This week Bro. Leo leads us on a study of faith by asking the question “Do you believe the miracles written about in the Bible?”

Every one of us who are saved believe that we could not save our-self and that only God has the power to save us (Luke 18-27).

In John 20:30 the word “signs” is translated from the Greek word “sēmeion” which means miracle with an ethical end and purpose,  valued in what they indicate of the power of the doer has done,  the doer has an immediate connection with the higher spiritual world and power.

The word “sēmeion” is used in the Bible to describe the ones who performed miracles so that we would know that they all were connected to God.  We, as the Church today, have that same connection with God via prayer.  God’s miraculous powers are available to us today, the question is do we have faith those powers and do we illustrate our faith in those powers in our prayers?

Scriptures used in today’s study:
