The striking glory of Jesus Christ is painted all over the story of Jesus at the wedding at Cana (John 2:1-12).  There are many beautiful stopping points in this section of the Bible which teaches us much. But, there is one central thing Jesus is communicating to mankind. It is easy to see the amazing things to learn about weddings, wine, Mary, the creative power of Jesus and waterpots… But, there is one massive thing that Jesus is revealing. This is the heart of the message of the turning water into wine at the wedding at Cana – Jesus is explaining His glory in graphic form, “glory of the only begotten Son of God, full of grace and truth.” Of the many meditations of His glory we can draw from this scene, is that Jesus fills the waterpot of your life with superior wine… the best mankind can have.

Prayer will be held at the Burke home.

Please pray for the people at Carillon, and those ministering there.

Our Sunday afternoon “Membership Class” will begin at 1:30 as we examine the kind of relational culture the Word of God creates in a church.

The songs we will be singing on Sunday are,

When Morning Gilds the Skies
When morning gilds the skies,
My heart awaking cries
May Jesus Christ be praised:
Alike at work and prayer
To Jesus I repair;
May Jesus Christ be praised.

When sleep her balm denies,
My silent spirit sighs,
May Jesus Christ be praised:
When evil thoughts molest,
With this I shield my breast,
May Jesus Christ be praised.

Does sadness fill my mind?
A solace here I find,
May Jesus Christ be praised:
Or fades my earthly bliss?
My comfort still is this,
May Jesus Christ be praised.

In heav’n’s eternal bliss
The loveliest strain is this,
May Jesus Christ be praised:
The powers of darkness fear,
When this sweet chant they hear,
May Jesus Christ be praised.

Let earth’s wide circle round
In joyful notes resound,
May Jesus Christ be praised:
Let air and sea and sky,
From depth to height, reply,
May Jesus Christ be praised.

Be this, while life is mine,
My canticle divine,
May Jesus Christ be praised:
Be this th’eternal song,
Through all the ages on,
May Jesus Christ be praised.

Reformation Hymn
We will trust God’s Word alone,
Where His perfect will is known;
Our traditions shift like sand
While His Truth forever stands.

We will live by faith alone,
Clothed in merit not our own;
All we claim is Jesus Christ
And His finished sacrifice.

Glory be, glory be to God alone
Through the church He redeemed
and made His own.
He has freed us, He will keep us
till we’re safely home
Glory be, glory be to God alone!

We are saved by grace alone –
Undeserved, yet freely shown;
No accomplishment on earth
Can achieve the second birth.

We will stand on Christ alone,
The unyielding Cornerstone;
Nations rage and devils roar,
Still He reigns forevermore!

Glory be, glory be to God alone
Through the church He redeemed
and made His own.
He has freed us, He will keep us
till we’re safely home
Glory be, glory be to God alone!

Psalm 45:1-10
(tune of Not What My Hands Have Done)
My heart doth overflow,
A goodly theme is mine;
My eager tongue with joyful song
Doth praise the King divine.
Supremely fair Thou art,
Thy lips with grace o’erflow;
His richest blessings evermore
Doth God on Thee bestow.

Now gird Thee with thy sword,
O strong and mighty One,
In splendid majesty arrayed,
More glorious than the sun.
Triumphantly ride forth
For meekness, truth, and right;
Thine arm shall gain the victory
In wondrous deeds of might.

Thy strength shall overcome
All those that hate the King,
And under Thy dominion strong
The nations Thou shalt bring.
Thy royal throne, O God,
For evermore shall stand;
Eternal truth and justice wield
The sceptre in Thy hand.

Since Thou art sinless found,
The Lord, thy God confessed,
Anointeth Thee with perfect joy,
Thou art supremely blessed.
Thy garments breathe of myrrh
And spices sweet and rare;
Glad strains of heav’nly music ring
Throughout Thy palace fair.

Amid Thy glorious train
Kings’ daughters waiting stand,
And fairest gems bedeck Thy bride,
The queen at Thy right hand.
O royal bride, give heed,
And to my words attend;
For Christ, the King, forsake the world
And ev’ry former friend.

The Suffering Servant
Who is this God did forsake;
Who Himself our griefs did take?
Stricken, smitten by His God;
Our transgressions brought the rod?

   The Great I Am Whom we call Saviour,
Mighty God, and Prince of Peace;
The Righteous Servant of Jehovah;
Jesus Christ, our Great High Priest.
As a Father to His children
Everlasting He will be.
Our Counselor, Most Wonderful,
Immanuel, ‘tis He.

Who is this for us now bruised;
Oppressed, afflicted, and abused?
Like a lamb to slaughter led;
All of our sins placed on His head?

Who is this Whose stripes can heal,
Justify, and pardon seal?
Poured His soul out unto death;
And bore our sin ‘til His last breath?

Who is this from Whom we strayed;
Everyone to his own way?
And from Him we hid our face;
Condemned He stood to take our place.

Who is this Who intercedes;
Poor lost sheep, their case He pleads?
All our sin on Him was laid.
He bore God’s wrath; the debt’s been paid.

Rejoice, All Ye Believers
(tune of Lead on, O King Eternal)
Rejoice, all ye believers,
And let your lights appear;
The evening is advancing,
And darker night is near:
The Bridegroom is arising,
And soon He draweth nigh;
Up, pray, and watch, and wrestle:
At midnight comes the cry.

See that your lamps are burning;
Replenish them with oil;
And wait for your salvation,
The end of earthly toil.
The watchers on the mountain
Proclaim the Bridegroom near,
Go meet Him as he cometh,
With Alleluias clear.

Ye saints, who here in patience
Your cross and suff’rings bore,
Shall live and reign for ever,
When sorrow is no more:
Around the throne of glory
The Lamb ye shall behold,
In triumph cast before Him
Your diadems of gold.

Our Hope and Expectation,
O Jesus, now appear;
Arise, Thou Sun so longed for,
O’er this benighted sphere.
With hearts and hands uplifted,
We plead, O Lord to see
The day of earth’s redemption
That brings us unto Thee.
