- Torn veil: way to God is opened, no need any sacrifice of lamb needed anymore
- God first reaches out to man
- Earthquake = judgment of God

1. Power to Start Over

2. Power to help us keep going
- Life is challenging, our strengths keep depleting
- Stay on right track, and always do the right thing
3. Power to experience the miracles
- There are things in life that we just cannot do, that's when we come to God
- Nothing is impossible with God
