INTRODUCTION:
A. Before we make a major purchase of an expensive item we usually give it a lot of thought. Some of our first thoughts are: (1) Will it live up to it’s claims, and (2) will it meet my needs or serve my purpose? Will it still be working when I get it paid for?
1. None us need or want something that won’t work, or last! Amen!
2. We don’t want something that won’t live up to our expectations!
3. In other words, we expect a lot out of anything that we are going to make a sizable investment in – Right?
B. What about God? If we invest our lives, our souls, our eternal future in Him, will He live up to our expectations? But then, is it fair to subject Him to the same standards that we apply to anything else?
1. ANSWER IS: …YES! God can handle: Our Tough Questions; Our Scrutiny; Our Tests!
Eph. 3:20-21 “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus Sermon 121 – THE ABILITIES OF GODthroughout all ages, world without end. Amen.”
