The Gospel of John records Jesus' first miracle at a wedding in Cana not simply as a display of power, but as a sign pointing to his redemptive purpose of transforming lives completely.

• Jesus turned ordinary water for Jewish purification into extraordinary wine
• This miracle is called a "sign" because it points to something greater than itself
• The dirty water represents our lives before Christ
• Jesus doesn't just clean the outside (like religion attempts) but transforms us completely
• We move from being spiritually dead, blind, and lost to becoming children of God who can see and walk
• Christ takes what is broken and presents us as something beautiful to the Father
• True transformation comes only through Jesus, not through religious effort

We explore how miracles often occur on the other side of obedience, using Jesus's first miracle of turning water into wine as a powerful example of faith in action.

• Mary's instruction to the servants: "Do whatever Jesus tells you to do"
• The critical question: What is Jesus telling you to do right now?
• Jesus asked servants to do things that made no logical sense
• Miracles often happen when we step out in faith and obedience
• Example from Acts 3: Peter reached out his hand before the lame man was healed
• Faith means acting as if you truly believe God is who He says He is
• Practical challenge to take action on what God has called you to do

Mary's advice to the servants at the wedding in Cana—"do whatever he tells you"—may be the best guidance in the entire Bible for followers of Jesus. This simple instruction defines discipleship and guarantees we'll always do the right thing, though not necessarily the easiest.

• The GOSPEL framework helps discern what Jesus is telling us to do
• G - Gospel alignment: God's direction always advances the gospel
• O - Others: Trusted people often confirm God's voice in our lives
• S - Scripture: The Bible is our primary source of God's commands
• P - Prayer: Bringing decisions before God through consistent prayer
• E - Experience: Past experiences often confirm God's calling
• L - Love: Whatever God calls us to do will be driven by love
• God never contradicts in personal direction what He has established in Scripture
• Some commands are universal for all believers: make disciples, forgive, tithe, love
• Sometimes we must "pray, guess, and go," trusting God with outcomes
