  • How Powerful Is God?
    1 How powerful is God? GENESIS 18:10-11, 13-14 The LORD said…Sarah your wife shall have a son…11Now Abraham and Sarah were old, advanced in years…13The Lord said to Abraham…14Is anything too hard for the Lord? At the appointed time…Sarah shall have a son. The 4½ million-pound spaceship Columbia blasted off with a long fiery tail. Two minutes later, it had reached an altitude of 23 miles. It circled the globe at 17,000 miles per hour. Imagine the power that it took to push that huge rocket through space at that speed! Did you know God is more powerful than that? The Bible says, “The Lord is…great in power” (Nahum 1:3). He made the heavens and Earth. God spoke and it was there! He is almighty. He rules over all nations. God’s power has no limits. He can make anything happen. The Bible tells about Abraham and Sarah. God promised them that they would have many children, but no children were born. One day, God sent an angel to Abraham when he and Sarah were almost 100 years old. The angel told him that the following year Sarah would have a son. That was impossible! When Sarah laughed, the angel said, “Is anything too hard for the Lord?” (Genesis 18:14). Sure enough, Sarah had a son! Because God is all-powerful, He could make this impossible thing happen. The next time you have a problem, remember that God is very powerful and wants to help you. THINK ABOUT IT! What are some ways God shows His power? TALK TO GOD Tell God how great and powerful He is.

Some people have been surprised to discover something new about a friend they thought they knew well. That’s one of the exciting things about a relationship with Christ: there’s no limit to the things we can learn about him. Reading Colossians is one way we can discover a few more things about Jesus and learn how we can honor him. Who wrote this book and to whom was it written? While under house arrest in Rome, the apostle Paul wrote to believers in the small city of Colosse, located in the southwest interior of what is now Turkey. When was it written? About A.D. 60 to 62, during the time Paul awaited trial on an appeal to the Roman emperor Nero. Why was it written? A group called Gnostics (derived from the word for knowledge) claimed that they possessed privileged supernatural knowledge necessary for salvation.

  • Faith @ Work Metropolitan Baptist Church 40 Days of Power Lenten Devotional 2017
    Faith @ Work Metropolitan Baptist Church 40 Days of Power Lenten Devotional 2017 Dr. Maurice Watson, Senior Servant An Overview of Lent By Shirley Jackson, President Metropolitan PUSH Ministry What is Lent? Lent is a 40-day season of purposeful focus on prayer and fasting to draw us closer to God. A time to cleanse ourselves of unhealthy habits, relationships, and unforgiveness that block our blessings. A time to re-evaluate and redirect our use of time, talents, spiritual gifts, and service. A time to be more inten- tional. When is Lent? Lent is forty days before Easter, excluding Sundays. Sundays are excluded because every Sunday is like a little Easter and 40 days is like a tithe of one’s time, or one-tenth of a year. Lent always begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Holy Saturday, the day before Easter. Lent this year is March 1 - April 15, Display featuring a crown of thorns and cross with purple cloth 2017. heralds the beginning of Lent. Photo Credit: Kathleen Barry. United Methodist Communications. The People of the UMC. Why Should I Participate in Lent? Are you satisfied with every aspect of your Christian life? Are you living a fulfilled life of purpose, passion, and direction? Are you satisfied with your relationships at work, at home, among friends, and family? Are you using your gifts and talents to build up the body of Christ? Are you sensing that God wants you to do more or something different? God has a plan for your life. Are you on God’s plan? Do you fill the emptiness inside with mindless activities, TV, excessive eating, drinking, and unhealthy relationships? Our lives are filled with distractions and frustrations that take our focus away from God.
