This is a series on the attributes of God.

Selected Scriptures
Purpose: In this session we shall look at what the Old Testament has to say about the omnipotence of God so that we would draw implications for our lives.
(Note: I will post the New Testament outline sometime this week, further editing is required)
Definitions of the omnipotence of God:
- Looking at the root of the word omnipotence: “The word omnipotence is derived from two Latin words, omni, “all,” and potens, “powerful,” and means “all-powerful.”[1]
- Wayne Grudem: “God’s omnipotence means that God is able to do all his holy will.”[2]
- John Frame: “The term omnipotence is not in Scripture, but the term is appropriate to refer to two biblical ideas, closely related to one another: God can do anything He pleases…Nothing is too hard for God.”[3]
- John Feinberg: “God is able to do everything Scripture shows him doing.”[4]

This book is helpful and the author James Dolezal has done a great service writing this for the church today, especially since some of the attributes of God that have been denied, downplayed and dangerously modified. Dolezal also managed to present a biblical and historical view on God and answers contemporary objections of some of the hardest attributes of God, within the short space of 176 pages! Yet thin as it was this book took me three months to finish as I was slowly working through it carefully and reflectively.
