The live YouTube link failed today! I thought I had turned the power switch on for the laptop charger when I set the live stream going before heading to Bracon Ash; but in fact the laptop was running on battery, so went into standby and ended the stream before the service had begun.
So, no recording of the service today, but the service sheet is there, with links to the songs!
In my talk, I reflected on three things arising out of the passage about when Jesus turned the water into wine, from John 2:1-11.
Transformation of water into wine. Using the Jewish ceremonial washing pots, symbolising the fulfilment of the Jewish traditions, in how Jesus came to bring transformed religion that revealed the love of God in fresh ways. 150 gallons of water into the same amount of wine! This was serious transformation. We have a God who turns things around and brings change - which is welcome news for many of us at the outset of 2022!
Obedience of the servants, after Mary had told them "do whatever he says". Not obeying human authority, which can often mislead us, but listening for the voice of Jesus, and our own God-given conscience, above the authority of the church or the given dogma. There is an innate human need to belong and fit in, and comply, which can be exploited, and has been used to control people inside the church as much as outside of it. Our task as Christians is to obey Jesus only, and in any leadership responsibilities we have, to do as Jesus did in leadership, to serve and not to be served - to offer a direction and not to demand obedience, to be safe and not exploitative.
Everyday context of the miracle. It wasn't a special religious setting in which Jesus showed this first miraculous sign, which revealed his glory. It was a wedding party, where the wine had run out prematurely, and risked bringing shame on the family. There was a real need in a non-religious setting, and Jesus helped meet it - and most people there were unaware that a miracle had happened. The quiet, unnoticed miracles, meeting a need in every day ordinary life - that's the essence of what Christianity calls us to. Making a difference with what we have where we are, to help our neighbours. The specific religious stuff, like Sunday worship, praying with others, singing worship songs, preaching a 3-point sermon with points, whose first letters spell "TOE", etc. - all of that can be really helpful and is important to try to get right - but it is intended to resource God's people for service, and not to be the end in itself. And sometimes that stuff can be used in a hypnotic way, to control thoughts, beliefs and behaviour. The account of water into wine at a wedding to meet the need as it presented itself draws us back to the heart of servanthood worship.
Join us as we worship God together and explore what the baptism of Christ means for us, at the start of this season of epiphany.
