Day 1- JESUS CALMS THE STORM
Read Matthew 8:23-27
What did Jesus do? What does this tell you about God’s power?
God can calm any storm… even the ones in your own life. You just have to have faith that He can do it. Have you seen Jesus calm a storm in your life?
Read Philippians 4:6-7
What should you do when you face a storm in life? What does God give you?
Do you go to Jesus for help with storms?
DIG DEEPER
God has control over creation. He can use creation to do His will. Read how God literally lengthened the day to help Joshua do something He asked him to do. Read Joshua 10:12-14.
Day 2- JESUS WALKS ON WATER
Read Matthew 14:22-33
What miracle did Jesus do? Who did Jesus invite to walk on water with Him?
How did Peter respond? What was he able to do? Why did Peter sink?
Jesus can do the impossible and He will ask you to do the impossible. Peter probably thought Jesus was crazy for asking him to walk on water. He had enough faith that Jesus would help him, so he stepped out of the boat. Peter actually walked on water until he took his eyes off of Jesus and looked around Him. God can do the impossible through you. You will be amazed the things you will get to do because of your faith in Him. But you must also keep your eyes on Him. The moment you take your eyes off and look at the circumstances around you, you will fail. Eyes on Him… you can never fail.
Day 3- LOOK UP AND HAVE FAITH
Peter had to have faith to step out of that boat.
To continue walking on water, he had to keep his eyes on Jesus.
Read Colossians 3:2
Do you have faith God can do the impossible in you? How can you keep your eyes focused on Him? How can you practice taking your eyes off earthly things?
Day 4- RAISED LAZARUS FROM THE DEAD
Read John 11:1-45
What happened to Lazarus? What did Jesus do for Lazarus?
Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead to show that He has power over death.
Read John 11:25-26
What does Jesus tell His disciples and Lazarus’ sisters here?
Do you believe that when you die on earth you are still alive?
Jesus makes it clear that death of your earthly body isn’t really death. Jesus is about to go to the cross, die, and resurrect. He uses this miracle to show that He can defeat death.
Read John 11:43-44
What did Jesus tell Lazarus to take off?
Lazarus was alive. He no longer needed to be wrapped in his nasty grave clothes.
Read Ephesians 4:22-24
What are you to throw off? What are you to put on?
When you believe in Jesus, you are alive in Christ. You are no longer dead in sin. God wants you to get rid of your grave clothes… your sinful ways. Put on your new self that is now in Christ. Are you still living in your old sinful ways? How can you put on your new self in Christ?
Day 5- CONSIDER, PRAY AND PRAISE
God is a God of miracles. In the next coming months you are going to learn about His greatest miracle… resurrecting from the dead to give you life. Go back through this past month and write down below the things that you have learned about Jesus.
How can you apply what you have learned to your life?
Take time to thank Him for who He is today!
