What God Does

A right understanding of God is essential for a right understanding of life. In this sermon, Dr. Rocky Ramsey uses God's Word to present ten truths about God that are often misunderstood, ignored, or distorted.

The sermon begins by grounding God’s love not in human worthiness, but in God’s unchanging nature (Romans 5:8). It clarifies that while God deeply desires relationship with us, He does not depend on us (Matthew 25:41). Scripture also shows that God allows the natural consequences of sin, yet faithfully rewards obedience (Galatians 6:7–8; Hebrews 11:6).

Dr. Rocky Ramsey challenges the modern assumption that God’s primary goal is comfort or happiness. Instead, Scripture reveals that God is shaping character, producing endurance, and cultivating lasting joy (Romans 8:29; James 1:2–4; John 17:13). God is concerned with eternal outcomes more than temporary moments and calls His people to trust Him even when obedience is costly.

The message concludes with a powerful reminder: God’s care is constant, even when it feels absent (Isaiah 49:15). These ten truths provide a biblical framework for understanding suffering, discipline, obedience, and hope—and invite listeners to see God as He truly is.
