Many things have happened in the world over the past months, and now Russia has attacked Ukraine and news and video and pictures of war are all over. What a mess! We are but dust, we are sick, and need.... what? who?

This episode is sort of an addendum to our Black History Month series - a one-time message responding to the spirit of war and fear that has come upon many. There's a continuity of underlying themes even if the symptoms of our need differ.

This episode is particularly oriented toward our LBFC family and friends. How do we show that we are friends in this time and under the present conditions? Let's ask God together.

This week we consider John 2:1-13 in which Jesus blesses a wedding feast in Cana by turning six huge jars of water into wine! What is he doing? And what is he not doing in this the first of the signs of the new creation that John tells us about in his Gospel account?

This week we consider John 2:13-24, wherein John tells about Jesus clearing out the temple courts that were being used as a marketplace. Why was Jesus so upset? Perhaps it reminded him of another scene of idolatry involving a golden calf! The temple was the place of the Rock - or supposed to be.

This week we pause to consider what we celebrate on Resurrection Sunday, particularly focusing on the testimony in John's gospel. The world is already a much different place than it was before Jesus, and the remarkable changes are still taking place! The goodness of the final re-creation is on the horizon.
