John 2:1-11

Now, if you've been with us any time this year, you know that we started out a new series, the first part of January called ''Experience His Glory.'' That's the theme for our church.

That's why he includes the story of the magi coming to crown Jesus King, so to speak. ''Where is He who is born King of the Jews?''
