Miraculous!: The Authority of the Father’s Blessing

Before Jesus performed a miracle, preached a sermon, or even called a disciple, He received something from His Father: a blessing.

At His baptism, Heaven opened, the Spirit descended, and the Father declared, “This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy” (Matthew 3:16–17).

Jesus didn’t earn His identity, He received it. From that place of security came authority. As He began His ministry, people were amazed and said, “What sort of new teaching is this?... It has such authority!” (Mark 1:27).

Through Christ, we are invited into that same relationship with the Father. “As many as received Him, He gave to them authority to become children of God” (John 1:12).

The Miracle of God being my Father means:

1. I can have an invincible IDENTITY.

Many believed in Jesus because of His miracles, but He did not entrust Himself to them because He knew what was in the human heart (John 2:23–25).

Jesus wasn’t controlled by people’s opinions because His identity was already settled by His Father. When we know who we are in Christ, we stop chasing the approval of others.

2. I can resist TEMPTATION.

After His baptism, Jesus was tempted by the devil: “If You are the Son of God...” (Matthew 4:1–3).

The enemy attacked the very identity the Father had just affirmed. But Jesus responded with God’s Word: “People do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4).

When our identity is rooted in what God says, temptation loses much of its power.

3. I can have power over circumstances.

When a violent storm threatened the disciples, Jesus commanded, “Silence! Be still!” (Mark 4:37–41), and the storm obeyed.

Yet the same Jesus surrendered Himself to the Father, saying, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” (Luke 23:46).

True authority isn’t found in controlling everything around us, it’s found in trusting the One who is in control.

When God is your Father, your identity is secure, your temptations can be overcome, and your circumstances no longer have the final say.

Controversial thought: The world is NOT the way God wants it to be.

Pastor Elisha spoke last Sunday about how God is still in the business of healing today.

Miraculous!: Everyone, Everything, Everywhere

The Gospels are filled with stories of people bringing Jesus their pain, sickness, brokenness, and hopelessness—and He never seemed bothered by the interruption.

"A vast crowd brought to Him people who were lame, blind, crippled... and he healed them all." (Matthew 15:30)

Not some. Not the most deserving. Not the people who had everything together.

All.

Acts describes Jesus as someone who "went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed" (Acts 10:38). Everywhere He went, lives were changed because His love reached into every part of a person's story.

And while we don't yet see the whole picture, Scripture reminds us that one day we will:
"Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete..." (1 Corinthians 13:9-10)

Until then, faith, hope, and love remain. And "the greatest of these is love." (1 Corinthians 13:13)

The Miraculous Love of Jesus Proves...

1. My Body Matters to God.

"Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit." (1 Corinthians 6:19)

People brought Jesus every kind of illness, pain, and physical struggle imaginable, "and He healed them." (Matthew 4:24)

Your physical needs are not insignificant to God. He cares about the whole person.

2. My Mind and Emotions Have Hope.

The man once controlled by demons was later found "dressed and in his right mind." (Mark 5:15)

And Scripture reminds us:
"God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." (2 Timothy 1:7)

Jesus doesn't just bring healing to bodies. He brings peace where there has been chaos and hope where there has been despair.

3. My Spirit Has a Future.

When a paralyzed man was brought to Jesus, He addressed something deeper than physical healing:
"Your sins are forgiven." (Matthew 9:5-6)

Then He healed the man's body to prove He had authority to heal his soul.

The greatest miracle Jesus offers isn't simply a better life today—it's a restored relationship with God and the promise of eternal life.

The love of Jesus reaches every part of who we are: body, mind, and spirit. How Miraculous!

The Resurrection Revolution: Life On Mission

One of the biggest lies we believe is that our lives are random.

But Scripture paints a completely different picture.

“Before I made you in your mother’s womb, I chose you.” (Jeremiah 1:5)

Before you were born, God already had purpose in mind for your life. And Jesus makes it even clearer in John 17:
“In the same way that you gave me a mission in the world, I give them a mission in the world.” (John 17:18)

Every follower of Jesus has been put here for a purpose. The question is whether we’ll live distracted or live on mission.

TO LIVE MY LIFE ON MISSION...

1. AVOID ALL DISTRACTIONS.

“Anyone who lets himself be distracted from the work I plan for him is not fit for the Kingdom of God.” (Luke 9:62)

“Only those who throw away their lives for my sake... will ever know what it means to really live!” (Mark 8:35)

It’s easy to spend our lives chasing comfort, approval, success, or things that ultimately don’t last. Jesus reminds us that real life is found when we stop living only for ourselves and start living for Him.

2. ACCEPT GOD’S PURPOSE.

“Give yourselves completely to God... to be used for His good purposes.” (Romans 6:13)

“This is the wonderful message he has given us to tell others.” (2 Corinthians 5:19)

God doesn’t just save us from something — He saves us for something. We are part of His mission of bringing hope, reconciliation, and the Gospel into the world around us.

3. ANTICIPATE GOD’S PRESENCE.

“Go wherever I send you... for I will be with you.” (Jeremiah 1:7–8)

“As the Father has sent me, I am sending you... Receive the Holy Spirit.” (John 20:21–22)

“Here am I. Send me!” (Isaiah 6:8)

The good news is we don’t carry this mission alone. The same Holy Spirit who empowered the early Church still leads, strengthens, and goes with us today.

You were created on purpose.
You were saved for a purpose.
And God still sends ordinary people to change the world around them.

The Resurrection Revolution: The End of The Revolution?

At the end of Acts, we see Paul's truth: his life was centered on eternity with Jesus. He faced prison, rejection, suffering, and constant opposition, but his hope never shifted because his confidence wasn’t in this world lasting forever. Acts says:
“God... now commands everyone everywhere to repent... and he proved to everyone who [Jesus] is by raising him from the dead.” (Acts 17:30–31)

The resurrection wasn’t just proof that Jesus was alive. It was the promise that death would not have the final word. That’s why Paul could boldly say:
“I am on trial because my hope is in the resurrection of the dead!” (Acts 23:6) His eyes were fixed on eternity with Christ and the restoration of all things.

Romans reminds us:
“What we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later.” (Romans 8:18)

Creation itself is waiting for the day death and decay are finally undone (Romans 8:19–21).

That kind of hope changes how we live now.

Crossing the Finish Line Means I...

1. FIX MY EYES ON JESUS’ LIFE.

“Let us run with perseverance... fixing our eyes on Jesus.” (Hebrews 12:1–2)
“Run in such a way as to get the prize.” (1 Corinthians 9:24)

Paul knew distractions could easily pull us away from Jesus. The goal was never worldly comfort or success here — it was staying close to Jesus all the way to the finish line.

2. LET GO OF THE WORLD’S PROPAGANDA.

“Everything else is worthless compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.” (Philippians 3:8–9)
“I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead.” (Philippians 3:10–11)

After meeting Jesus, nothing else compared for Paul. More than status or recognition, his greatest desire was simply to know Christ and one day be with Him forever.

3. FOCUS ON FINISHING FAITHFULLY.

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” (2 Timothy 4:6–8)

In the end, Paul wasn’t clinging to this world. He was looking forward to seeing Jesus.

That's resurrection hope.
Not just surviving this life, but living with eternity in mind and finishing faithfully with our eyes fixed on Jesus.

"His love is actually bigger than anything we hate about ourselves." Let that sink in.

If you've been feeling powerless or caught up in just going through the motions, remember that the Resurrection is alive and moving today!
