The Two Miracles

Summary

The sermon discusses three major periods in biblical history when public miracles were performed: during Moses' time, Elijah and Elisha's ministry, and the time of Jesus and the apostles. It emphasizes that miracles were performed by God's power through chosen individuals, not by human power alone, and that the era of public miracles has largely phased out after the apostolic age. The preacher contrasts two miracles from the Gospels involving Jairus, a synagogue ruler, and an unnamed woman with a long-term illness, highlighting their faith and the power of Jesus to heal. The message encourages faith, perseverance, and reliance on Jesus as the one mediator between God and humanity.
