About this sermon

We're wrapping up our Generation to Generation series with a story about a wedding, six stone jars, and a mother who wouldn't stop encouraging her son. In this message, Rev. Scott Chrostek looks at Jesus's first miracle in John 2, turning water into wine at a wedding in Cana, and what it teaches us about the power of showing up for people across generational lines. We live in the most age-diverse society in human history, yet most of us struggle to find real relationships outside our own generation. This message is an invitation to change that: to encourage someone younger or older than you, to let yourself be encouraged, and to discover what it means to become family with people who aren't bound by bloodline or age. In this message: - Why weddings were one of the few places all generations gathered in Jesus's day - How Mary encouraged Jesus to take his first step of ministry - The surprising detail about the six stone water jars, and what it points to - What Jesus's words from the cross teach us about becoming family - A real story of an unlikely, 57-years-apart friendship at Resurrection Downtown New here?
