Two quotes from Dave's sermon: Soren Kierkegaard made this bold statement -

"Christ turned water into wine but the church has succeeded in doing something even more difficult; it has turned wine into water!"  

Abraham Joshua Heschel, rabbi and civil rights spiritual leader observed "People of our time are losing the power of celebration. Instead of celebrating we seek to be amused or entertained. Celebration is an active state, an act of expressing reverence or appreciation. To be entertained is a passive state--it is to receive pleasure afforded by an amusing act or a spectacle....Celebration is a confrontation, giving attention to the transcendent meaning of one's actions."
