Sunday Podcast 176 with Michael W Smith 032926
Summary
Bro Mike teaches about the Greek word ‘thomazo,’ meaning to be stunned or shocked, which was used only twice to describe Jesus’ reaction during His ministry. The first instance was in His hometown of Nazareth where people rejected Him due to familiarity, and the second was when a Roman centurion demonstrated extraordinary faith by understanding spiritual authority. The centurion recognized that just as he operated under military authority, Jesus had authority over the spiritual realm and could heal his servant with just a word. Pastor Mike emphasizes that believers have been given this same authority through Christ and challenges listeners to step into their miracle ministry rather than making excuses or taking God’s power for granted.
Intro Prayer
Heavenly Father, we come before You today with open hearts and minds, ready to receive what You want to teach us through Your Word. We ask that You would remove any doubt, unbelief, or familiarity that might hinder us from seeing You clearly. Help us to approach You with the same childlike faith and wonder that pleases You. Open our spiritual eyes to understand the authority You have given us through Christ, and give us the courage to step into all that You have prepared for us. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Ice Breaker
What’s something that never fails to amaze you or leave you speechless, no matter how many times you experience it?
