June 8, 2025 Sermon
Introduction
In this powerful and reflective sermon, the preacher invites the congregation to examine their relationship with God through the lens of scripture, focusing on His unwavering nature and the transformative power of His Word. Blending poetic expression, personal testimony, and biblical teaching, the message calls believers to deeper obedience, trust, and spiritual maturity.

Sermon Description
The message centers on God’s unchanging nature, the power of His Word, and the importance of obedience and heart alignment with Him. Drawing from Deuteronomy 8, Jeremiah 29:11, and Ephesians 2:10, the preacher emphasizes that God leads, tests, and provides for His people not just materially but spiritually, to shape their character. Prophecies are described as divine possibilities, not guarantees—they require human cooperation and obedience. Ultimately, the Word teaches that trusting God’s plan, seeking His kingdom first, and living by His Word, not worldly dependence, leads to true fulfillment and blessing.
Through Jeremiah 29:11 and Ephesians 2:10, the message further teaches that God has prearranged good plans for His people, but their fulfillment depends on sincere pursuit and cooperation. Prophecy is presented as a glimpse into God’s desire, not a guaranteed outcome—it requires the believer’s active participation and faithfulness. The preacher challenges the congregation to seek God first, trust His timing, and reject dependence on external things, knowing that spiritual maturity and obedience open doors to divine provision, even in unexpected ways.
