SERMON RECAP – SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2025
ANCHOR SCRIPTURE: Genesis 28:15 (NASB 2020)
“Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”
In this encouraging sermon, Pastor Williams reminded us that even when life shifts, God does not. His presence is not seasonal, conditional, nor dependent on how steady our circumstances feel. He is a God who remains, who keeps, and who fulfills His promises in His timing and by His power.
Drawing from Jacob’s encounter with God, we were challenged to remember that God’s presence is not only a promise, it’s an anchor. He walks with us into new seasons, unfamiliar places, and unexpected changes. His presence becomes our compass for decision-making, our comfort in uncertainty, and our challenge toward deeper faith and obedience.
