There is a lot to unpack as we study this first and very significant miracle, but the most important thing to note about it for you, me, and all of mankind is this: His purpose in turning the water into wine was to cover the host family’s shame and embarrassment of running out of wine. And in choosing this as His first miracle—this loving demonstration of compassion—Jesus laid a foundation that would undergird His entire ministry.

You don’t need a baseball bat, you don’t need pepper spray—none of that is going to work on the devil. This battle happens entirely in the spiritual realm, so you’ve got to learn about the kinds of spiritual weapons to use, and how to use them.</p> <p>This is the 4th message in my series called, “Doing Battle in the Spirit.” Here’s the thing about this battle: It’s NOT something you can see with your eyes; it’s NOT fixable with any kind of material weapon, like what you might use to defend yourself against a burglar trying to break into your home, or something like that.

Did you know that if you are a Christian, God has already begun “rebuilding” you? He wants you to have victory in your life, to be free from sin and sinful habits, and to become more like His Son, Jesus, every day. And because your enemy, the devil, does NOT want God to succeed at making you more like Jesus, he is like those ungodly opponents that Nehemiah had to face.</p> <p>This is the third message in this series, and I started it as a response to a sermon series we’ve been doing<br>at our church on the book of Nehemiah.
