Don't put cell phones in the microwave. It can cause a huge chemical fire.

Transformation: from water to wine, from one thing to another.

One of the biggest transformations: marriage.

Jesus's first miracle took place at a wedding.

John 2:1-11:
1On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there, 2and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3When the wine was gone, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no more wine."
4"Dear woman, why do you involve me?" Jesus replied, "My time has not yet come."
5His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you."
6Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.[1]
7Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the jars with water"; so they filled them to the brim.
8Then he told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet."
9They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside 10and said, "Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now."
11This, the first of his miraculous signs, Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee. He thus revealed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him.

In order to transform, you must first see the need.

Never give in to drinking alcohal.

Back then there was no water purification system.

In order to transform, you must be willing.

God has given us free will.

Jesus is in the business of transformation.

Transformation brings out the best in you.

It is possible to spend $14,000 on a bottle of wine.

Jesus's wine was probably better.

Miracles continue to happen today.

Set goals for the summer.

Prayer brings about a "radical" transformation.

Go back to school on fire for God.

It only takes one person to transform a school.
