“LIES ABOUT YOU” (PART 1) DAY 2

THE LIE: “You Can’t Change”

Read: Hebrews 13:20-21; Philippians 4:13 and SOAP: Hebrews 13:20-21

SOAP: Romans 8:31-32

What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?  Indeed, he who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, freely give us all things?
