This week we will be looking into Jesus the miracle worker. This quote by Billy Graham sets the scene for Simon’s talk.

“Jesus performed miracles not to entertain, but to reveal who He was — the Son of God with power over sickness, sin, and death.” – Billy Graham.

In our passage this week, two desperate people come to Jesus in faith and discover that His power reaches even the most hopeless situations. As Billy Graham once observed: “When we come to Christ in faith, even the most hopeless situation can be transformed by His power.”

The beauty of creation constantly reminds us of the greatness of its Creator. As Billy Graham once said: “Just as the stars shine brightest in the darkest night, God’s creation reminds us of His glory even in a troubled world.”

This week, please pray for a peaceful resolution of the current crisis in the Middle East.

If you are feeling a little down this week, then be inspired by this reminder from Billy Graham:

“God never takes away something from your life without replacing it with something better.”

Never forget – the best is yet to come!

Here is a great verse to make you smile when you are faced with your least favourite household chore: “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving (Colossians 3:23).

Or as D L Moody reminds us: “Serve God by doing common actions in a heavenly spirit.” D L Moody
