Good Wine For A Lame Party (3 of 7)
Series: Jesus the Wildman
Pastor Jesse Bradley
John 2:1-11

A LAME PARTY:

John 2:1-5

A healthy spiritual life might include some parties.

No contact = No impact.

No difference = No impact.

A crisis does not eliminate all of our choices.

Matthew 5:13-16, Proverbs 25:28, John 7:1-9, Mark 2:15-17, 2 Timothy 4:5

GOOD WINE:

John 2:6-10

The Jars = An outrageous choice.

Find out if the ritual is from God.

Don't get stuck in empty rituals.

The Wine = A dangerous choice.

Alcohol can lead to sin.

Jesus introduces something better than rules.

Matthew 28:18-20, Matthew 23:25-28, Ephesians 5:18-20, Proverbs 23:29-35, Isaiah 55:1-3

THE SEND OFF:
John 2:11

1) Don't just enjoy the wine.

2) Be creative and make the party better.

3) Remember transformation is more important than
a short-term fix.

James 1:16-17, Psalm 8, Acts 17:22-34, Romans 8:28-29, Luke 5:1-11
