Jesus performed a miracle at a wedding in Cana in Galilee. The changing of water to wine is the first miracle Jesus performed that is recorded in the Gospel of John.
Now that the Apostles have acknowledged Jesus' true identity as the Son of God, the Lord begins a more in depth teaching on the subjects of His mission and the nature of His Kingdom. (Mark 9:1-10:52)
What is man? This lesson begins the exploration of the nature of man, by examining Jesus. We see in Jesus the same as us: the body, soul (life), inner man, and spirit.

_MINISTRY_Encounter #3_Presence of the Holy SpiritRohan Dredge
In this, the third installment of the ENCOUNTER Series Rohan takes you through how the Holy Spirit was present and worked through people in the Old Testament and then on into the New Testament. Notice the shift in the activity of the Holy Spirit as He comes upon people in the OT for specific tasks and is poured out on all people in the NT.
This message is thick with scriptures as we unpack explore the specific role of the Holy Spirit in the OT and the shift in dispensation in the NT.
Landing on the big idea that “awareness of his presence enables access to his power.” Take some time to become aware of the places in your life where you need the Holy Spirit to come upon you in fullness and power. Ask God to make that real to you right now.
Enjoy beginning to walk with and relate personally to the Holy Spirit as your guide and best friend.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

2. ONE striking prediction
(vv. 32-34)
TWO very different requests
(vv. 25-52)
3. One Striking Prediction
Mark 10:32a
And they were on the road, going up to
Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead
of them. And they were amazed, and
those who followed were afraid.
4. One Striking Prediction
Mark 10:32b-34
And taking the twelve again, he began to tell
them what was to happen to him, saying,
“See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the
Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief
priests and the scribes, and they will condemn
him to death and deliver him over to the
Gentiles. And they will mock him and spit on
him, and flog him and kill him. And after three
days he will rise.”
5. Two Very Different Requests
Mark 10:35
And James and John, the sons of
Zebedee, came up to him and said to
him, “Teacher, we want you to do for
us whatever we ask of you.”
6. Two Very Different Requests
Mark 10:36-37
And he said to them, “What do you want
me to do for you?” And they said to him,
“Grant us to sit, one at your right hand
and one at your left, in your glory.”
8. Two Very Different Requests
Mark 10:38-40
Jesus said to them, “You do not know
what you are asking. Are you able to
drink the cup that I drink, or to be
baptized with the baptism with which I
am baptized?” And they said to him, “We
are able.”
9. Two Very Different Requests
Mark 10:38-40
And Jesus said to them, “The cup that I
drink you will drink, and with the baptism
with which I am baptized, you will be
baptized, but to sit at my right hand or at
my left is not mine to grant, but it is for
those for whom it has been prepared.”
10. Two Very Different Requests
Put yourself in the
sandals of the other
Ten ... How would you
feel when you heard
about the request of
James and John?
11. Two Very Different Requests
Mark 10:41
And when the ten heard it, they began to
be indignant at James and John.
12. Two Very Different Requests
Mark 10:42-44
“You know that those who are considered
rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and
their great ones exercise authority over
them. But it shall not be so among you. But
whoever would be great among you must be
your servant, and whoever would be first
among you must be slave of all. For even the
Son of Man came not to be served but to serve,
and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
13. Two Very Different Requests
Mark 10:46-47
And they came to Jericho. And as he was
leaving Jericho with his disciples and a
great crowd, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar,
the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the
roadside. And when he heard that it
was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry
out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have
mercy on me!”

15. Two Very Different Requests
Mark 10:46-47
And they came to Jericho. And as he was
leaving Jericho with his disciples and a
great crowd, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar,
the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the
roadside. And when he heard that it
was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry
out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have
mercy on me!”
16. Two Very Different Requests
Mark 10:48
And many rebuked him, telling him to be
silent. But he cried out all the more, “Son
of David, have mercy on me!”
He may have been blind to the light of
the sun BUT he was NOT blind to the
light of THE SON!
17. Two Very Different Requests
Mark 10:49-50
And Jesus stopped and said, “Call
him.” And they called the blind man,
saying to him, “Take heart. Get up; he is
calling you.” And throwing off his cloak,
he sprang up and came to Jesus.
18. Two Very Different Requests
Mark 10:51
And Jesus said to him, “What do you
want me to do for you?” And the blind
man said to him, “Rabbi, let me recover
my sight.”
19. Two Very Different Requests
Mark 10:52
And Jesus said to him, “Go your way;
your faith has made you well.” And
immediately he recovered his sight and
followed him on the way.
20. Today’s Takeaways
1. When you approach God with requests,
do they more closely resemble
- The request of James and John...born out
of selfish ambition and fueled by an
attitude of entitlement?
- The request of blind Bartimaeus...born out
of a desperate need and fueled by an
attitude of humble dependence?
21. Today’s Takeaways
2. Do you truly realize what a wonderful
Savior we have?
Isaiah 53:5
But he was pierced for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities; upon
him was the chastisement that brought us
peace, and with his wounds we are healed.
22. But God shows his love for us in
that while we were still sinners, Christ
died for us. (Romans 5:8)
