God doesn’t change:

Psalm 102:25-27 • God is forever
25 In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. 26 They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. Like clothing you will change them and they will be discarded. 27 But you remain the same, and your years will never end.

Isaiah 40:8 • God’s word is forever
8 The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever.

Lamentations 3:22-23 • God’s faithfulness is forever
22 Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. 23 They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

James 1:17 • God doesn’t change
17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

Hebrews 13:8 • Jesus doesn’t change
8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

Dialogue Questions:

How does the unchanging character of God interact with you? Where is the hope in that?

Take It Deeper Questions:
Read Matthew 9:9-13.
How do you feel when someone points out your “issues”?
How do you feel when someone obviously is extending grace to you in spite of your “issues”?
What would cause someone to be gracious to another person’s “issues”?
Why do you think Jesus called Matthew, a tax collector, to be one of His disciples?
Why do you think Jesus would call you to be one of His disciples?
How are you challenged, focused, encouraged, and/or confused by this text?
