Faith LINK

“CELEBRATE

AMERICA”

Today we honor Amer ica and our founding fathers whose dreams for our countr y were rooted in faith and the pr inciples of liber ty for all

The Declaration of Independence reads, in par t, as follows:

“We hold these tr uths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are e n d owe d by t h e i r C r e a t o r w i t h c e r t a i n unalienable r ights; that among these are life, liber ty and the pursuit of happiness ”

They did so at a great pr ice Here are just a few examples among the 56 who signed this histor ic document Five signers were captured by the Br itish as traitors and were tor tured to death Two lost their sons who ser ved in the Revolutionar y Ar my Another had two sons who were captured Nine of them fought and died from wounds or hardships of the Revolutionar y War

What does this say to us today? It says the freedoms we enjoy must never be taken for granted It says Amer ica is at her best when we are united in faith, hope and love It says we must live with the same concer n for justice and equality which mar ked our nation’s bir th

Let us pray the prayer our Lord gave to Solomon after the Dedication of the Temple:

“‘If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and tur n from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land’” (2 Chronicles 7:14)

Prayer: Dear Lord, we pray this prayer for our nation In Your strong name Amen.

Does God still do miracles today? There are biblical miracles‐ parting the sea, healing the blind, multiplying bread and fish, and Jesus raising his friend, Lazarus, from the dead There are historical miracles‐ revivals in all sorts of places where thousands of people would come to faith and many of them get healed But does God still have the potency to do miracles today? Or has he gotten old and decided to retire to a condo in Florida to talk about the good ol’ days when he used to have the power to do some really cool stuff like raise the dead, part the sea, make the lame walk again, you know, cool stuff like that Does God still have the goods, the power to do miracles today? If God still does miracles, what miracle would you ask for today? God save my marriage, help me to find a meaningful job, rescue me from this depression, or heal this illness Maybe you feel desperate for God to do a miracle Let me introduce you to a desperate man who needed a miracle In Mark 9:15‐29, we encounter a desperate dad whose son is in a bad way The boy was experiencing physical, mental, and spiritual torment And the dad can’t do anything to help his sick son Some of you know what it feels like to watch someone you love suffer and you can’t do anything to stop or slow the suffering That’s how the dad in Mark 9 felt

Jesus said to the dad words that, in my opinion, we 21st century Americans especially need to hear Jesus said, “everything is possible for him who believes” (Mark 9:23) Jesus is suggesting that there is no dire circumstance, no hopeless situation, no impossibility that God cannot make possible! Jesus didn’t say “everything is possible for him who can think his way through the situation, or who can work his way out of the bind he is in ” Jesus is saying, “if you believe in God so much so that you have placed your life squarely and confidently in his hands, then you will never ever find yourself in a situation in which it is impossible for Him to do a miracle ”

It seems to me that it is better to live with faith that God has the power to do anything than to live plagued by doubt that God can do anything at all Christians, let’s live as if we believe our God is potent not impotent; let’s live as if we believe that, at any moment, Christ can come on the scene of your situation and do a miracle It might not be the miracle you want, but it might be the miracle you need Keep taking your crisis to Christ! I have bible verses and 80’s song lyrics running through my mind constantly (If there’s an 80’s music recovery group somewhere, let me know) I can hear Journey echoing Jesus’ words to this desperate dad‐ “don’t stop believin’” that God has the power to anything anytime anywhere for anyone who trusts in Him

See you Sunday at 10:40! Pastor Lenny Luchetti
