This sermon reveals how God sees us—not as insignificant, but as image-bearers with intrinsic dignity, designed to reign with Him.

Our world is not as fixed as it seems—both science and Scripture reveal that human consciousness plays a role in shaping reality. Just as quantum physics shows that observation collapses possibilities into a single outcome, Jesus taught that faith manifests the unseen into the seen (Mark 11:23, Hebrews 11:1-3). God designed us as co-creators, with the ability to pull from heaven’s reality and establish it on earth (Matthew 6:10). This sermon explores how faith, perception, and spiritual focus determine what we experience—and how aligning with God’s Word empowers us to bring His will into our world.…

In Quantum Physics, there is an understanding that matter at its smallest existence exists in a state of superposition, meaning unlimited potentials, at the same time, until someone or something observes the matter. This is true of God’s Kingdom as well. Join us as we talk about how quantum realities reveal mysteries about the unseen realm.…
