Running out

What have you run out of? What are you running

out of? Right now?

What are you constantly afraid of running out of? Is

it wisdom?

Is it peace? Is it ideas?

Are you out of ideas for how to fix a relationship?

Are you out of ideas for how to reach a

level of success that you thought you would have been

at four years ago?

What are you running out of? What have you run

out of?

The worst thing is the run out of gas when

you're the one driving. The worst thing is for people

to show up to your kitchen and all you have

is cheese and brand. The worst thing is when you

know that people expect something of you, because some of

you you're the life of the party, Some of you

you're the strong one. Some of you you are the

one that people come to with their problems, and they

don't know you are sick of being the place where

they dump their crap. You got your own sewage, and

they keep backing up and dumping more on you, and

they don't even know how close you are to quitting,

and you're running out. And that's why I like this,

because you don't have to say it out loud.

I'll say it for you.

Everybody in here is running out of something not wine?

How about joy?

How about how how about how you haven't been happy

in a long time?

Were you here when I preached on joy?

Well, since since wine represents joy, I thought it'd be

good to stay in this flow. But Jesus comes to

the wedding and he's a guest. But he's about to

provide what the host could not provide. Why he did

not come to demand righteousness. He came to provide righteousness.

He flipped the flow.

The first thing Jesus did was to take away the

shame of a couple who had run out of what

they were unable to provide. That's the first thing he

does when he comes in your life. He doesn't just

expose your shame. He doesn't just come to condemn you.

He doesn't just come to point out everything.

That's wrong with you.

He says, I didn't come just to show you your shame.

I came to take it away. Look the lamb of

God who takes away the sin of the world. I'm

happy about it.

I need the.

Lord in my life because because I'm so I'm so

scared I'm gonna run out. And yet the Bible says

that Jesus didn't do anything about it. He let it

run out. He let it run out, He let it

happen like he often will do. Until watch this. When

the wine was gone, jesus mother said to him, he

gotta imagine the wine's the wine's really important at the wedding.

This is not the first person who has discovered that

is gone.

They probably had many discussions and there's probably been a

lot of finger pointing. That's one thing on that documentary

I watch. Everybody was saying it was everybody's fault. Everybody

was pointing. Everybody was pointing at somebody else.

Well, we didn't know what. We didn't know what we

didn't know?

How did you not know? That's what we wanted to know,

is how did you not know? But Jesus's mother knew something. Rather,

she knew someone, and she did something interesting. She didn't

go to the wedding planner. She didn't go to the

couple Jesus's mother when the wine was gone, Jesus's mother.

Married, Did you know? Yeah, she knew, she knew.

She didn't know what to do, but she knew who

to go to. I'm gonna preach this message today. I'm

coming for it today because you don't know what to

do right now right. But if you know who to

go to and see a lot of the reason you've

been running out is because you've been running around.

To people who don't have what you need.

They don't have it, they can't give it. They got

their own stuff. They're running dry too. But if you

go to the man from Kali Lee, if you go

to the one whose name is life. She came to

Jesus and said they have no more wine. She didn't

tell him about the solution. She just told him the need.

She just told him what he already knew. I promise

you he already knew. How do I know he already

knew because he was the word from the beginning. If

he spoke the grapes onto the vine, he certainly knew

that they didn't bring enough.

He knew.

I know he knew because in John chapter six, when

he turned the Little Boy's.

Value Pack Chick.

Fil Value Pack, when he turned it into a buffet

all you can eat buffet, he asked Philip, what are

we gonna do about this?

And Philip was an accountant, so.

Philip was like, if we did, the Times just doesn't

carry the one Ton can't do it, but the Bible says,

give me John six six. I know I didn't use

it in the last one, but I want to use

it because these people want it. They really really wanted.

These people are hungry, These people want the word of die.

He asked this only to test him, for he already knew.

He already knew what he was gonna do. How cool

is that?

You mean, I'm coming before God praying a lot of times,

and I'm like, like, I'm God's administrative assistant, you know, like, Lord,

just reminding you about that appointment you missed last week

when I asked you to help me with the thing

and I told you to fix them and you didn't

fix them. So just putting it back on your calendar

if you get around to it. Lord, he's you know,

if you get because you know, and then this other

thing over here blah blah blah blah blah, and lately I've.

Been praying like this. You already know. I know, you know,

I know. You know.

That's why Mary went to Jesus, even though it wasn't

his job. He was just a guest at the wedding,

but she knew what was in him because he had

been in her. And when Christ is in you and

you are in Christ, you already know how.

Many of you.

You already know that God will do it.

You just don't know how.

Okay, that's all Mary knew.

Mary, did you know?

Mary be like, yeah, I knew he would, but I

didn't know how he would.

I didn't know how.

But see, every need in your life is pointing you

to a deeper source. Every sign that John recorded was

pointing to something deeper. Every need that you experience in

your life is pointing you to a deeper place in

God that you can access. A deeper place of strength,

a deeper place of confidence, a deeper place of health,

a deeper place of relationship, a deeper place of dependence.

Everything is pointing to something deeper. So when she said

they have no more wine, Jesus responded, and I don't

recommend this as like something to say to your mom

or your wife verse four.

Woman, why do you involve me?

That's not like a great marriage seminar love languages verse

But see, she didn't tell Jesus the need to inform

him like we do.

She didn't pray like a ritual.

In God bless me today as I go to the

thing and after the thing, and God just let me

go through my list and worry about it and say

that I'm praying, But really, all I'm doing is worrying

out loud with my eyes closed.

She wasn't She wasn't doing it to inform him.

She was doing it to involve him because she knew

if he gets involved. I don't know what he'll do,

but I know who he is now. I'm gonna need

you to shout right now. If you know who he is,

Come on, Blakeney, don't be quiet. I know you love

the Lord. I need you to shout right now. If

you know who he is, I know who to go to.

I lift my eyes to be Hill. And his mother

watched this. His mother goes to him. He says to

his mother, My woman, I'm gonna start talking to Holliday woman.

You know, help them with their homework. Woman, Why do

you involve me? That's my favorite verse this year. I'm

gonna use that luck this year. Woman, Why do you

involve me?

In? Just white?

My hour is not yet come. He's talking about the cross,

but she needs to do something right now. Some of

us have things that we need. God to do now,

we really do we need him?

Now? Yeah, I'm going to heaven when I die. And yeah,

there's the.

White horse that I read about in the Book of Revelation,

the Book of Revelations, and people put an s on it.

Book of Revelations, walmarts Revelations.

Yeah it's great, But how about now? And so watch

what she does.

She doesn't argue, she doesn't convince, she doesn't beg In fact,

she doesn't talk to Jesus anymore.

She turns away from.

Jesus, points to the people who are working at the wedding,

and verse five, she said to the servants, do whatever

he tells you, because if you start moving in faith,

he's gonna do something. I don't know what he didn't

tell me. I don't know the details. I don't know

the plan. I went to the wedding planner. This isn't

even my party. But if you'll start moving, if you'll

start obeying, take a step, you're gonna see some finishing sun.
