Series: The Miracles of Jesus

The miracles of Jesus are one of the best places to start if you want to understand why and how God performs miracles.

How do you feel about miracles? For some believers, miracles are welcome signs of God’s presence, but for others, miracles can be more challenging. How do we understand those times when God seems to intervene in the natural order of life?

Jesus’s miracles are simultaneously seeds of belief, planted in our hearts to grow into a living faith, and expressions of God’s character, enacted by Jesus because he did what his Father, God, is doing. They help our faith, and they show us Jesus’s unity with the Father.

This 16-day series will take you through the miracles of Jesus found in all four gospels. As you read, reflect on God’s loving care and presence in your life, and in this world.
