    Many people have expectations of what God can do for them. But that's not how it works. We were saved to do things for Him. Why?

They visualize a God who is going to do what they want done. ILLUS: A woman named Donna had a conversation with her 4 year old niece. The little ...read more

    God's Word, the Bible, is a perfect revelation of the mind and the will of God. We sin against Him when we attempt to usurp His place by trying to put words in His mouth.

    Life can be full of changes and therefore life is unpredictable. People go through changes too. Thus, people can be unpredictable. But there's one whom we can count on to never change-God. Let's take a look at our unchanging God.
