“Impossible! This situation is just impossible!”
Have you ever said words like those . . . when your circumstances seemed out of control . . . when they seemed impossible? All of us have found ourselves in holes too deep to get out of on our own—when all hope seemed lost. Thankfully, God specializes in impossibilities. All we need to do is trust Him. If you’re facing an impossible situation in your life today and can find no means of escape, then this series is the encouragement you need to remember that God is the God of impossibilities. And that’s a truth you can trust in.

By exploring pivotal moments in the Gospels, we learn to shift our focus from our limited resources to God’s limitless power, discovering that no escape is too difficult for the One who rules over all.
