When you believe, you can do anything. This concept is heard everywhere, but it was solidified by the teachings of Jesus. He said that we could move mountains if we had faith.

2. Hebrews 6:1-3 (NIV)
Therefore let us leave the elementary
teachings about Christ and go on to
maturity, not laying again the
foundation of repentance from acts
that lead to death, and of faith in God,
instruction about baptisms, the laying
on of hands, the resurrection of the
dead, and eternal judgment.
And God permitting, we will do so.

something that can't be seen
is true. Faith is like being
pregnant: either you have it
or you don’t.
R1: Hebrews 11:1 and Matthew 17:20

7. Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the assurance of
things we hope for, the certainty of things we
cannot see. Matthew 17:20 He said to them,
"Because of your lack of faith. For truly, I say
to you, if you have faith like a grain of mustard
seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move
from here to there,' and it will move, and
nothing will be impossible for you.”

that happen. They come from
faith.
R2: John 14:11,12

10. John 14:11 Believe me, I am in the Father and
the Father is in me. Otherwise, believe me
because of the works themselves. "Truly, truly I
tell you, the one who believes in me will also
do the works that I am doing. He will do even
greater works than these because I am going
to the Father.

believe in God and His Son,
Jesus Christ.
R3: John 4:47-53

13. John 4:47-53 When this man heard that Jesus had
come from Judea to Galilee, he went to him and
asked him to come down and heal his son, for he
was at the point of death. So Jesus said to him,
"Unless you see signs and wonders you will not
believe." The official said to him, "Sir, come down
before my child dies." Jesus said to him, "Go; your
son will live." The man believed the word that
Jesus spoke to him and went on his way. As he was
going down, his servants met him and told him
that his son was recovering. So he asked them the
hour when he began to get better, and they said to
him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left
him." The father knew that was the hour when
Jesus had said to him, "Your son will live." And he
himself believed, and all his household.

14. Q4:
Who did miracles in the
Old Testament?

explained dreams. Moses
brought the plagues. Elijah
called down fire. Elisha raised
the dead. Many miracles.
R4: 2 Kings 4:31-35

16. 2 Kings 4:31-35 Gehazi went on ahead and laid the
staff on the face of the child, but there was no
sound or sign of life. Therefore he returned to
meet him and told him, "The child has not
awakened." When Elisha came into the house, he
saw the child lying dead on his bed. So he went in
and shut the door behind the two of them and
prayed to the LORD. Then he went up and lay on
the child, putting his mouth on his mouth, his eyes
on his eyes, and his hands on his hands. And as he
stretched himself upon him, the flesh of the child
became warm. Then he got up again and walked
once back and forth in the house, and went up
and stretched himself upon him. The child
sneezed seven times, and the child opened his
eyes.

17. Q5:
Who was the greatest
miracle worker of all
time?

18. Q5: Who was the greatest miracle worker of all
time?
A5: Jesus. He turned water to
wine, healed the sick, lame,
blind and deaf, cast out demons,
fed thousands with a few scraps
of food, calmed the storm,
walked on water, brought the
dead back to life, and rose from
the dead.
R5: Mark 4:37-41 and Acts 2:22 and John 21:25

19. Mark 4:37-41 A violent windstorm came up, and
the waves began breaking into the boat, so
that the boat was rapidly becoming swamped.
But Jesus was in the back of the boat, asleep
on a cushion. So they woke him up and said to
him, "Teacher, don't you care that we're going
to die?" Then he got up, rebuked the wind, and
said to the sea, "Hush! Be still!" Then the wind
stopped blowing, and there was a great calm.
He said to them, "Why are you such cowards?
Don't you have any faith yet?" They were
overcome with fear and kept saying to one
another, "Who is this man? Even the wind and
the sea obey him!”

20. Acts 2:22 "Fellow Israelites, listen to these words!
Jesus from Nazareth was a man accredited to
you by God through miracles, wonders, and
signs that God performed through him among
you, as you yourselves know.

things, and I suppose that if every one of them
were written down the world couldn't contain
the books that would be written.

21. Q6:
Could anything stop Jesus
from doing miracles?

22. Q6: Could anything stop Jesus from doing
miracles?
A6: Yes, unbelief. When
people didn't believe, they
didn't see miracles.
R6: Matthew 13:54-58 and Mark 6:5

23. Matthew 13:54-58 He went to his hometown
and began teaching the people in their
synagogue in such a way that they were
amazed and said, "Where did this man get
this wisdom and these miracles? This is the
builder's son, isn't it? His mother is named
Mary, isn't she? His brothers are James,
Joseph, Simon, and Judas, aren't they? And
his sisters are all with us, aren't they? So
where did this man get all these things?" And
they were offended by him. But Jesus told
them, "A prophet is without honor only in his
hometown and in his own home." He did not
perform many miracles there because of their
unbelief.

24. Mark 6:5,6 He couldn't perform a miracle there
except to lay his hands on a few sick people
and heal them. He was utterly amazed at
their unbelief. Then he went around to the
villages and continued teaching.

25. Q7:
Who did miracles, signs
and wonders after Jesus
went up to heaven?

26. Q7: Who did miracles, signs and wonders
after Jesus went up to heaven?
A7: Peter, John, and Paul -
the 12 Apostles performed
miracles after Jesus
ascended to Heaven.
R7: Acts 3:1-8 and 2 Corinthians 12:12

27. Acts 3:1-8 Peter and John were going up to the temple for
the hour of prayer at three in the afternoon. Now a
man who had been crippled from birth was being
carried in. Every day people would lay him at what was
called the Beautiful Gate so that he could beg from
those who were going into the temple. When he saw
that Peter and John were about to go into the temple,
he asked them to give him something. Peter, along with
John, looked him straight in the eye and said, "Look at
us!" So the man watched them closely, expecting to get
something from them. However, Peter said, "I don't
have any silver or gold, but I'll give you what I do have.
In the name of Jesus Christ from Nazareth, walk!" Then
Peter took hold of his right hand and began to help him
up. Immediately his feet and ankles became strong,
and he sprung to his feet, stood up, and began to walk.
Then he went with them into the temple, walking,
jumping, and praising God.

28. 2 Corinthians 12:12 The signs of a true apostle
were performed among you with utmost
patience, with signs and wonders and mighty
works.

29. Q8:
Besides Jesus, did only the
12 Apostles do signs and
wonders?

30. Q8: Besides Jesus, did only the 12 Apostles do
signs and wonders?
A8: The Apostles weren't the
only ones who did miracles,
signs and wonders - the 72
that Jesus sent, Stephen, and
other disciples also did
miracles.
R8: Luke 10:1-21 and Acts 6:8 and Acts 14:3

31. Luke 10:1-21 After this, the Lord appointed seventy other
disciples and sent them ahead of him in pairs to every town
and place that he intended to go. "Whenever you go into a
town and the people welcome you, eat whatever they serve
you, heal the sick that are there, and tell them, 'The kingdom
of God is near you!' The seventy came back and joyously
reported, "Lord, even the demons are submitting to us in your
name!" He said to them, "I was watching Satan fall from
heaven like lightning. Look! I have given you the authority to
trample snakes and scorpions and to destroy all the enemy's
power, and nothing will ever hurt you. However, stop rejoicing
because the spirits are submitting to you. Rather, rejoice
because your names are written in heaven." In that hour Jesus
was extremely joyful in the Holy Spirit and said, "I praise you,
Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden
these things from wise and intelligent people and have
revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, for this is what was
pleasing to you.

32. Act 6:8 And Stephen, full of grace and power, was doing great
wonders and signs among the people.
Act 14:3 So they (Paul, Barnabas, and other disciples) remained
for a long time, speaking boldly for the Lord, who bore witness
to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be
done by their hands. .

33. Q9:
Who can do greater
works than Jesus?

34. Q9: Who can do greater works than Jesus?
A9: Jesus said that those
who believe in Him will be
doing even greater
miracles than He did.
R9: John 14:11-14 and Mark 16:17-18

35. John 14:11-14 Believe me that I am in the
Father and the Father is in me, or else believe
on account of the works themselves. "Truly,
truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will
also do the works that I do; and greater works
than these will he do, because I am going to
the Father. Whatever you ask in my name,
this I will do, that the Father may be glorified
in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name,
I will do it.

36. Mark 16:17-18 And these signs will accompany
those who believe: in my name they will cast
out demons; they will speak in new tongues;
they will pick up serpents with their hands;
and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not
hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick,
and they will recover.”

37. Q10:
Can anyone do miracles?
Or do you need some
special ability?

38. Q10: Can anyone do miracles? Or do you
need some special ability?
A10: The ability to do
miracles first requires faith,
but then can be seen as a
gift from the Holy Spirit.
R10: I Corinthians 12:7-10,28-30

39. I Corinthians 12:7-10,28-30 To each is given the
manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to
one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom,
and to another the utterance of knowledge according
to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit,
to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another
the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to
another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to
another various kinds of tongues, to another the
interpretation of tongues. God has appointed in the
church first of all apostles, second prophets, third
teachers, then those who perform miracles, those who
have gifts of healing, those who help others,
administrators, and various kinds of tongues. Not all
are apostles, are they? Not all are prophets, are they?
Not all are teachers, are they? Not all perform miracles,
do they? Not all have the gift of healing, do they? Not
all speak in tongues, do they? Not all interpret, do
they?

40. Q11:
Where does the power to
do miracles, signs and
wonders come from?

41. Q11: Where does the power come from?
A11: God the Father in the
name of His Son, Jesus
Christ, does mighty works
to reveal His glory.
R11: Acts 4:29-31 and Colossians 3:17 and
Romans 4:20-25

42. Acts 4:29-31 Lord, pay attention to their threats
now, and allow your servants to speak your
word with all boldness as you stretch out your
hand to heal and to perform signs and
wonders through the name of your holy
servant Jesus." When they had prayed, the
place where they were meeting was shaken,
and all of them were filled with the Holy Spirit
and continued to speak the word of God with
boldness.
Colossians 3:17 And whatever you do, in word or
deed, do everything in the name of the Lord
Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through
him.

43. Romans 4:20-25 nor did he (Abraham) doubt
God's promise out of a lack of faith. Instead, he
became strong in faith and gave glory to God,
being absolutely convinced that God would do
what he had promised. This is why "it was
credited to him as righteousness." Now the
words "it was credited to him" were written
not only for him but also for us. Our faith will
be regarded in the same way, if we believe in
the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the
dead. He was handed over to death because of
our sins and was raised to life because of our
justification.

44. Q12:
As wonderful and
amazing as miracles are,
what is better?

45. Q12: As wonderful and amazing as miracles
are, what is better?
A12: Love is best. Miracles are
only signs to inspire others to
have faith in God. Most
people just use reason and
don't even need to see signs.
But, everyone needs to love
and to be loved.
R12: I Corinthian 13:3,13

46. I Corinthians 13:3,13
If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but
do not have love, I am only a resounding gong
or a clanging cymbal.
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all
mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a
faith that can move mountains, but do not
have love, I am nothing.
If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my
body to hardship that I may boast, but do not
have love, I gain nothing.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and
love. But the greatest of these is love.
