Jesus is the Same Yesterday, Today, and Forever

Sermon Summary

Hebrews 13:8 reminds us that Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. From the dawn of creation, God knew humanity would stray from Him and face evil. The incredible news is that through His grace and boundless love, God ensured we wouldn’t have to endure this separation forever. Before time even began, Jesus made promises and provided for us, anticipating our every need. And God, rich in mercy, also reveals the ultimate fate of evil for all eternity. That’s truly something to be thankful for!

Discussion Questions

• Jesus has made it possible for us to live in deep connection with God. Why do we so often feel disconnected, or separated, from Him? What lies have you believed that have contributed to this feeling? What are some good responses to the feeling of disconnectedness?
• What are your thoughts about eternity? 
• Does God want anyone to spend eternity separated from Him? If not, what is it about God’s character and attributes that motivates Him? 
• Do you, on some level, share some of these character traits and attributes? How are they made manifest in your city? How can you grow in these areas? 
• What changes, if any, would you make after hearing this message?
