There is Power in the Kingdom 1-25-98

Sermon 1-25-98 There is Power in the Kingdom

To them he gave power to become the sons of God
Power...examples we can relate to...hard to think of
Powerlessness...plenty of example

to train children, to control our relationships
to drive on ice, to pick clothes that match

In the world there is a sense of powerlessness
Powerlessness over hatred, abuse, war, wickedness, addiction, oppression, sorrow, anger, manipulation

In K of God, there is power
power to become...power to change

Power always comes from somewhere...
you don't find it laying in the gutter
power is delivered from a greater source to a lesser
Jesus Christ is the greater source
all things were made by him
in him was like
his life was the light of men and women
full of glory, grace and truth

Power to become a Christian...to see change in your life
to face with confidence that which has frightened you

  • I have seen those with cancer die, but I have also seen them live
  • I have seen those who were addicted fail, but I have also seen them rise above
  • I have seen those who were followers of Stan, become followers of Christ
With the help of God
  • the shallow can become deep
  • the lost become found
  • the weak can become strong
  • the broken can become healed
There is power to become in the kingdom of God

There is power to become the sons of God
he did not make them become
he gave them the power, they chose to step u
they were given a chance to participate

Need power in your life
trust, have faith in God, receive power to change
or to grow in grace
or to become a son, or daughter of God
