     | 13,107 views

    Just as the wine ran out at the wedding feast, so can our wine run out. Sometimes we experience "dry times" in our life and ministry. When the wine runs out, let's run to Jesus for He is the one Who turns the water into wine.

Cana was a inconspicuous little town that lay outside of Nazareth. Cana had no social prominence in its day! In fact, biblical scholars took 1800 ...read more
