To have life we can only walk in the light and the only way to walk in the light so that all can see is to truly believe in Jesus.

We need to know what God wants as well as know what He is like. It is only by having those both can we please God.

As we read how Jesus turned the water into wine we see how our mundane actions wrapped up in our desire that wants to point people to Him, will be so sweet that we will be praised for it.

Jesus didn’t have some big speech planned for people to follow Him. It was a simple invitation telling people to get close to Him and see if He has the fruit they want in their life. We need to have that same attitude. One that invites people to be part of your life if they want too.

As we read the first bit of John 1 we can see that to be like Jesus we have to be people of our word. The only way we can be a witness is to see what Jesus is doing today, and to not get discouraged when people who we know don’t understand because there is a family in God’s Kingdom who are desperately trying to follow God.

Romans 8 tells us that we are no longer condemned to death, but if that’s the case how do we live? How can we start to live as God’s son?

We are reading Genesis 4-6 and we start with a simple question. If you do well will you not be accepted? Just because someone else was accepted and you were not it doesn't mean that they took it away from you!

As we continue in our series we read Matthew 2. How Jesus lived in Nazareth which comes from the root word that means set apart. Remember you are called to be set apart for the Lord!

So many good things to pull out of this section; 1. God spoke things into existence and since we were made in God's image in likeness this shows that what we speak has power. 2. Many times we need to make things work and then think about scaling or creating a position later. 3. Man and Woman are meant to help each other. That was the design and it wasn't until the fall that a hierarchy became established. Just to name a few but whatever you get out of this remember that God is in charge of all things and knows how all things are designed to be.

Have you realized how messed up Jesus' family tree was? A daughter-in-law marries her father-in-law, a prostitute, and a person who according to Moses is cursed by God. Hard to believe that this is was the family history Jesus was being associated with.
