John 2 (NLT) – The Wedding at Cana

2 The next day there was a wedding celebration in the village of Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, 2 and Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the celebration. 3 The wine supply ran out during the festivities, so Jesus’ mother told him, “They have no more wine.”
4 “Dear woman, that’s not our problem,” Jesus replied. “My time has not yet come.”
5 But his mother told the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
6 Standing nearby were six stone water jars, used for Jewish ceremonial washing. Each could hold twenty to thirty gallons. 7 Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” When the jars had been filled, 8 he said, “Now dip some out, and take it to the master of ceremonies.” So the servants followed his instructions.
9 When the master of ceremonies tasted the water that was now wine, not knowing where it had come from (though, of course, the servants knew), he called the bridegroom over. 10 “A host always serves the best wine first,” he said. “Then, when everyone has had a lot to drink, he brings out the less expensive wine. But you have kept the best until now!”
11 This miraculous sign at Cana in Galilee was the first time Jesus revealed his glory. And his disciples believed in him.
12 After the wedding he went to Capernaum for a few days with his mother, his brothers, and his disciples.

You are Never Alone by Max Lucado

“Of all the needs of the people in the planet, why would _____ matter? Simple. It mattered to Jesus because it mattered to Mary. If Jesus was willing to use divine clout to solve a social faux pas, how much more willing would he be to intervene on the weightier matters in life?”

“He wants you to know that you can take your needs – all your needs – to him. Phil 4:6 ‘Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.'”

“You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending” C.S. Lewis

We all have moments or things in our lives that we would probably do different.  We can’t change the past but we can try to improve the future.  A father’s love for his kids is like a view of God’s love for us.  We should be patient and kind and forgiving when they mess up.  God is always here for us no matter our past.  Be there for your kids no matter the mistakes they make.

“and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.” –Hebrews 10:24‭-‬25 NASB1995

“Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor. For if either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion. But woe to the one who falls when there is not another to lift him up.”-Ecclesiastes 4:9‭-‬10 NASB1995

“but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.” – 1 John 1:7 NASB1995

The message YHC wants to present is that fellowship is essential to our spiritual, physical, and mental health. I got a random phone call from a friend from highschool yesterday. We were pretty close then but have drifted apart once we moved away. It was great to catch up and it reminded me how important it can be to reach out to our family and friends. We become stronger together. Proverbs 27:17 – ISI.

The unity and fellowship that we can have in Christ is even more powerful than our earthly relationships. Let’s walk in the light!

I am glad we didn’t climb that mountain more times!

F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
Side Straddle Hops, Grady Corns, Baby Arm Circles, Tempo Squats, Tempo Merkins, Kick Throughs and stretch  oyo.
THA-THANG:
Mosey to the closest loading dock for Chain Reaction (relay).  1 HIM moving at all times taking the place of the next guy.

  • Bear crawl down the stairs to hold a plank
  • Bernie to kick through station
  • Bernie to SSH station

Indian Run to CMU Pile.  Rifle carry a CMU to the base of Sophomore hill.  Where we found 2 braided climbing ropes. Crazy lucky that it was there, rain soaked and heavy.

2 HIMs on opposite sides of the rope tried to carry the rope to the top of hill without the middle touching the ground.  If they made it the rest had to do 5 Burpees.  If it hit the ground, next 2 guys tried.  By the 3rd or 4th round we got the hang of it and some burpees were done.  The “spectators” were doing CMU Curls, Triceps, Thrusters and other heavy work outs while we watched and hoped for a big wipe out.

A few rounds of muddy tug-o-war at the top.  Resulted in all of us running down the hill.  Uneven teams resulted in some fast muddy slides.  We ended with Rope hold against each other at the bottom while more CMU work was done.  Rinsed off with some flutter kicks in a puddle then mosey’d back.

MARY:
Guardrail dips, incline merkins, then some box cutters, flutter kicks, imperial walkers and other core till the rushers arrived and time was called.
COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
9 (4 were Rushing) HIMs took on the rain
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Thanks for the prayer covering for my family while we were on our missions encounter in Tajuana, Mexico.  The Lord taught me there that to give, you must have something to give.  He loves to fill us up so that we can be poured out.  That is why we are given things, joy, hope, and love.  Give it out freely.  Acts 20 reminds us what Jesus said: It is more blessed to give than receive.

Out here, that means get better, encouraged and stronger and then give back by filling up a Q calendar.  At church that means watching online isn’t enough.  Give of your time… maybe in a much needed volunteer role, but maybe what the Lord has for you is to connect with a friend or a stranger before or after a service.  You are not filled up to feel better but to give back.  Receive so that you can serve.

And lastly, be real.  In Mexico addressing the heartache and sadness was necessary.  Here it’s easier to find a silver lining or hide behind work or busyness.  God can handle our sadness.  Bring it to Him and you’ll have more joy than I can explain.
