Can Coincidences Be Miracles? - Jeremy Duncan

About this episode

The episode explores the idea that meaningful moments in life may not be random, reframing miracles as the result of attentiveness and presence.

What if the most meaningful moments in your life aren’t random at all? In this talk, we explore a surprising story from Acts 8—the encounter between Philip and the Ethiopian traveler—and ask a simple but unsettling question: Can coincidence be a miracle? Rather than focusing on miracles as interruptions of nature, this message reframes the miraculous as something formed over time—through attentiveness, presence, and the kind of person we are becoming. Maybe the miracle isn’t just in the moment things come together… but in the quiet ways our lives are shaped to notice those moments at all. From desert roads to everyday conversations, this is an invitation to rediscover wonder—not in spectacle, but in the ordinary intersections of our lives. If you’ve ever wondered where God is in the middle of your everyday routines, this conversation is for you. 📖 Scripture: Acts 8:26–40 📍 Commons Church, Calgary 🔔 Subscribe for more conversations on faith, culture, and the way of Jesus ★ Support this podcast ★
