  2. Matthew 28:18-20 And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.

  4. The message of reconciliation • Romans 3:23 All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God • Romans 3:25 For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin.

He went down to the port of Joppa, where he found a ship leaving for Tarshish. He bought a ticket and went on board, hoping to escape from the Lord by sailing to Tarshish. The Lord hurled a great wind and sea so the ship was about to break up.

  7. Jonah • 1:15 So they picked up Jonah, threw him into the sea, and the sea stopped its raging. • 1:17 Now the Lord had arranged for a great fish to swallow Jonah. And Jonah was inside the fish for three days and three nights. • 2:10 Then the Lord commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah up onto the dry land.

  8. all authority and power • Acts 1:8 – You will receive power when the Holy spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth. • Holy Spirit inside every Christian • He gives us access to that power and authority
