from Center Bethel Church Hosted by Center Bethel Church
Most of us pray to get God to fix our situation. What if prayer is meant to do something different?In the final message of our series, Who Is God?, Pastor Keith looks at two more attributes: God is omnipotent (all powerful) and immutable (He never changes). From the galaxies of Genesis 1 to Elijah’s prayers in James 5, this message asks how big your problem really is next to a God who made the stars by Himself, and what He might be waiting for us to ask.Pastor Keith teaches that prayer doesn’t change God, but aligns us with His will and heart, and that God’s power often works in accordance with what we ask and allow. Then he walks back through everything we’ve learned in this series about who God is, and closes in praise.Scripture: Ephesians ch.3 v.20 | Genesis ch.1 v.1 | Isaiah ch.44 v.24 | Psalm ch.146 v.6 | Ephesians ch.6 v.18 | Matthew 6 | James ch.5 vv.17-18 | Malachi ch.3 v.6In this message:• What omnipotent and immutable actually mean• Why a God who made the galaxies by Himself can handle your biggest problem• Why God tells us to pray even though He already knows what we need• How prayer aligns us with God’s will instead of telling God what to do• What Elijah’s prayers teach us about asking and believing• What God’s will looks like for salvation, discipleship, families, and the church• Why a God who never changes is good news for us• A closing review of who God is: loving, merciful, gracious, faithful, good, just, and righteous
