Hi Brian! 

That was the best sports experience I have ever had in person, and being with all of you made it extra special! I have been watching replays and interviews and reliving that moment! :) In keeping with this theme, the word for this week is "miracle"! We'll be looking at these verses from the New Testament:

Luke 23:8 And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him. KJV

John 4:54 This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee. KJV

John 6:14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world. KJV

Acts 4:16 Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it. KJV

These are all the Greek word "semeion". Strong's Concordance says: an indication, especially supernaturally. Thayer's Greek Lexicon adds: a sign, a mark, a token, that by which a person or a thing is distinguished from others and known. Signs portending remarkable events soon to happen. (I LIKE that one!) Everyone seems to be referring to this last game as the "Miracle in Minneapolis"!  I am choosing to agree with that, which, in the light of our study today, must mean that what we saw on Sunday is a "sign of remarkable events soon to happen"! Now we certainly know not to EVER give up! Here is Hillsong with "All The Power You Need":

Love and Shalom from the Swoveys!
