This sermon, delivered during a Consecration Sunday service, uses the wedding at Cana of Galilee (John 2) as the foundation for exploring God's abundant grace versus worldly scarcity. The pastor emphasizes that Jesus' first miracle—turning water into wine—demonstrates God's movement from maintenance to mission, from scarcity to abundance. The sermon connects this biblical narrative to contemporary stewardship, inviting the congregation to respond to God's generosity not through obligation but through joyful participation in ministry. The message challenges believers to shift their focus from what they lack to the abundance God provides, and to see their financial giving as an estimate of participation in God's mission rather than a pledge to a budget.
