Stepping out in faith…
It may seem like a strange thing to preach a sermon on, but stay with me and you’ll understand. Governments and the systems that run them are tools in the hands of God. ”For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free …
The human condition is to push until we run out. We can only go so far for so long. Wine at a wedding is a symbol of celebration, joy, abundance. When the wine is gone, the celebration is on the brink of disaster. What happens when they run out of wine and Jesus is present? …
