A Dedicated Life - Overcoming (notes)

A Dedicated Life - Overcoming

The Gospel

• Of Jesus Christ is the power of God unto salvation.
• Romans 1:16 “I am not ashamed of the Gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation…”

The Power of God

• Is all powerful and has all the power to do what He has already said in His Word.
• Will always do what is in line with His nature and His word.
• Is released through His church / His people.
• Is unleashed by faith working through love.

God Does Not Have To Impress Anyone

He can demonstrate His power any time He wants to anyone He chooses.

But when God moves because of His mercy it is because He hears the cries of His children.

(Example of Israel in slavery)
