What if your deepest longings aren’t bad, they’re just aimed too low?
This week on Off Script, Neil and Scott dig into Jesus’ first miracle at the wedding in Cana and the details that didn’t make it into Sunday’s message. They talk about servants hauling heavy jars, why obedience often feels inconvenient, and how our everyday desires point to something far bigger than we expect. From baby pools at the beach to the smell of bread outside a packed restaurant, this conversation keeps circling one question: Are we settling for the sample when Jesus is offering the table?
Challenge: Do what Jesus says. Trust Him with the results. Don’t settle for the smell of the feast when you’ve been invited to sit down.
“Obey Jesus and leave the consequences to Him”
