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.

We all start out the same way, fearfully and wonderfully made by God. The question is: How do you want your life story to play out? God's goodness pursues us. And while things in life won't work out just because you pray, the cross is the greatest evidence of God's goodness. What will you allow him to do in your life?
Yada is a Hebrew word that means "to know". God reveals himself to us through his power, his loving kindness, his word, Holy Spirit and forgiveness. The cross is the ultimate expression of God's love for us.
The Hebrew word "yada" means "to know" from the heart or by experience. While the word "relationship" is not in the Bible, it permeates the scriptures. God knows our hearts and our thoughts. We get to know him by being broken, humble, completely open and by making it our goal to know him.
