Miracle Sunday | The Book of Mark | Pastor Miles McPherson

Main message: God still does miracles, but to receive them we must cultivate expectant faith and align our hearts and actions with God's purposes — forgiving others, rejecting doubt, and listening for God's voice.

Key points:

• Expect miracles as God transcends natural laws, but the miracle God gives may advance His mission more than simply satisfy personal wants.
• Stop cursing/holding grudges against enemies and start releasing forgiveness and blessing them — unforgiveness blocks blessing and burdens you.
• Stop praying through Satan’s lies and small thinking; replace those lies with biblical truths and pray with faith in God’s faithfulness.
• Stop only reading Scripture as information and start listening for God’s voice in the Word so it directs your decisions and perseveres you through trials (parable of the sower applied).
• Faith requires action: pursue practical steps (apply for jobs, reconcile where needed, respond to God’s prompting) and persist in prayer without losing heart.
