The Good News Is... So Good, it Catches Us By Surprise

from Sermons by the Rev. David Wheeler · host Rev. David Wheeler

John 2:1–11 | Matthew 13:31–32 | First Sunday in Lent At a wedding in Cana, the wine runs out. Instead of shame or scarcity, Jesus brings abundance. Instead of tightening boundaries, he widens the table. In this Lenten sermon, we explore what the miracle at Cana and the mustard seed parable reveal about joy, justice, and the kin-dom of God. What does it mean to practice joy as resistance in a culture shaped by fear? How do we embody courageous love for immigrants, students, and neighbors in uncertain times? The good news isn’t fragile. It’s disruptive. It’s abundant. And it still catches us by surprise.
