Sermon: “What About Miracles?”
Theme: Miracles are signs and messages that people will see differently depending upon their relationship with God, but can appreciate the common sign and meaning.
Purpose: We will see what unites us and divides us in our interpretation of how God works in our midst.
Scriptures: Ephesians 3:14-21 May you be filled by the riches and great power of God.
John 6:1-21 Jesus feeds the five thousand and walks on the water, stills the storm.
Questions: What should we believe regarding miracles? Is it acceptable for people to disagree about how literally to take accounts of miracles? What are the purposes of miracles? Why don’t miracles happen more frequently? How does someone who is less inclined to believe in supernatural events interpret scripture as opposed to someone who feels a strong connection to the miracle stories? Why do many people find themselves in arguments over their belief in miracles?
