The sermon "Rooted in Obedience," delivered by Associate & Student Pastor Matt Willingham on May 12, 2024, illustrates the transformative power of obedience to Jesus by using the miracle of turning water into wine at the wedding in Cana. It emphasizes that obedience should stem from recognizing who Jesus is rather than what He can do. The act of filling waterpots, as Jesus commanded, symbolizes simple acts of obedience that lead to miraculous outcomes, ultimately manifesting God's glory and strengthening belief among His followers.
