Topic: The Omnipotent God

Text: Isaiah 43:8-13

8Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.

9Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth.

10Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

11I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.

12I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God.

13Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?

Key Verse: “I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no Saviour” (Isaiah 43:11).

Message

A boy travelling by air to visit his grandparents sat beside a man who was a seminary professor. The boy was reading a Sunday school magazine, and the professor thought to engage him. “Young man,” said the professor, “if you can tell me something God can do, I will give you a big, shiny apple.” The boy thought for a moment and then replied, “Sir, if you can tell me something God can’t do, I’ll give you a whole barrel of apples!”
In our text idolaters are called to stand in defense of their idols – blind though with eyes and deaf, though with ears – to let them know that our God is incomparable in greatness. He saves and delivers and none can reverse His work – He is all powerful. Matt Chandler rightly says that, “Trying to figure out God is like trying to catch a fish in the Pacific Ocean with an inch of dental floss.” Believers are admonished to trust in God with all their hearts as there is nothing too hard for Him to do for His obedient children.

GOSPEL REALM: STEPS TO SALVATION
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
