INTRO: A quote: “The more things change the more they stay the same.” We live in a world where the rate of change seems to be accelerating.

Hebrews 1:10-12 is our authority for regarding Psalm 102 as Messianic: “And, “You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the work of your hands; they will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment, like a robe you will roll them up, like a garment…

We as sinners are in desperate need of God’s intervention to deliver us from the wages of our sin which is death. “Lord, be merciful to me, a sinner!”

The Immutability of God 28 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.

Every trip I make to Chicago is an adventure. As I drive into the city I drive on roads I have driven hundreds of times in my life. But each time I travel them. . . they are different. Familiar buildings have been torn down, farmlands are transformed into industrial parks, and superstores appear to be…

James 1:16-18 gives 3 truths to encourage the heart that is being deceived by trouble.

Immutability God’s immutability is his perfect unchangeability in his essence, character, purpose, and promises. The quality of not being susceptible to change. In theology it signifies the attribute, or perfection, of God whereby he remains the same in his divine nature and purpose. 1. He is eternally…

We must understand the reality of God's promises so that we can faithfully rest of God's promises.

When life gets hard and our expectations of God go unmet, we can begin to lose confidence in the reliability and justice of God. This was true in Malachi’s day and our text delivers a clear answer to the skepticism of his audience. His answer ought to buttress our hope as well. In the heart of our text is the principle upon which we ground our hope that God will keep every promise he has made—“I the LORD do not change” (3:6).

Introduction As humans, we remember very interesting things. Many of you can remember things such as addresses and specific dates because they have great significance to them while you might forget something more important to your immediate future.

“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” (NIV) Change is unsettling to most of us, even if it is a change we like. I don't know if it is a byproduct of growing older, but the breakneck speed of the change…

To conclude 2018, Pastor Isaiah talks about how many in this time of year are looking at changes in our lives or our circumstances in the New Year. But while humans change often, our God is Immutable, that is, He is Unchanging. From Psalm 102 and James 1, this glorious truth is set forth as a firm foundation for us to embrace as we rely upon our unchanging and always perfect God.

Since God doesn't change, we can trust Him completely

Moses is given a tremendous and burdensome task in Ex 3:7-10. But Moses does not know or fully understand the LORD. In this text, God gives him 2 names that are meant to overcome his fear and empower him to do God’s will.

People change, and weare never quite sure whether we can trust them. But God never changes, and His trustworthiness is never a question.
