Sermons on Wedding At Cana:

Treated Better Than We Deserve

Contributed by John Gaston on May 26, 2016

Many complain about God letting them down, but the truth is, God blesses us far more than we deserve. If we compare our selves with others, or consider if we got justice instead of mercy, we'd never charge God with wrongdoing.

TREATED BETTER THAN WE DESERVE Ps. 103:10 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. There was a man who had a cat named Mr. Peoples. It was an especially obnoxious cat which yowled a lot and loved to pounce on him when he fell asleep in his lazy-boy chair. It would stand around smirking at him. 2. So one day he ...read more

The Prophecy Of Our Messiah Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Dec 18, 2021

R.C. Sproul once said, “What we celebrate is not so much the birth of a baby, but the incarnation of God Himself.” (Critical concept to remember – not just a birthday celebration!) Today, it is my prayer that we would be focused on this truth and that we’d see this story in a fresh light!

Introduction - “What is Advent?” -- The word Advent means "coming" or "arrival" -- The focus of this season is the celebration of the birth of Jesus the Christ -- His birth is his First Advent, his first coming, to a world in great need -- It also reflects on the ...read more

You're Invited To A Party!

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Oct 8, 2002

God is throwing a huge party and you’re invited. The only way you get in is by special invitation and by putting on wedding clothes. At the same time the world demands your loyalty and is having a party of it’s own - so which party do you want to go to?

As a reporter I often got to go places that others didn’t. Sometimes it was to places others wouldn’t want to go – like behind police lines or maybe to Iceland. But there were also times when you felt privileged – like being able to meet a president or former president. I remember when President ...read more

Part 5: Faith That Functions Without Feedback Series

Contributed by Rev Emmanuel O. Adejugbe on Jan 23, 2026

We expect feedback peace after prayer, confirmation after worship. But what if it never comes? This message moves from “wedding-day” faith to “hospital-room” faith, exploring emunah steadfast loyalty and how God’s silence becomes the ground where resilient faith is formed.

The Great Banquet Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Jul 26, 2012

Jesus launches into a parable about a wedding feast where he is essentially saying that in the kingdom of God the humble are exalted and those who seek to exalt themselves are humbled. It’s an upside down Kingdom from what people are used to. So that’s t

Contributed by Johnny Creasong on Apr 17, 2008

When you give your child back to God, you are openly declaring that this child is a gift from God and only on loan to you. We’d better be careful how we treat and care for God’s property! God trusted you enough to place those children in your care to ra

Why Do Bad Things Happen? Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on May 30, 2003

It’s easy to think that bad things happen because God is out to get us. That’s not true. The Bible establishes some reasons why things don’t turn out they way we’d like – personal sin, corporate sin, and evil influences. While we can’t insulate ourselv

"A Light That Shatters The Darkness”

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Aug 17, 2023
