Do Miracles Still Happen Today? | Acts 2:1-4 Sermon

From YouTube

Description

Yes. The Spirit that filled the room at Pentecost is not locked in the first century, and the real problem is not whether we believe in miracles but that we believe God can and don't expect God to. 79% of Americans say they believe in miracles. Then Monday comes, and we plan our lives as if God probably won't show up. Not for us. Not right now. Pastor Kaloma Smith of UAMEZ Church in Palo Alto asks what would change if you stopped hedging. This message is for anyone whose first move after a hard diagnosis is Google, not prayer. For anyone working 60 hours a week because, deep down, it all depends on them. For anyone who calls it luck when God moves. Chapters 0:00 Do you really believe?
