    All Things Work Together For Good

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Feb 14, 2022
     | 4,420 views

    This promise is for believers in Jesus Christ. In effect, Paul says that if you don’t LOVE God, you can’t claim this promise. If you don’t LOVE God, everything isn’t someday going to work out for “Good”.

    Alba 2-13-2022 ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD Romans 8:28 In Robert J. Morgan’s book, The Promise, he tells the story of John Peterson. When John was a teenager he had a remarkable singing voice and was in high demand as a performer. His greatest ambition was to become a famous vocalist. ...read more

     | 2,081 views

    Paul was addressing a diverse group of people in Corinth who obviously were not all alike but all gifted by God’s Holy Spirit. Paul was pointing out how God brings people from all walks of life together and unites them in ministry in spite of their diversity.

    FOR THE COMMON GOOD (January 16, 2022) Text: I Corinthians 12:1 - 11 1 Corinthinas 12:1-11  Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed.  (2)  You know that when you were pagans, you were enticed and led astray to idols that could not ...read more

    How To Be Good Without Being A Hypocrite Series

    Contributed by Art Campbell on Aug 8, 2022
     | 2,359 views

    It seems that the more strongly we hold moral views the more we insist others hold them as well, and the harder it is to live by them, and we get into this cycle of bullying, hypocrisy and moral failure. So how can we be good without being a hypocrite?

    HYPOCRISY IN THE CHURCH When I was younger, the church pretty much had the corner on hypocrisy, at least as society told the story. People didn’t want to go to church because it was full of hypocrites. To which we sometimes replied, come on in then, we’ve room for more. And that’s not an unfair ...read more

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 27, 2025
     | 153 views

    The gospel of Jesus Christ is history’s central story—faith in the past, hope for the future, and love today.

    Not on Fox. Not on the peacock channel. Not on C-SPAN or ESPN. Not a stock market report. Not a weather forecast. Not stale news. Not fake news. Not bad news. Good news. The gospel is not a broadcast that fades after the commercial break. It’s not spin for ratings or another voice in the noise. ...read more

    Jesus Only Speaks a few words while he is on the cross...this short sermon looks into what Jesus was going through during that time of sacrifice and pain...and what he says to the few disciples who witnessed this horrific event and the last words of their Rabbi...

    There are only a few things that we have recorded of what Jesus said from the cross…and it’s interesting to note, because as I was preparing for today, I was trying to wrap my head around the things Jesus was going through at the time…of course there is absolutely no way for me to do this, because ...read more

    In a world that bombards us with bad news, there is hope and good news only through Jesus Christ. The good news of the gospel can transform all of our situations if only we give heed and believe.

    Here’s what is recorded in Luke 2:10, but the angel said to them, "Don't be afraid! I am here with good news for you, which will bring great joy to all the people. (GNB) From the above mentioned verse, the word that I would like to highlight for our meditation is the word ‘good news’. ...read more

     | 2,376 views

    This week’s “Parables to Live By,” has been a mystery for many, and one of the most challenging so far. It’s the parable, “The Unjust Steward.” It’s a story that can easily come straight out of this week’s news. Come and find out why Jesus commends shrewdness.

    Parable to Live By? “Shrewd is Good:" The Unjust Steward Luke 16:1-13 Watch on YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izRqMHh8ByA This parable has always been somewhat of a mystery to many and why it was even taught by Jesus, so I’ve done multiple studies on it, especially with ...read more

    Sermon # 44 - Overcome Evil With Good Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 13, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 264 views

    Everyone has a choice to either do evil for evil or to repay evil with good. The latter is a godly decision which God approves of and the way Jesus exemplified. When our children are taught this when young, they will grow up to always do good no matter what evil is done to them.

    We read in Genesis 4:1, Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, and said, “I have acquired a man from the LORD.” (NKJV) When the first man Adam and his wife Eve had a baby boy, the words of Eve were, ‘I have acquired a man from the Lord.’ Children are given to us by the Lord, ...read more

    God Given Opportunity To Do Good

    Contributed by Amar Chandnani on Aug 25, 2025
     | 320 views

    The purest form of goodness is expecting nothing in return. Because there is no hidden motive. When Christ Died for Us, He gave up His very life. Expecting nothing in return from us. He did it out of love!

    Galatians 6:9-10 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. Let’s step back in time to the days of the ...read more
