Knowing God: God is Our Power – Season 2, Episode 18

October 5, 2023 • 15 min

Notes:

God possesses immense and unmatched power. His power is not just a distant force but a dynamic and ever-present reality in our lives. When we think about God’s power, we’re drawn to the enormity of His creative abilities. However, God’s power isn’t limited to creation alone; it’s an active force that continues to sustain and interact with His creation. His power is deeply personal, as he desires to be intimately involved in the details of our individual journeys.

In this episode, Ross O’Hair and Jamie Pyles discuss the significance of God’s power and emphasize the importance of believers relying on God as their power source. As we depend on His power, our lives become a canvas for His glory to shine through, and our actions, no matter how seemingly insignificant, become vessels through which His extraordinary power is revealed to the world.
