Desert Oasis Chapel is open and affirming. We're a non-denominational Christian church that affirms the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered community as we join together in worship, prayer, and searching for God's place in and purpose for your life. We proclaim the Lordship of Jesus Christ, the authority of Holy Scripture on all matters of faith and personal practice and the complete equality of all persons in the eyes of God. You are always welcome and if you have guests in from out of town, invite them to join you.

A lot of men and women are sharing that their return to church and to Christian worship is more uplifting and positive than they had imagined. "The Oasis" is a great place to meet good people and to get support and encouragement. The service, with Mark playing it sweet it at the piano, begins at 10:00 a.m. at Wiefel's Chapel, 690 South Vella Road in Palm Springs. Whether you're a long-time believer, new in your faith or still seeking, we welcome you. Visit our website, desertoasischapel.com for more information and a map. God's word says that God is calling out to you in love, asking but not forcing you to respond. If you've been hurt by the church in your past, come back and look again, the story of Jesus' life, death and resurrection is truly the greatest love story of all time.

Plan to stay after the service for a time to gather and talk, share, get acquainted right at the same location in the Hospitality Center. Set aside a few extra minutes for this Fellowship time, it really is a great way to meet good people in a town where that can be difficult.

Once more Jesus visited Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine. And there was a certain royal official whose son lay sick at Capernaum. When this man heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea, he went to him and begged him to come and heal his son, who was close to death.

"Unless you people see miraculous signs and wonders," Jesus told him, "you will never believe." The royal official said, "Sir, come down before my child dies." Jesus replied, "You may go. Your son will live." The man took Jesus at his word and departed. While he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was living. When he inquired as to the time when his son got better, they said to him, "The fever left him yesterday at the seventh hour."

Then the father realized that this was the exact time at which Jesus had said to him, "Your son will live." So he and all his household believed. This was the second miraculous sign that Jesus performed, having come from Judea to Galilee.

John 4:46-54

This passage describes Jesus’ second miracle, the first was in the same town of Cana, the change of the water into wine. Here the stakes are raised. Both miracles are depictions of God’s grace through Jesus’ actions. In this one, however, it’s a matter of life and death.
