Learn to Laugh Again


Sometimes people have the wrong view of God. They think they should be somber, serious, or down. Laughter is discouraged. Dancing is forbidden. But, God would not agree. Because, if the fact be known, God loves a party! God brings laughter where there were tears and a smile where there was sorrow. Join us and find the divine joy in the life of Jesus follower. In the sermon series, Learn to Laugh Again, Pastor Mike takes us on an exploration of the story of the wedding at Cana when Jesus brought life back to the party and how God’s joy enters into our lives.

You Ain’t Seen Nuthin’ Yet!

John 2:1-11

On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what concern is that to you and to me? My hour has not yet come.” His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” Now standing there were six stone water jars for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to them, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. He said to them, “Now draw some out, and take it to the chief steward.” So they took it.  When the steward tasted the water that had become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the steward called the bridegroom and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and then the inferior wine after the guests have become drunk. But you have kept the good wine until now.” Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Galilee, and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
