Mission Briefing
Nothing Is Impossible with God!
Have you ever stared at a problem so big that it seemed completely impossible to solve? Jesus has the most exciting answer to that feeling – with God, NOTHING is impossible. Zero. Zip. Zilch. Not a single thing! This mission explores Matthew 19:26.
What Does Matthew 19:26 Mean?
Jesus said this when His disciples were amazed and asked, “Who then can be saved?” They thought it seemed impossible for anyone to make it to heaven based on their own goodness. Jesus agreed – by human effort alone, it IS impossible! But God can do what we never could. This is great news: salvation, transformation, healing, restoration – all the things that seem too hard for us are completely possible for God. He specializes in impossible situations!
Hero Challenge
Write down or draw one “impossible” situation in your life or the world around you – something that seems way too big for anyone to fix. Then bring it to God in prayer this week. Remember: He specializes in impossibilities! Check back in with how God is working on it.
Did You Know?
Jesus said these words after a rich young man walked away sad because he couldn’t give up his wealth to follow Jesus. The disciples were shocked – if even someone that successful couldn’t be saved, what hope was there? Jesus’ answer transformed their worry into wonder: God makes the impossible possible. Every single time.
