Episode Synopsis
In this powerful message from Northeast Christian Church, Pastor Justin Larkin unpacks Jesus' first miracle at the wedding in Cana (John 2:1–11) — turning water into wine. But this wasn't just about saving a party; it was about revealing his identity as the Messiah and pointing toward the ultimate moment of sacrifice on the cross.
