One More Thing

Hi Five Oakers, The weekend is here and there are couple of things I want to share with you:

The Weekend

I can't tell you how excited I am to share with you what I've been learning this week from the miracle where Jesus feeds 4000 hungry people. Seriously, I have some fascinating things to share with you. I'll leave it at that.

FYI

Debbie Holloway on "What the Unbroken Movie Left Out about Louis Zamperini"

On the heels of Angelina Jolie’s feature film Unbroken, The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association has produced a documentary on the life of Louis Zamperini entitled Captured by Grace, partially narrated by Zamperini himself.

One More Thing

Jared Wilson on The Feeding of the Four Thousand in his book, Wonder-Working God:

Jesus once again blesses the small provision of fish and loaves, and supplies the needs of four thousand hungry people , who all eat until they are satisfied (v. 8). Once again, against all odds, Jesus can be trusted with very little to satisfy very much.

10 Tweets

Here isTim's weekend sermon in 10 Tweets, Marvels & Wonders: The Miracles of Jesus (John 2:1-12):

1/ A road sign can't prove that the Shrine of Guadalupe is there, or that this is really the way to get there. You have to actually follow the sign.

2/ Jesus's miraculous signs show us who to follow, and where he's taking us.  They show us who he is, and give us a glimpse of his kingdom.

3/ Tim Keller says this miracle is so weird it has to be true.  You'd never make up a story about fixing a catering disaster as his first miracle.

4/ Where Jesus reigns there is Joy and Celebration - this wedding is a glimpse of what his kingdom is like.

5/ This was a huge wedding celebration...bigger than prom!

6/ Jesus is compassionate. He cared about their screw-up. He cares about the details of life.

7/ Jesus brings celebration in place of self-purification.

8/ The groom gets it all wrong. He doesn't have his act together; he doesn't prepare well. But because of Jesus he gets credit for being perfect.

9/ Our reality is transformed when Jesus is present and we do whatever he tells us.

10/ Don't settle for joylessness!
