The Master's Miracles (Message 1)

Wow, another great Sunday and a great service, wish you all could have been there!
I just began a three week series on the Miracles of Jesus, we spent our time today looking at the first of Jesus' miracles recorded in scripture.
Jesus, His mother and disciples were are all at a wedding in Canaan, and they ran out of wine, and Jesus tells the waiters to fill the stone pots and then dip their pitchers in and draw out some water and take it to the head waiter, and to their surprise the head waiter exclaims that "everyone brings out the good wine and then when people have had plenty to drink, then he switches to the poorer wine, but you, you saved the best wine for last" (loose paraphrase)
We will be focusing on several aspects involved with this and other miracles, this week we focused on the faith and obedience of the event. If the waiters, had not dipped out the wine and had not taken it to the head waiter, then what would have happened? Would there have even been a miracle? What about the miracle involving, the raising of Lazarus, or the lame man at the pool at Bethesda?
In each of these as will all miracles involving people there is an expectation of faith and obedience. When we examine these miracles though what we see are people who hesitantly act, not instinctively move expecting God to work wonders beyond their imagination. But is that not true for the majority of the Christians, we have this tendency for sight walking, even being short sighted when it comes to God and His ability to work miracles. We may even have a tendency to be corrupted in our thinking and believe like the world, as so many do not even believe that miracles even happen.
As we worked through this we examined the simplicity of the faith in each of these examples and how, oh what was it Jesus said, yeah, "if you had faith like a mustard seed you would say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and be planted in the sea': and it would obey you," so I pulled out a single mustard seed and stood at the edge of the riser and asked can you see, the size of faith it takes?
Anyway there were three main lessons today;
Lesson 1: Jesus enjoyed life, Jesus loved life and so can we and we should
Lesson 2: Life in the will of God gets better and better
Lesson 3: When it come to God and miracles, many times we just have to accept that which we do not understand

Bottom line believers must exercise their faith if we expect to grow and mature, we must get out of the boat and often, it is OK to expect a Big God to do Big things in our lives and in the world.

Here is another truth, you need to understand that the only way to enjoy the hugeness of God's grace, the Hugeness of God's peace and the Hugeness of God's miracles, then you must first give ourselves over fully to Him, accept Jesus as Lord of your life, accept His will for your life and stop the sight walking and walk in faith and by faith.

See the One True God will always keep you safe when you are wholly committed to being His and walking where He desires you to walk in obedient faith, then you can being to experience the hugeness of His peace, His grace, His love, and His miracles.


Well, until next week, be safe, be strong in your faith, in your walk, and always live a life that Lifts Him up!
