
MARY KNEW SOMETHING THEY DID NOT KNOW, WHICH IS WHY SHE TOLD THEM IN VERSE 5
5 His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.”
ACCORDING TO Luke 1:32–33 SHE KNEW THAT . . . .
“32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. 33 And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.””
SHE KNEW THAT HE WOULD BE GREAT
SHE KNEW THAT HE WOULD BE THE SON OF THE HIGHEST
SHE KNEW THAT HE WOULD BE GIVEN THE THRONE OF DAVID
SHE KNEW THAT HE WOULD REIGN OVER THE HOUSE OF JACOB FOREVER
Luke 1:49–50 “49 For He who is mighty has done great things for me, And holy is His name. 50 And His mercy is on those who fear Him From generation to generation.”
SHE KNEW THAT GOD HAD DONE GREAT THINGS FOR HER AND THAT HE WOULD DO GREAT THINGS FOR THEM
SHE KNEW THAT GOD’S MERCY WAS ON THOSE WHO FEAR HIM FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION
SHE KNEW THAT WITH GOD NOTHING WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE (Luke 1:37)
37 For with God nothing will be impossible.”
JOIN NOAH - ARK
JOIN ABRAHAM - GOING TO CANAAN
JOIN MOSES - LEAVING EGYPT, BUILDING THE TABERNACLE
WHATEVER GOD SAYS TO YOU, FROM HIS WORD, DO IT!
