of the week:
Matthew 17:24-27
WINTER SERMON SERIES
"Miracles"
The Gospel of Matthew
The word “miracle” has been used extensively in our culture from movie names to song names to product names and more. The use of the word “miracle” seems commonplace today. But as we study the miracles of Jesus, we need to understand what a miracle really is. One definition of miracle is: “an extraordinary event manifesting divine intervention in human affairs.” The miracles of Jesus are unquestionable displays of God’s divine intervention.
Do you need a miracle today? A miracle doesn’t have to be Jesus walking on water or healing a leper. A miracle is when Jesus shows up and touches a person in need. When God forgives a sinner and accepts that person into his family, it requires a miracle. Salvation is the greatest miracle of all.
Matthew 19:26 says, “But Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.’”
