Towards Easter: Lifted Up

Contributed by Troy Borst on Mar 11, 2026

The “lifting up” of Jesus was an actual event which has great theological meaning. The death of Jesus on the cross… His being “lifted up”… means much to our souls.

The Goodness Of God

Contributed by Todd Catteau on Mar 11, 2026

Not everyone sees God as good. A great but not good God only produces fear. That kind of God discourages trust and breeds anxiety rather than faith. So today, we're going to look at another essential aspect of God's character — His goodness.

**The Goodness of God** Last week we talked about the greatness of God. Contemplating God's greatness is an important spiritual discipline. When we do this, we break free from our narrow perspectives — those little slivers of the universe we tend to get caught up in. And when we see how great ...read more
