Lessons from His Mother

The wine will run out.

I have learned over the course of my ministry that one of the desires that have when they come to church and simultaneously the same area churches lack in is the is the ability to connect with people on a real and personal level. Everything nowadays is, “Health and Wealth” “Breakthrough and bounty”, “Decree and Declare”. People come to church hurt and can’t tell anyone without fear of judgment. And If they say anything the church always gives them Jesus as the answer. And I agree Jesus can fix it Jesus is the answer but we at least need to listen to the questions. We have lost our ability to suffer so we can’t talk about the possibilities pain. Well church, I have to let out a secret that you may not have heard before, but its very biblical. The wine will run out! No matter how long the party goes. No matter how much money has been invested. No matter how much time you have spent. No matter how hard you planned. No matter who you invited. No matter what your name is. No matter what your title is. No matter how good you look. No matter how good they look. No matter how talented you are. No matter how smart you are. Eventually, the wine will run out. And I can see you looking at me because you think I’m talking about Merlo or Bardo. Not that wine although it will run out too faster than the others. What I’m talking about is life. (Preach, covering different situations when “wine” runs out)

1. Don’t Panic. Call Jesus.

· Mary Takes the problem to Jesus. This is what I feels like every person so do when faced with any issue. She does not allow the difficulty of the now to determine here for the future. So often we take matters into our own hands and mess it up worse. (elaborate) other times we don’t do anything but wallow in the loss of the wine.

· Jesus response “Woman, what has this to do with me, it’s not my time”

· Mary is running the show. She ignores Jesus and places the problem at Jesus feet.

2. Remember God is the Source of your Resource

· 60% of wine is water.

· Water pots reserved for washing, fill them up! Sometimes God will use unconventional means to rectify your problem. It doesn’t always work out the way you’d expect, because not does not do the expected. God does not specialize in meeting expectation he specializes exceeding expectations.

· Take it to the host! Somewhere between the Jar and the drink the water changed. This the same power that called out into nothing and created everything, called out into the darkness and created light,

3. Understand the Later will be Greater

· Called the bridegroom, A greater Bridegroom had arrived.

· You have saved the best for last. God doesn’t bless backwards. He progressive!

· The Greatness is always for manifesting Jesus’ glory and so people will believe.
