Water into Wine - Jesus' First Miracle (Sermon Series on John) - Sunday, 15th February 2026

[Episode 9 - John Chapter 2 KJV]

Proverbs 20:1 “Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging, and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.”

Isaiah 5:11: “Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!”

Isaiah 28:7 “But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way.”

Proverbs 31:4-5: “It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink: Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.”

Isaiah 5:22: “Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink.”

Leviticus 10:9 (a command to priests): “Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die.”

Habakkuk 2:15: “Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also.”

If we stood at a table with biblical wine, modern wine, and modern spirits, we’d see a progression of strength. Biblical wine—often diluted—was gentle, maybe 5 to 10 percent( strong drink, diluted 3%). Today’s wine, undiluted, stands around 12 to 15 percent, a bit bolder. And then, modern spirits—like vodka at 40 percent—tower over them both. In essence, what began as a mild companion to daily life has evolved into something that demands respect, moderation, and a designated driver

4. Do what ever He says.
John 2:5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.

5. The miracle
John 2:6-8 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
