God Is All-Powerful
Section 1: God Week 1: God Is Great Day 4: God Is All-Powerful Eph. 3:14-20 Theologians like to say God is omnipotent. That’s just a fancy way of saying God is all-powerful. Oddly, when we say that, we don’t actually mean he can do absolutely everything. There are, in fact, certain things God can’t do. He cannot lie, for example (Titus 1:2).

The question is: are our ideas about God accurate? That’s a particularly important question for Christians. We love and serve God. At some point though, if our view of God sufficiently misses the mark, we’re really loving and serving another god. That’s not a matter to take lightly. So…
