Summary

Do you respond to God’s Will promptly and wholeheartedly? Dr. Sri focuses on Mary’s powerful words to the servants at the Wedding Feast of Cana and explains how those words are rooted in old testament language around covenant obedience and how they can inspire us to respond boldly to Jesus in discipleship.

Snippet from the Show

“At the Wedding Feast at Cana, when Mary says, ‘Do whatever he tells you’ it’s as if she has on her lips the profession of faith that Israel made at Mount Sinai when they respond to Moses ‘We will do everything the Lord has said.’ “
