So what is Mighty God?. Mighty God is the fullness of God in a form we recognize and can relate to. Mighty God commanded storms to cease. He demonstrated authority over sickness. He cast out evil spirits. He has power over death. He raised people to life. He resurrected from the dead. He performed miracles. He reveals the heart of God.
So who is Mighty God?. It is Jesus Christ whom I love

 the miracle on Titanic page 2 by ric gustafson


Charlene Moton held the strange envelope in her hand.
" Open it" her friend Martha Clarke said with wide eyes. " Before I have to get to my next class".
Charlene opened the envelope and took out a sheet of paper. At the top was an insignia.
" The Titanic" her friend gushed. " You're going back home on the Titanic".
Charlene blushed. " I'm speechless".
" I envy you". Martha twirled her red hair. " I heard first class passage is very expensive".
" My father does own his own construction company".
" I need to get to class". She smiled. " What else is in the envelope?".
" My itinerary and my ticket".
" I envy you". She gave Charlene a hug. " Are you going alone?".
" No, my brother is going with me".

Ismay 2026 page 4

Ismay 2026 page 4 by ric gustafson


J Bruce Ismay was sitting among Chinese, Lebanese and Swedish passengers. On Collapsible C, Ismay was the oldest at 49. He was 6-4 and had a waxed moustache. In the raft, he was wearing his pyjamas, a coat and slippers. In the raft, he spoke to no one. It only took 2 hours and forty minutes for the huge liner to sink.
When asked, Ismay stated that he was rowing and did not witness the huge liner sink. Others in the lifeboats witnessed the liner dip underwater with it's lights on. Others watched as the liner's stern rise up into the air. Then the huge liner took it's final plunge. Those in the lifeboats watched as the huge liner disappeared into the cold dark Atlantic. The moonless water was silent again. To the lifeboat passengers, the impression was of awe and sadness.
After the Titanic sank, it left a level sea. But on the surface were deck chairs, lifejackets and the bodies of already dead and dying passengers. 
Then the survivors on the liferafts began to hear the most horrible sounds they had ever heard. It was the wailing and the suffering of over a thousand souls. 
Even though over a thousand passengers were struggling in the freezing cold of the Atlantic, only one lifeboat went back to try and save somebody. This was Lifeboat 14.

names of Jesus: Mediator

 names of Jesus: Mediator by ric gustafson


We have a great Mediator. According to I Timothy 2, there is one God and one mediator. We don't need sacred buildings or holy men to stand between us and God. All we need is a mediator. That way we have direct access to God's presence.
To know that we have a Mediator is a glorious gift. We can turn to him in prayer. His Spirit meets us. We cannot escape the Mediator. He stands in the gap. He intercedes on our behalf. He presents us to the Father. By his wounds, we are healed. By his grace, we are set free. 
So who is the Mediator?. It is Jesus Christ whom I love
