We often hear that God can do anything, but what if there are things he simply cannot do? In a world full of broken promises and uncertainty, knowing what God cannot do might be the key to understanding why we can truly rely on him. Discover how these unchangeable truths bring the assurance and confidence we all need.
Many Christians proclaim that “God died on the cross,” yet this statement raises a profound tension with the biblical truth that God, in his divine nature, is eternal and immortal. If God cannot die, then what truly happened at Calvary? Come explore this paradox and discover how God entered death so that we might live.
1. Have you ever said God died or thanked him for dying for you? Why is it important that our God cannot die?
2. In what way was God involved in the cross? What does this tell you about your salvation?
3. According to the message, there are only 2 kinds of people. Who are they and what implications does that hold for you personally?
We have all been lied to by systems we believed in or by people we trusted. Over time, we learn to expect disappointment and protect ourselves from it. But what if there really is someone whose words never fail, whose promises are never broken, whose character is completely dependable? Come and see why knowing the God who cannot lie changes everything about who we trust with our lives.
1. In what area of your life have you been living as if God cannot be trusted? Have you been worrying, trying to control outcomes, or giving up too quickly?
2. When you struggle to believe that God will keep his promises, how does looking at the cross help you remain anchored instead of giving up?
3. What is one area of your life where you need to stop hiding, exaggerating or bending the truth, and begin living with integrity that reflects God’s character?
Christianity declares that God gives lavishly and withholds no good thing. Yet it also claims that there is one thing he will never give away under any circumstance. If God is generous beyond measure, why does he draw an uncompromising line here?
1. How have your words, habits or decisions treated God as small or optional rather than as the LORD over all?
2. Why does God refuse to let us give glory to idols? What idols have you been serving, and how has that damaged you, distorted you or even enslaved you?
3. What concrete steps will you take to dismantle the idols ruling your life? What specific actions must you take to expose their lies, reject their control and place God back in his rightful place?
