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.
Watch the full service
here:
To embrace Jesus's mission, I must first clothe myself with Jesus and have his character formed in me. He must become greater, I must become less. Then I"ll be able to do as Jesus did.
God's grace is with me. We need each other. Grace is a gift.
My Story, His Glory. God wants to glorify himself through our lives and always shows up when least expected. As his followers, he entrusts his flock to us. He expects us to care for one another, build one another up, eradicate gossip and slander from our lives and forgive one another.
The world longs to see our Father, and he wants to use us to show what goodness looks like. Our role is to become more like Jesus and to love him, become more like him, and intercede for people.
