Follow The Sign | Pastor Marty Sloan

from Merge.Church · host Merge.Church

In John 2:1–11, Jesus performs His first miracle at the wedding in Cana, turning water into wine during a moment when everything seemed to fall apart. This sermon explores the “uh-oh moments” in life—times when expectations fail, resources run out, or plans collapse—and how Jesus meets us in those moments. The miracle is more than saving a wedding; it’s a sign pointing to something deeper: Jesus as the true Bridegroom inviting us into relationship with Him. Through humility, obedience, trust in God’s timing, and dependence on Christ as our true source, we learn to follow the signs that lead us closer to Him and experience the better life He offers.Welcome to our podcast of Merge.Church in Van Buren, Arkansas, led by Pastor Jacob Howell. We desire to help everyone, everywhere discover new life in Christ by creating a warm and welcoming family home where you can feel the love and forgiveness that Jesus offers to all. Wherever you are today, we pray that you would be encouraged, challenged, and inspired to take your NEXT STEP in you relationship with Jesus.
