The Birth of Isaac (Genesis 21:2):
"Sarah became pregnant and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised him." The birth of Isaac is a profound testament to God's ability to fulfill His promises, regardless of human limitations. Despite Sarah's old age and previous barrenness, God performed a miracle, showing that His promises never fail.
The Parting of the Red Sea (Exodus 14:21):
"Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided." When the Israelites were trapped between the Red Sea and the pursuing Egyptian army, God made a way where there seemed to be no way. This miraculous parting of the Red Sea demonstrates that God's power can deliver us from even the most impossible situations.
The Conquest of Jericho (Joshua 6:20):
"When the trumpets sounded, the army shouted, and at the sound of the trumpet, when the men gave a loud shout, the wall collapsed; so everyone charged straight in, and they took the city." The fall of Jericho's walls, achieved through God's instructions and the faithfulness of His people, highlights that victory comes not by human might but by obedience to God's commands.
David's Victory over Goliath (1 Samuel 17:45):
"David said to the Philistine, 'You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.'" David's victory over Goliath is a powerful reminder that with God, even the seemingly weakest among us can overcome the greatest giants. This story encourages us to face our challenges with faith in God's strength.

The Resurrection of Lazarus (John 11:43-44):
"When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, 'Lazarus, come out!' The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face." Jesus' raising of Lazarus from the dead is one of the most profound demonstrations of God's power over life and death. It reminds us that God can bring life to what seems hopelessly lost.
The Conversion of Saul (Acts 9:20-21):
"At once he began to preach in the synagogues that Jesus is the Son of God. All those who heard him were astonished and asked, 'Isn’t he the man who raised havoc in Jerusalem among those who call on this name?'" Saul's dramatic conversion from a persecutor of Christians to a fervent apostle demonstrates that no one is beyond God's reach. God's transformative power can change even the hardest hearts.
The Promise of Eternal Life (Matthew 19:26):
"Jesus looked at them and said, 'With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.'" In the context of discussing salvation and eternal life, Jesus assures us that what is impossible for humans is possible with God. This promise extends to every area of our lives, reminding us to trust in God's ability to achieve what we cannot.
