Do Miracles Still Happen?

From YouTube

Description

In a place where we trust our degrees, our jobs and our five-year plans more than God, it is fair to ask whether miracles still happen. Elijah stood alone against 450 prophets of Baal and expected God to answer with fire, and God did. Pastor Smith says our expectation of God grows as our relationship with him grows, and God responds to people who trust him enough to act. In this sermon, preached in January 2024 in the Reset series, Pastor Kaloma Smith of UAMEZ Church in Palo Alto, California preaches on 1 Kings 18 and challenges believers to reset what they expect God to do. Questions this sermon answers Do miracles still happen today? Pastor Smith says yes, and he describes seeing God heal people and bring financial breakthroughs. What does limping between two opinions mean? In 1 Kings 18:21 Elijah calls out people who keep one foot with God and one foot somewhere else, like praying on Monday and trusting only your bank account on Tuesday. How do you build confidence in God? By walking with him over time, because faith that expects miracles is built by years of seeing what God can do. What is a miracle? His working definition is God giving exponential results for human action, the way the Red Sea opened when Moses showed up.
