Summary
The message emphasizes that all of God's promises are 'yes' through Christ, urging listeners to believe in them fully rather than letting doubt or past failures undermine their faith. True belief in God's promises, like the Israelites failing to believe at the border, is necessary for the promises to profit in our lives. Furthermore, genuine repentance requires making full restitution for sins, not just confessing them to God.

Power belongs to God and loving-kindness is HisWhen God speaks, we hear two fundamental truths: that all power belongs to Him and that He is full of loving-kindness to fulfill His word.
Trusting God at the end of our own strengthAfflictions and extreme weakness strip away self-reliance so we stop trusting ourselves and rely entirely on the God who raises the dead.
