"The Greatest Miracle" - Bro. John A. Putnam

March 08, 2026

Bro. John A. Putnam

In this week’s POSC sermon, Bro. John A. Putnam shares a thought-provoking and faith-building message titled “The Greatest Miracle.” Drawing from the story of the widow’s oil in 2 Kings 4, this message invites listeners to reconsider how we define miracles and challenges us to recognize the powerful works God has already done in our lives. “The Greatest Miracle” is both a reminder and a challenge: remember the miracle God has worked in your life, give Him the glory for it, and allow your testimony to become the vessel through which someone else encounters the power of Jesus Christ.

Episode Notes

Main Point: The greatest miracle is not simply the miracles recorded in Scripture—it is the miracle that God has personally performed in your life.

The Bible is filled with extraordinary miracles—Jonah and the great fish, Moses and the Red Sea, David and Goliath, Daniel in the lions’ den, and the miracles of Jesus.
A true miracle is a divine act that only God can perform, often occurring where human ability ends and God alone receives the glory.
Miracles meet needs, but their ultimate purpose is to reveal God and strengthen faith.
The greatest miracle many believers overlook is the one God has already done in their own life—salvation, healing, deliverance, restoration, or transformation.
When people forget the miracle God has done for them, they can become spiritually complacent or disconnected from gratitude.
Testimony is powerful: sharing what God has done allows the miracle to “pour out” into the lives of others.
Key Scriptures:

2 Kings 4:1–7 – The miracle of the widow’s oil.
John 11:4 – Miracles reveal the glory of God.
Matthew 9:6–8 – Jesus heals the paralytic to demonstrate divine authority.
Acts 4:21 – The people glorified God for the miracle performed.
Revelation 12:11 – We overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony.

Major Themes:

Miracles Reveal God: Every miracle ultimately points back to God’s glory.
Your Miracle Matters: The greatest miracle you know is the one God has done for you personally.
Gratitude Prevents Forgetfulness: Remembering God’s work keeps faith alive.
Comparison Kills Testimony: Every miracle is unique and valuable in God’s plan.
Miracles Are Meant to Flow: Just like the widow’s oil, God intends our testimonies to pour into others’ lives.

Reflection Questions:

What miracle has God performed in my life that I might be taking for granted?
Have I shared my testimony with someone who might need hope?
Am I giving God the glory for the things He has done for me?
