Digital Update November 12, 2021

WORSHIP On Sunday, we continue our series “Believe” in the Gospel of John. We will look at the first miracle of Jesus in John 2. We will discover that Mary, the mother of Jesus, believed in what Jesus could accomplish as Messiah. In performing this first miracle, Jesus impressed his newly formed group of disciples and they also believed. We may wonder why Jesus chose to turn water into wine, but as we will see, this situation was of utmost importance as Jesus saved the day and turned a tragedy into triumph. Jesus is also able to turn our tragedies into triumphs, too. Worship with us Sunday at 10:15am, in-person or livestream at mgbconline.com
