MIRACLES:  GOD'S ACTS OF WONDER

                          A POWER THAT TRANSFORMS LIVES

                           John 20.19-22; 2 Corinthians 5.17

 In his book, Troublesome Bible Passages, vol. 2, Randy Cross defines a miracle as ...nothing more nor less than the in-breaking of God's love and power in this world.  Sometimes it happens through what we normally call miraculous occurrences, but it is not limited in any way to those supernatural events.  It occurs anytime our lives are blessed with the assurance of God's love.

It was a transformational moment for Mary Magdalene has she met the risen Christ in the garden.  I think it was one for the Roman soldier whose son was healed, and the woman who was bent over and for the little boy who fed 5000 with his lunches.

When a miracle happens in someone's life, they often find new purpose and meaning.  They receive a passion that is contagious in their desire to influence the lives of others.  Come and share in worship with us as finish looking at some of the miracles in scripture and in our own lives.
