Lord God Almighty” UMH #64 Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee. Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty, God in three persons, blessed Trinity! Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore thee, casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea; cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee, which wert, and art, and evermore shalt be. Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide thee, though the eye of sinful man thy glory may not see, only thou art holy; there is none beside thee, perfect in power, in love and purity. Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! All thy works shall praise thy name, in earth and sky and sea. Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty, God in three persons, blessed Trinity. Old Testament Reading - Isaiah 6:1-8 Gospel Reading - John 2:1-12 Message: “Do What He Tells You” The Chosen – Season 1, Episode 5 Jesus had been down at Bethany which is east of Jerusalem. He then traveled back up to the province of Galilee (John 1:43). That’s when he attended a wedding in the village of Cana. Take a look at a map of first-century Israel (you might have one in the back of your Bible). Find the Sea of Galilee. Then find Nazareth. Look to the northwest and you’ll find Cana. List some things you know about the wedding in Cana. Then list some things you don’t know. Can you remember anything embarrassing happening at a wedding? Something embarrassing happen at the Cana wedding. They ran out of wine. We don’t know why that happened but it did. Do a little research about the jars, the ones Jesus asked to be filled. What was important about the jars being made of stone? Then ponder Mary’s words: “Do whatever he tells you.” How do those words apply to your life right now? Enjoy your study.

Commitment Song: “Trees of the Field” TFWS #2279 You shall go out with joy And be led forth with peace The mountains and the hills Will break forth before you There'll be shouts of joy And all the trees of the field Will clap, will clap their hands And all the trees of the field Will clap their hands The trees of the field Will clap their hands The trees of the field Will clap their hands While you go out with joy Unison Benediction May the peace of the Lord Jesus go with you wherever he may send you. May he guide you through the wilderness, protect you through the storm. May he bring you home rejoicing at the wonders he has shown you. May he bring you home rejoicing once again into our doors.
