Desperate Times Call for Desperate Measures
There are seven events in the Gospel of John that are commonly referred to as the 7 Signs of John: Water into wine, Healing of a nobleman’s son, Healing of a man at the Pool of Bethesda, Feeding the 5,000, Walking on the water in the midst of a storm, Healing a blind man, and Raising Lazarus from the dead. We would call these miracles; John called them signs. The word sign is a technical term in the Gospel of John that refers specifically to the 7 miracles that serve to point people to belief in Jesus. These miracles are the subject of our study as we begin this New Year. Last week, we read the account of the first sign—Jesus turning water into wine at a wedding. Although that sounds a little odd to us, the miracle helps us to see that when we have a need that seems impossible, we can call on Jesus. He can do all things.

Arise, call on your God; perhaps your God will consider us, so that we may not perish.” Jonah 1:6 “For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.” Romans 8:19 1. The desperation of the world. 2. The necessity of a situation. 3. The voice of God 4. Encouragement
Jesus and the Unclean Woman
Touching the hem of Jesus' robe...
Lord, I Need Help - Quick!
David is in trouble and he needs help quick. There is no time for formalities, no time for rhetoric, just raw need. This Psalm is a passionate prayer filled with meaningful instruction. Let us examine the words of this godly man as he comes face to face with desperation.
When the Going Gets Tough the Tough Get Building(By Phil Wagler)
Desperation seems to bring out the best in people...and the worst. What are the good things it reveals and how do we recover that desperation that we long to live with?
