In this episode, Pastor Felisha takes us to the wedding at Cana, where we witness the first of Jesus' miracles—turning water into wine. Through this miraculous event, recorded solely in the Book of John, we explore the layers of joy, abundance, and divine timing embedded in Jesus' actions. Pastor Felisha not only recounts the story but delves deep into its implications for our daily lives, encouraging a faith-filled response to life's shortages and challenges.
