Focus Statement: “Jesus did this, the first of signs…and revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.”

Questions: When Mary went to Jesus about the wine shortage at the wedding feast, he said that his hour had not yet come, yet he provided the wine that was needed, and it was considered “the first of his signs.” When have you been surprised by a change in timing in your life, especially when beginning something new?	_______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________
When has your church had to change its plans and adjust its timing? What did you learn about yourself in the process?	_______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________
Why do you think the disciples “believed” in Jesus after this work of great wonder? How did their faith apparently change?	_______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________
Do you need to see miracles in order to believe? If so, what is a miracle to you? What is a work of great wonder, a sign?	_______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________
In the First Corinthians reading, Paul reminds us that “each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.” What works of wonder can we accomplish as individuals and as local churches that turn despair into hope, hatred into love, and violence into healing? Do you feel equal to the task? If not, what do you need?	_______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________
What unseen power lies within us that we do not recognize? What are your gifts? What gifts do you discern within your congregation, and how is God calling you to transform the world around you?	_______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________ _______________________________
