MIRACLES:  GOD'S ACTS OF WONDER

I often get asked, "Does God still perform miracles?"  I believe that God still is in the business of performing miracles and that they are all around us. Over the next two weeks, we will look at a few of the miracles that God has worked.

January 29/30  :  MIRACLES:  GOD'S ACTS OF WONDER

                             A HEART THAT HEARS US

                             Mark 10.46-52
 

In the January 14 Milwaukee Journal/Sentinel an article lifted up the funeral of 9 year old Christina Green who was killed in the Tucson shooting.  In the article, Rep. Gabrielle Gifford's neurosurgeon was interviewed.  Dr. Michael Lemole smiled when asked if Gifford's recovery was a miracle.  He said Miracles happen every day.  In medicine, we like to very much attribute them to either what we do or others do around us.  But a lot of medicine is outside of our control, and we're wise to acknowledge miracles.

Miracles.  Do you believe in them?  This weekend we are going to look at miracles in the Bible and miracles in our world.  In preparation for worship this weekend, I invite you to read the scripture from Mark and reflect on some of the following questions.

Do you believe in miracles?

Have you experienced a miracle?

Do you know someone who has experienced a miracle?

Have you ever prayed for a miracle?

Have you received a miracle in your life or in the life of someone you know as a result of prayer?

Do you believe that the miracles of Jesus really happened?

How would you define a miracle?
