Jehovah-Shaddai: The All Sufficient and All Powerful One (5 of 10)
Series: The "Names of God"
Dennis Marquardt
Exodus 6:2-3; 13:17-14:31; Daniel 6:1-28; James 1:13-15, 4:13-17
INTRO: The claims for being powerful are many today:
* Excedrin claims that it has extra strength! (So do others!)
* Comet cleanser is the "powerful one!"
* Cheer has more whitening power than all other brands.
* America is the most powerful nation in the world.
* Superman is more powerful than a locomotive.

3. If sin was conquered we could also conquer the other problems that are temporal!

ILLUS: Rochester, New York, was dramatically transformed by [Charles Finney's] work there in 1830-31 in what has been called the greatest year of spiritual awakening in American history. Shops were closed so people could attend his meetings, and as a result of the changed hearts, the town taverns went out of business. Fi ...
