John 2 - Wedding, Temple, & Passover

Send us a text

Pastor Eric Cepin explores John Chapter 2, posing the critical question: "What do you want from Jesus?" This inquiry challenges us to reflect on our intentions in seeking Christ. Unlike earthly figures, Jesus cannot be controlled, yet His love for us is unwavering. Pastor Eric emphasizes the importance Jesus places on the motives behind our worship. He acts, not out of condemnation, but to refine and redirect our devotion towards authenticity.

Further, Pastor Eric sheds light on Jesus' interaction with His mother in John 2. This exchange between mother and son reveals a contrast in agendas. It's a compelling example of how human plans often differ from divine purpose, yet in Jesus' response, we find wisdom and grace. This portion of scripture invites us to consider the alignment of our desires with God's will.

The Village Church’s sermon podcast is more than just a weekly message. It is an invitation into the great and ongoing story of God’s work in the world. Pastors Eric, Mark, Susan, Daniel, and other leaders open the Scriptures not as a collection of abstract ideas but as the living, breathing witness to God’s kingdom breaking into our midst. Each episode is a call—not merely to listen, but to take part, to step forward into the life of faith with renewed vision and purpose.

Week by week, the pastors and leaders explore the deep rhythms of Christian discipleship—prayer, fasting, generosity—not as isolated duties but as part of a larger, richer, and more beautiful whole. They unpack these ancient practices in light of Jesus himself, the one in whom heaven and earth have come together. But they also turn their attention to the realities of everyday life—relationships, finances, the struggles and joys of being human—demonstrating how the gospel is not merely about what we believe but about how we live as God's renewed people in the present age.
