Jesus confronts the corruption that had infiltrated temple worship during Passover. What should have been a sacred time of remembrance and worship had become a marketplace driven by greed. Jesus' response—braiding a whip and clearing the temple—wasn't uncontrolled rage but intentional, purposeful zeal for His Father's house. This passage challenges us to examine our own worship: Have we allowed convenience, comfort, or control to crowd out reverence? Jesus calls us beyond sign-seeking curiosity to genuine, transformative faith—committing Himself not to curious crowds but to converted hearts.

At a wedding in Cana, Jesus revealed his first “sign” (as John called it) —not in a temple, but at a celebration with family and friends. Philip unpacks how Jesus turned water into wine, showing it wasn't just about saving a party, but demonstrating his divine purpose and power to make all things new. Through this intimate glimpse of Christ's ministry, we discover how staying close to Jesus lets us witness his transformative work firsthand. Don't miss this powerful message about how Jesus can completely change your life, just as he changed water to wine.

The sermon challenges listeners to examine what they're truly seeking, whether they're allowing Christ to transform their identity, and what "impossible" situations they need to surrender to Jesus. Like these first disciples, we're called to be "bringers"—people who introduce others to Jesus by saying "come and see."
