Sermon Notes for 02/08/2026
TITLE: Jesus' Second Sign
SCRIPTURE: John 4:46-54
Signs don’t create faith; they only reveal it.
The Official Seeks Jesus (46-47)
- The son of a royal official was sick
- The official had access to the best physicians money could buy, but when his son was at the point of death, he sought Jesus.
Jesus’ Rebuke (48-50)
- Jesus looks at the official, and everyone else around and rebuked them (v48)
- He’s not being cruel, He’s diagnosing a deeper issue that affects all of them - lack of faith
- The desperate father responds, “Sir, come down before my child dies.” (49)
- Jesus responds powerfully with 5 words
- The official left Jesus believing His words
The Confirmation (51-54)
- On the way home, the official’s servants find him
- His son was healed… even though Jesus was 25 miles away
Jesus doesn't just want crisis faith, the kind that reaches out when we're desperate but forgets Him when things improve. He wants the kind of faith that changes everything, that brings the whole household with it.
