In receiving a miracle through the power of God a connection must be made. If we don't do something we believe or that God has commanded us too (in the Gospels the things that Jesus said to do) a connection is never made and power won't flow to us. BUT, is the same true of receiving a miracle, healing, etc. through authority? We find out as we look to the two fish harvest Jesus did with Peter and other disciples.

Since connection is one of the most important factors to get the power of God to flow to us, how did Jesus establish a connect with those needing healing when He never touched them? Wireless charging is a great new feature for cell phones, but it is not new to God!

Looking at the paralytic who was let down through the roof to Jesus we see both authority and power put to use by Jesus. This gives us a great opportunity to see how each is intended to be used and the differences between them.

Does it take authority or power to move a mountain? The passage in Mark 11 tells us exactly what it takes, and we see it, it will also be easier for us to discern between the two in other descriptions of miracles in the Bible.

Why was a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes" lying in a manger a sign to the shepherds? That's what the angels said and it seemed like it was to them, but why? The answer will shed much light on just how incredible the birth of Jesus was!

PLEASE NOTE: The first 5 minutes are real tough to hear, as there was a problem with the sound feeding the recording. It was fixed around the 5 minute mark and the rest sounded fine. I could not salvage the praise reports at the end though.

Too many Christians don't understand the difference between power and authority. Jesus sometimes healed people with "power" (Luke 6:19 "And the whole multitude sought to touch Him, for power went out from Him and healed them all.") and other times authority was used (Mathew 10:1.) So, how can we know which to use and understand more the proper use of both? This is the first service as we delve into this topic.
