The Vineyard- August 12, 2012


The Vineyard
I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. – John 15:5

John 2:1-12
Jesus miraculously replaces the water in the six stone water jars, water that was used with purification, with wine.  What does wine represent to us as Christians?  What point is Jesus making here?
- How does Jesus turn water into wine?  What is so miraculous about turning water into wine?
- What is it about Jesus’ words that give them power?  How can the words of Jesus have power in our life?
-  The stewards are instructed to draw out the wine, and take it to others.  How can we draw out the wine of Jesus and offer it to others?
- This is the first passage in John where Jesus performs a sign that reveals His glory.  How do Jesus’ actions here reveal something about who He is? 

Pray:
 As our teachers and children return to school this coming week, I would encourage you to offer up a prayer on their behalf.
- Pray that our teachers may reflect the love of Christ to the children that they teach, particularly those most in need of being loved.  Pray also that God will use their talents to educate our children. 
- Pray that our children will love others as they should, and set good examples of how followers of Christ should act.  Pray that they will resist temptation, and that their efforts to learn will be fruitful.
