Gospel Reading and Sermon Text. John 2:1-11

It is possible for us to have a heavenly focus even while enjoying God’s gifts to us in this life.

We pray that Jesus’ presence and miracle at the wedding in Cana, will help us to remember that our enjoyment of life can be pleasing to God, who gives us all things.

We pray also that we are able to set aside the idea that a life of following God is boring or somehow less than what life without Jesus can offer.

Amen

Pastor Ron Koehler
