A Lesson From Cana

Jn. 2:1-10

When we read about the first miracle that Christ performed, we notice that hey had six stone pots there for use. I want to look at tonight about six things in our lives that God wants to have for Him.

1 Thes. 5:14-15

We need to…
Stand for what is right - vs. 14

Not popular
Not easy
Not always simple

We need…
A sparing of retaliation (in our lives) - vs. 15

Retaliating is the natural approach
By showing control we encourage others (around us)
We can enlighten the lost to His way

We should have…
A shout of rejoicing - vs. 16

God can bless our souls
God can change our souls
God will help us shout (for evermore)

He wants us to have…
A sustained prayer - vs. 17

Spiritually based
Personally seek Him for others
Desire for His will in our lives

We certainly should have…
A special thankfulness - vs. 18

Recognize His blessings all around us
Offer our service to Him
Publicly uphold Him (worship and witnessing)

Last, we should have…
A Seeking of His Word - vs. 20

A hunger for His "Voice"
A desire for understanding
A joy for knowledge
