We are in week one of a fresh new series called "Sign Language: The Gospel according to John". There was nobody this side of Glory closer to Jesus than John. And in his biography of Jesus' life, ministry, death, and resurrection, he shares seven of Jesus' miracles that he says were "signs"... miracles with a message... supernatural exploits that point to something beyond the miracle itself and reveal something significant about Jesus and His salvation. The first miracle was Jesus attending a wedding and reception where the wine supply ran completely out. What happened next reveals that reaching for Jesus is far superior than reaching for that drink. God sent His Son into the world because the Messiah brings true recreation... fun, gladness of heart, pleasure, peace, and the means to deal with our pain- without the grief and regret. ................

"...but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God." -1st Samuel 30:6c In 2013, what happened to Harrison Okene of Nigeria made international headlines. Serving as a cook on a tugboat off the coast of Nigeria, a massive wave hit the boat causing it to completely capsize and sink to the bottom of the ocean floor trapping Okene in an air pocket inside the vessel. Within minutes Harrison heard the voices of his eleven fellow crew members go deafly silent as they perished in the carnage. Minutes turned to hours, and then to three long days in the dark, cold, upside down world of the tugboat where Harrison had only a Coca-Cola and a prayer that somehow God could save Him. One can only imagine the feeling Okene had when deep sea divers searching for the boat came with light pouring from their head lamps and found him alive- rescuing him. Between the time that David was anointed to be Israel's next king, and the time where he was appointed to rule, David was constantly on the run from Saul's army. When a thug-militia of Amelekites raided his home village of Ziklag, kidnapping he and his men's wives and children, his once faithful men turned on him and deliberated killing him. 1st Samuel 30:6 says that David, on the brink of being completely overwhelmed and killed, "encouraged himself in the Lord His God" and found light, strength, and total salvation. ................

Have you ever felt like one slip of your foot... one more misstep... or one additional weight or worry added to your plate could be all it would take for you to lose it? Are you there now? Like a real life version of the game we all used to play as a kid, "The floor is lava". If you slip and fall... you're done. The Apostle Paul resonated with this in his life as he was faithfully walking and working with the Lord. But he said he kept it together by virtue of an all-surpassing power that was most clearly from God Himself and not his own strength or stability. ..................

King George VII made a prestigious appearance and gave his royal blessing as an important hospital was being built. The momentous occasion was accompanied by beautiful music sang by school children who were wonderfully excited to have the honor of seeing the king of England himself. After the event concluded a schoolteacher noticed that one of her students was crying and she asked her, "What's the matter dear child? Didn't you see the king today?" The girl replied, "Yes, but he didn't see me." In this sermon, Pastor Jazz talks about how in the Kingdom of God, every single citizen is seen, known, and treasured by the High King of Heaven Himself and has immediate, intimate, and infinite access to Him. ...............

The cheesecake was to be picked up from a specific restaurant in Brooklyn. The cast mates were to walk all the way across the Brooklyn Bridge on FOOT, and back, in the middle of the night... an eight hour trek, in order to prove to Puffy and the MTV viewing audience that they were qualified to make the Band and become a part of the next big thing in hip hop. The Apostle Paul told the Colossians that they did not have to jump through hoops and humiliate themselves in order to become a part of the prestigious, world-impacting Kingdom of God because the Father Himself had already qualified them... and all of US... who respond correctly to the Gospel. ................

Young Ray Charles discovered that the taking AWAY of ONE of his senses... radically and powerfully INCREASED the strength of the others. Young Ray losing his ability to SEE, gave him the ability to SENSE in ways that he never could have otherwise. His limitation SERVED him as the backdrop to becoming one of the greatest music artists of all time. This is the nature of fasting... denying oneself food and/or other pleasurable things in order to strengthen one's spirit and draw closer to God Himself. Fasting has both physical and spiritual benefits and was a part of Jesus Christ's own journey through the wilderness and temptation to making an impact on the world that has forever changed history and altered the future of the Universe for the glory of God. Advisory: Please consult a medical professional before fasting if you have any physical concerns or issues that could be negatively impacted by going extended periods without food. May God bless and increase you, and give you grace to prosper in all of His purposes for your life. ................

Having a LITTLE bit of something versus having a whole LOT of something can make a massive difference. Think about money. When you are barely getting by paying your bills, you feel and move one way. Yes, your bills are paid and you have somewhere to live. But the stress, anxiety, and uncertainty is daunting. But when you are doing extremely WELL financially and you have the means and freedom to not only pay your bills, but to eat where you want to, to bless somebody with the proverbial "golden handshake", to serve the destitute among us, and even mess around and go on a nice vacation that is stress-free... the entire experience is completely night and day. That's because having a LITTLE bit of something is very different from having a whole LOT of something. In this sermon, Pastor Jazz impactfully preaches and teaches about how there is a difference between HAVING the Holy Spirit of God by trusting and following the Savior Jesus Christ, versus being FILLED with the Holy Spirit of God as you trust and follow the Savior and make room for the Spirit to fill you. The Apostle Paul told the Ephesians, "Don't be drunk [filled] with wine because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit." - Ephesians 5:18 As Shakespeare so powerfully depicted in his masterpiece Othello, deep and desirous in the heart of every man is the yearning for freedom... to do what one pleases without unnecessary restraint and restriction. The God of the Gospel not only imputes righteousness so that we might be FORGIVEN, but He unshackles and empowers us so that we might be FREE. ...Free from religion gone bad, free from the slavery of the lusts of the flesh... and free to be abundant as we join God in blessing the world in Jesus' Name as those who are FULL of the One who liberates. What could you do with a wholeeeee lot of LOVE?... JOY... PEACE... PATIENCE.... KINDNESS... GOODNESS... GENTLENESS... FAITHFULNESS... and SELF-CONTROL? ..................
