Sermon Reflections: Anticipating Miracles of Provision
Date: 5th November 2023
Speaker: Lead Pastor: Tammy Long
Sermon Texts: Philippians 4:10-20
This message continues the sermon mini-series called Anticipating Miracles. We are defining miracles as any moment we see God’s hand or a divine intervention. This applies whether it is supernatural in the purest sense, or God’s orchestration of events or circumstances with God’s fingerprints all over it. We explored the first miracle by Jesus at the wedding of Cana. Your posture for anticipating miracles should include (1) Make your request known, release worry, and leave it in God’s hands. (2) Remember God has a master plan, and it is always about the Will of the God the Father. (3) Accept that God’s timing is not our timing, but worth the wait. (4) Tell the Story of God’s miracles and give God all the praise. (5) Recognize that God can be trusted; strengthen and deepen your faith in God.  In anticipating miracles in the Kingdom of God, We have the rhythm of provision in anticipating miracles of provision. We keep our focus on Jesus and trust that Jesus will provide. We can be generous as God leads us, because we know that God has us and can be trusted. God receives our generosity as an act of worship and trust. God provides generously from God’s glorious riches. In this message, we each had time to share a short testimony about God providing and giving God all the praise. We are learning to see God’s hand in our day to day living. More details on the testimonies and analysis of Philippians 4:10-20 can be viewed on the video of this week’s message. The provision of God does not have to be big. Here are the questions we answer in order to share a brief testimony about miracles of provision. (1) When did it happen? (2) Where did it happen? (3) Who was involved? (4) What happened? (5)What did you do next in response? We are learning to see God’s hand in our day to day lives, so we can learn to trust God more and more.
