God Never Said That!
A Brand New 4-week series at SECC

We’ve all heard phrases like…

“God will never give you more than you can handle.”
“Forgive and forget.”
“God just wants you to be happy.”
“Everything happens for a reason.”

They sound comforting.
They get repeated all the time.
They even feel biblical.

But here’s the truth:
God never actually said them.

And when we build our lives on things God didn’t say…
we end up confused, discouraged, and sometimes even disappointed in Him.

In this 4-week series, God Never Said That, we’re going to take a hard look at some of the most common cultural sayings about God and compare them to what Scripture really teaches.

Because God’s truth doesn’t just sound better—
it actually holds up when life gets hard.

🔹 Week 1 - April 19 - “God Will Never Give You More Than You Can Handle”. When life feels overwhelming, what does God actually promise?

🔹 Week 2 - April 26 - “Forgive and Forget”. What does real forgiveness look like—and what doesn’t it require?

🔹 Week 3 - May 10 - “God Just Wants You to Be Happy”
Is happiness really God’s goal… or is there something deeper?

🔹 Week 4 - May 17 - “Everything Happens for a Reason”
Can we trust God even when life doesn’t make sense?

If you’ve ever wrestled with questions like:
👉 “Why does this feel harder than I can handle?”
👉 “Do I really have to just pretend it didn’t happen?”
👉 “Why isn’t God making me happy?”
👉 “Is there actually a reason for this?”

Then this series is for you.

Come discover what God really says—
and why His truth is better than the clichés we’ve settled for.
