Drawing out the wine Mark 8:1-8


Drawing out the wine Mark 8:1-8

We have been using the wedding in Cana of Galilee to see how miracles happen and what our part is in them. We are also looking how our water is turned to wine. First we saw why we should involve God in our life, even in small things. Next we saw that God’s desire is to take hearts of stone and make hearts of love and compassion. Last time we talked about the hard work of the soul, the filling our jars with water. Now comes the perhaps the craziest thing of all, drawing out the wine.

1.      Believe the water is now wine

a.      Take the wine to the steward and then the guest

b.      Setting the bread and fish Mark 4:1-8

c.       Ester 5:1-5 dresses and stands in the inner court

d.      Elijah calls to God in prayer 1 kings 18:36-38

2.      You have wine to give

a.      Holy Hand

b.      Isaiah 6:4-9

c.       1 john 1:9, 2 Corinthians 5:17

d.      1 Peter 1:16 “You Shall be Holy for I am Holy”

3.      Serve it to the guest

a.      Let them see it in you

b.      Matthew 5:14-16

c.       Offer it but don’t force it

d.      Fill their glass but don’t flood the table

By the power of God we have had our water turned into wine. We have been given what the rest of the world craves. Be bold, have courage and show it to the world. Be crazy enough to offer it to others and fill their glass.
