Laughing with God at The Impossible

Preacher:
Passage: Ephesians 3:20 (The Message)
Service Type:

Kevin delivered a sermon based on Ephesians 3:20, focusing on God’s power to do “far more than we could ever imagine, or guess, or request in our wildest dreams.” He explained that Paul’s use of hyperbole in describing God’s power is meant to convey something indescribable and beyond human comprehension, emphasizing Paul’s confidence in God’s all-powerfulness. Kevin reflected on how his own experiences with God’s power are like “old wineskins” that limit his understanding of God’s full capabilities, suggesting that people struggle to believe in God’s ability to do extraordinary things because they haven’t asked for such things or imagined them beyond their practical expectations. He used the example of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to illustrate how people typically don’t request the maximum possible from available resources, applying this concept to prayer and suggesting that God might find people’s prayers limited because they haven’t asked for the extraordinary. Kevin concluded by referencing the story of the father who brought his possessed son to Jesus, saying “Help my unbelief” when asked if Jesus could do anything, and encouraged the congregation to pray for help believing in God’s power to do far more than they can imagine through their church.
