    We usually think of good as excellence, or good as effective purpose. Goodness has become individualized. We evaluate good or evil by evaluating the impact that one person has on other persons. When you and I determine good or evil, we compare imperfect p

    Opening illustration: She thinks that because she made some bad choices in high school that a few actions make her a bad person. To look at her, she’s an all-American girl. She’s pretty, kind to small animals, lives in a nice home, drives a reliable car, and wears sensible shoes. But she thinks she ...read more

    If we define goodness in human terms we will always fall short of Christ’s example. God calls us to give our concerns over to him in faith and trust.

    Eternal Life From The Good Samaritan

    Contributed by Richard Futrell on Oct 7, 2010
    based on 6 ratings
     | 6,611 views

    Jesus is the Good Samaritan. He stepped into our cesspool of sin. He stooped down, soiling His hands to pick you up. He brings you to the inn of the Church, where the innkeepers, His pastors, look to your eternal needs.

    Intro “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” So asked a Pharisee, a lawyer, to Jesus. The Pharisee was a man who had spent his life studying the Old Testament. And to him, Jesus was cheapening the Law, the Torah, making it into nothing. Now, all the wrong people were thronging to ...read more

    Evangelists, Prophets, Apostles, and Pastor/Teachers are not exactly authority figures. They are trainers. Good trainers have to be able to set an example. And these trainers are trainers in service.

    Ephesians 4:11 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, ...read more

    Acting Good Or Good Actions?

    Contributed by Judith Hand on Feb 8, 2014

    True religion is not acting good but doing good.

    ACTING GOOD …OR GOOD ACTIONS? Our passage in Isaiah seems contradictory at first… the prophet is told to tell the people they are in rebellion and sin even though it says “day after day they seek God out and seem eager to know his ways”! But God says they are a nation who ...read more

    Acts 5 gives us two cases where the church faced hardship. One was internal and the other was external. Both were used by God for the good of the church. How can that happen for us today?

    (Read Acts 5 with slides) What does it take to ruin a church? What does it take to stop God? Acts 5 gives us two stories about threats to the church, one from the inside and the other from the outside. First. The threat from the inside produced two deaths and great fear upon the whole ...read more
