Why did Jesus make so much wine? (180 gallons)

 

Wasn’t that going just a bit too far?  Would not 20, or 30, or 50 gallons have been sufficient?

Listen in and get Pastor Mark’s take on the question:

I have a new computer and don’t know how to use it, yet. I can’t upload audio files like I used to, using my new Mac.

Please be patient with me and hopefully I’ll learn.

Let me know if you’re able to hear the sermon on SoundCloud.  I uploaded it there, but was not able (for some reason) to listen to it.  Sheesh.

Jesus strides forth into our ruts

Our expectations are pretty low. We think that nothing new is possible. And Jesus keeps on truckin’…right through the pain and suffering and stuckness of our lives, bringing forth His reality and His will…for sinners whom He loves.

Sacraments, Calvinism, “free-will”, ministry of the Word, stewardship, the “ministry of death”, the priesthood of all believers, and more…

An excellent class  (do not adjust your set – this one recorded in mono…but don’t let that cause you to miss this barn burner):

Sanctification – The Theology of the Cross – and the similarities between Evangelical and Roman Catholic theologies

Where does the Christian life start?  From the resurrection…or the cross?

A good one. It will no doubt ruffle a few feathers…but then the pure gospel always seems to do that.

Enjoy:

I have nothing to do with the ads that WordPress puts on this blog. I cannot even see them and have no idea what they are.

What Jesus was trying to make clear to Nicodemus.

This is a good one for those who are proponents of “sanctification for the righteous”.  It’s also very good for “spiritual feathers preeners”.

And it’s good for people like me who need to be reminded that Christ has done it all, is doing it all, and will yet do it all…for the ungodly (that’s me…how about you?).
