2. Power to convict hearts and save us, John 16:8, 13; Rom. 1:16.

2. Power to overcome evil, Rom. 12:19-21 (Matt. 5:43-48).

E. The Power of Unity in Christ, Col. 3:12-17.

1. Cords of love, peace, truth and divine authority bind us together with a common heart, mind, purpose, and goals (1 Cor. 1:10); Eccl. 4:9-12.

2. Contrast weakness and sin of division, 1 Cor. 3:3-4; Gal. 5:13-15.

F. The Power of Forgiveness, Matt. 18:21-27.

1. Forgiving one another of our sins against each other reflects God’s forgiveness of us, Eph. 4:31-32 (Matt. 6:12, 14-15).

2. Forgiveness has the power to heal offenses, strengthen relations, secure bonds of love in the home and the church.

3. Forgiveness has a powerful influence on those who see it, Matt. 18:28-31 (others also see when it is withheld).

Conclusion

1. The power of God surrounds us and available to us: To save us, to defend us, and to secure us in faith, Psalm 34:4-7.

2. We must believe and obey God to have His strength in our lives, Col. 1:10-11; Eph. 3:20; Phil. 2:12-13.

3. Will you walk by faith and be powerful in God, or walk with the world and be powerless and lost?
