*WHAT DOES GOD DO?*

CONTINUING PROVISION AND PRESENCE 

- God protects and watches over us

Genesis 28:15

Deuteronomy 32:11

Isaiah 25:4

Jude 24-25

Matthew 23:37

John 17:11

Philippians 4:6-7

2 Thessalonians 3:3

God’s words so far have also been spoken to Abraham and Isaac, but now God speaks specifically to assure Jacob of his presence and protection.

Right when Jacob was running away from the consequences of his lies, God mercifully chose to reaffirm His promises.

Jacob was in no position to earn God’s favor.

Yet God promised to be with him.

God provides for the needs of all XII

*31/12/2025* *MID WEEK SERVICE* TOPIC: *WHAT DOES GOD DO?* CONTINUING PROVISION AND PRESENCE  - God provides for the needs of all XII Psalms 23:1-6; 147:1-9 1 Peter 5:6-7 Matthew 5:46; 6:25-34 Acts 14:17 Worry does not advance one’s cause at all; it cannot according to Matthew 6:27-28. It is absolutely useless. It can take up so much of one’s energy that one is paralyzed and cannot act. We need to recognize that while the necessities of life, like clothes, are important, they are not to become an all-consuming passion. Solomon’s wardrobe fades into insignificance beside the simple beauty of a flower according to Matthew 6:29. A flower has a very short lifespan, but God fills it with beauty in spite of this. How much more will he provide food and clothes for the creatures who bear his image? (Matthew 6:30-32). He knows our needs, and will provide for them (although he may not necessarily give us all that we want). Instead of worrying, we must learn to focus on serving the Lord whole...

 *05/02/2025* *MID WEEK SERVICE* THEME: *THE NATURE OF GOD* (Hebrew pl.'elohim) Text: Genesis 1:1,26 Deuteronomy 7:9 Isaiah 45:18 TOPIC: *FORM OF GOD* - All three are in Unity     *"Let US make man in OUR image" II Genesis 1:26 So God placed humankind as living symbols of Himself on earth to represent His reign. This interpretation fits well with the command that follows - to reign over all that God has made. *according to Our likeness:* This draws attention to the preceding figure of speech. Since God is Spirit according to John 4:24, there can be no "image" or "likeness" of Him in the normal sense of these words. Indeed, image-making was later strongly prohibited because of the clear ties that has with idolatry according to Exodus 20:4-6. We may not make images of God for He has already done so! We are His images; it is we who are in His likeness. This is the reason God values people so much. We are made to reflect His majesty on earth. *have dominio...
