Noah Herrin preaches from John 2 (the wedding at Cana) to launch the "Only God" series, inviting the church to expect things only God can do. He focuses on Mary’s faithful persistence: even when Jesus says, “My hour has not yet come,” she tells the servants, “Do whatever he tells you,” and Jesus miraculously turns water into wine. Herrin connects that story to Hebrews 11:1 (faith as confidence in what we hope for) and Psalm 42:5, arguing that faith grows when we fix our eyes on Jesus and remember what he has already done. He urges listeners to get their hopes up again, to ask God for “only God” things, to prepare as if the miracle is coming, and to give sacrificially as part of the church’s vision.
“Scripture on faith: "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." (Hebrews 11:1 quoted)” · Noah Herrin
Take it with you
Get your hopes up by fixing your eyes on Jesus rather than trying to muster bigger faith on your own. Respond to apparent 'no's by preparing and acting in faith (like Mary) - that posture can move God or change you for the better. Pray for "only God" needs that require divine intervention, consider sacrificial giving as a faith response, and share any testimonies so they encourage others.

It's Only Crazy Until It Happens - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Matthew 8 (the centurion story) as part of the "Only God" series, arguing that God wants the credit for things in our lives and often works miraculously to restore creation to its intended state. He explains that Jesus' miracles are restorative - pointing back to Genesis (creation) and forward to the redeemed future - and that faith grows by looking at Jesus, thinking like Jesus, and then acting.
Only God - For My Money - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from 2 Corinthians 9 on how money competes for the human heart and why Christians should give so that only God gets the credit. He argues that God is jealous for our hearts and that money often becomes an idol, so Jesus talks about money frequently to expose that idol and reorient us.
