*Sermon Title: With God, All Things Are Possible*
*Text:* Matthew 19:26 – _“Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.’”_
*Theme:* What looks dead to man is alive to God. What looks finished to you is just the starting point for Him.

*1. The Context: When Men Reach Their Limit*
Jesus had just spoken to the rich young ruler who walked away sad because he couldn’t give up his wealth. The disciples were shocked and asked, “Who then can be saved?”

*Truth:* Man has limits. Wealth can’t save you. Status can’t save you. Good works can’t save you.
*Application:* There are situations in your life right now where you’ve already said, “This is impossible.” A broken marriage, a closed door, a health report, a financial mountain. You’ve calculated it, and by human math, it doesn’t work.
*But Jesus looks at you today and says: You’re right… with man. But I’m not man.*

*2. The Contrast: Man’s Impossibility vs. God’s Possibility*
- *With man* = logic, resources, strength, connections. When those run out, man says “impossible.”
- *With God* = unlimited power, unsearchable wisdom, unending mercy. When God steps in, impossible becomes a testimony.

*Bible Examples:*
- *Sarah’s womb* was dead, but with God, Isaac was born. Genesis 18:14
- *Red Sea* was blocking Israel, but with God, it became a highway. Exodus 14:21
- *Lazarus* was buried 4 days, but with God, the grave became a doorway. John 11:43

*Application:* What is the “Red Sea” in front of you? What has been dead for 4 days in your life? God specializes in the impossible because that’s where only He can get the glory.

*3. The Condition: Faith That Looks to Jesus*
Notice: _“Jesus looked at them and said…”_ Before He spoke possibility, He gave them His attention.

*Truth:* Your impossibility needs to be brought under the gaze of Jesus. Stop looking at the mountain and start looking at the Master.
Peter walked on water _while looking at Jesus_. He sank _when he looked at the wind_. Matthew 14:30

*Application:* You don’t need to know _how_ God will do it. You just need to know _Who_ you’re trusting. Faith is not denying the problem exists. Faith is denying the problem has the final word.

*4. The Call: Release It To God Today*
The rich young ruler held onto what he could control. The disciples let go and followed Jesus. One walked away sad. The others walked into miracles.

*Prophetic Charge:* Some of you are holding onto “possible” plans while God is calling you into “impossible” promises. Release it.
- That sickness? With God, healing is possible.
- That child who’s far from God? With God, salvation is possible.
- That dream you buried? With God, resurrection is possible.

/ Prayer*
_Father, today I bring You what I’ve called impossible. My bank account, my health, my family, my calling. I repent for limiting You to what makes sense to me. Jesus, look at me now. Speak possibility into every dead place. I believe that with You, all things — ALL things — are possible. In Jesus’ name, Amen._
