The Gospel of John (Part 5) | Sunday Service 14th December 2025
The Gospel of John invites us to see Jesus clearly—not just as a good teacher or miracle worker, but as the Son of God who came to bring us true and lasting life. Throughout this series, we will walk with John as he reveals Jesus’ heart, His identity, and His purpose. John writes so that we might believe—not just in our minds, but in our everyday living—trusting that Jesus is the One who brings light into our darkness, hope into our uncertainty, and life that is deeper than anything this world can offer. As we journey through these passages together, we are invited to encounter Jesus personally and respond to His call to believe and follow Him. John 2:1-12 [NIV] On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, 2 and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.” 4 “Woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.” 5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” 6 Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons. 7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim. 8 Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so, 9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside 10 and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.” 11 What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him. 12 After this he went down to Capernaum with his mother and brothers and his disciples. There they stayed for a few days.
