The Wilderness Years, and the Power of God—by Mark Ottenweller

Sermon summary:

God displayed his power by speaking creation into existence. He spoke the word and it happened

He also shows his power in your life and how you were made. He parted the Red Sea, made the sun stop in the middle of the sky. And through Jesus, he showed his power by healing and raising people from the dead. Jesus died for our sins, and can heal us spiritually, emotionally, and physically.

Through the Holy Spirit, he raised us to new life. We need to teach our children by proclaiming his power and strength, and use the Spirit to help us deal with sin.

Practical: Thank God every day for saving and healing you. Ask God to pour our his Spirit on you=power to grow.
