Oftentimes when we think of offerings with respect to God, we think of the money that we put in the collection plate on Sundays, our tithes and offerings. After all, we're supposed to give God 10% of our money, right? I mean, sure, but if we consider our offering to be only what we put in the offering plate at church, then perhaps we've missed the point behind the offering. And that point can be summed up in three little words: offerings are messy.

Offerings are Messy!

First Miracle
Many of you may know that Jesus' first miracle was at a wedding (John 2:1-11). Or at least you know that his first miracle was when he turned water into wine. Or maybe you just know that Jesus turned water into wine sometime in the Bible.
The point is: Jesus + water -> wine = miracle. (Yes, I know that was part chemical and part mathematical equation.) But what if that one simple miracle was a foreshadowing of Jesus' entire ministry and purpose on Earth? What if in this trivial act Jesus was actually showing us why he came? Okay, so you might be really confused at the moment, but hold on, an explanation is coming!
