    Jesus turned water into wine. What is it just a good trick? Or was there more to it? This is the beginning of a series on the 7 signs of Jesus in the gospel of John.

    OUT OF THE ORDINARY As I was meditating on Jesus’ miracle of turning water into wine, a phrase popped into my head – “joie de vivre”. I knew of it mostly from theology texts and usually guessed at its meaning and pronunciation. But this phrase kept nagging me, so I decided to ...read more

    This sermon was a part of a series I did during our church's annual 21-day church-wide fast. We were looking at different elements of a fast. This message focuses on a fast as a time to simply sit at the feet of Jesus and enjoy His presence.
