Rocky Mount Methodist Church

Sunday’s scripture was John 2:1-11. There are questions about why the story of Jesus turning water into wine was included in the book of John. Why is this story important? It proved to be a timely story of inauguration, with this week being the inaugural week of our president. The most unusual miracle of turning the water to wine proved to be somewhat of Jesus’ inaugural ball. From this point on, everything would change. This was the beginning of God’s transformation. Questions began to be asked. If Jesus could do this, what else could he do? He can forgive, love, change situations, change stale manna to a feast, release burdens of the heart and turn a world upside down. One important note is that God depends on us to be agents of transformation. Jesus calls us to exhibit the fruits of his mercy. Are you bursting forth with goodness and mercy, sharing the good word, or are you a stinking, rotting fruit on the vine?

If you would like to learn more about how to be an agent of Jesus, call us at 688-2204, or join us on Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m., Sunday mornings at 10 a.m. for Sunday school and 11 a.m. for morning worship. On Sunday evenings we meet from 5 p.m. until 5:30 p.m. for a short devotion and/or Bible study. You may listen to our previous Sunday’s sermon on Thursday mornings on WKLF 95.5 FM, just after “The Little Woman.”
