Sermon Notes:

“It should come as no surprise that the God who supernaturally created the universe should choose at times to supernaturally intervene in it.” — John MacArthur

Miracles are not UNNATURAL but are glimpses of NATURE RESTORED —momentary REVERSALS of the CURSE, revealing how all things will one day be MADE NEW in Christ.

Romans 8:20-21 // Isaiah 35:5-6

1. God allows the gift of HIS POWER to flow through FLAWED MEN in order to magnify His GRACE and GLORY.

Luke 22:31-32 // 2 Corinthians 4:7

2. God SOMETIMES miraculously HEALS at our request simply to demonstrate His FATHERLY CARE.

Matthew 7:7-11 // Psalm 103:13

3. God OFTEN WITHHOLDS miraculous healing because His PLAN is BETTER: for us to EMBRACE SUFFERING in FAITH, knowing that disease and death will soon be VANQUISHED.

2 Corinthians 12:7-10 // 1 Peter 1:3-7

4. WHENEVER God performs a physical miracle, it is ALWAYS for the ultimate purpose of the greatest miracle: SAVING FAITH in Jesus Christ.

Mark 2:1-12 // John 20:30-31
