God’s Perfect Timing – Why We Can Trust Him
Message from Chad Everett
OVERVIEW
This week, we are learning something amazing about God and His Word.
A long time ago, God told Daniel exactly when Jesus (the Messiah) would come—and it happened exactly the way God said!
That means:
👉 God knows everything
👉 God’s timing is perfect
👉 And we can trust Him with our lives
This message also teaches us something very important:
Jesus didn’t come for Himself—He came for us.
And now we have a choice:
Will Jesus just be someone we learn about…
or will He be the Lord of our life?
God wants us to:
● Know His Word
● Trust His plan
● Follow Jesus
● Be ready for what He is doing
