2007 - Miracles, Part 2 (Video)

published May 24, 2007 04:58

This week Pastor Tim Poetzl brings us a message from the first miracle that Jesus is recorded to have performed.  Even from the beginning, Jesus seemed to include people in his miracles.  He looked to those who were hurting, desperate and in need of a divine intervention to be the ones to participate in their own healing.

In this case, Jesus looks out and sees a number of servants who would probably have been punished severely for running out of wine at a wedding.  After being prompted by his mother, he decides to take action and perform the famous miracle of turning water into wine.  And being God, he could have simply done it with a word or a thought.  But he chooses instead to include the servants in the process Ã?? a model that we see time and time again.  This brings about an interesting question:  Why would the God of the universe choose to use us in our state of brokenness to bring about a miracle when we as human beings have proven time and time again to be absolutely powerless?

ItÃ??s simple.  God wants to, Ã??. . .take the bologna sandwich of our lives and turn it into a Sal Garberg Special.Ã??  And He wants to empower us in the process by taking the little bit we have and meeting it with His infinite strength.  All it takes is a little faith, trust and obedience and we may see something truly breathtaking take place.

Are you up for it?
