WONDERS, SIGNS, MIRACLES—GOD OF THE IMPOSSIBLE
By Frank Eiklor and Cecilia Contreras
LESSON 18 (Part 3)
INTRODUCTION
Even a brief study of the universe—its size and complexity—leaves one speechless except for four words, “What an awesome God!” But God has left us with more than the celestial proof of His power—He has also given men signs, wonders and miracles on planet earth that prove that He alone is God and there is no other.
I have discovered at least 140 miraculous proofs of God’s power in the Old Testament alone. We have studied 70 of these wonders in Parts 1 and 2. Now we view 35 more. And remember, this incredible God of power—Father, Son and Holy Spirit—is also the one who loves and sustains you—and who calls for your love and worship. What a privilege is ours!
