Who defines good? Us or God? In this sermon series “Somehow God is Good,” we will examine our definition of good and what the Scriptures teach us about God’s version of good. Throughout this sermon, Pastor Dave focuses on Romans 8:28 according to our feelings and Scripture. When feelings become our determiner of truth, we are asking to be deceived. But when all of Scripture is our lens, good is determined by the one promising it, not receiving it.
Rethinking Our Definition of Good: Feelings vs Scripture

Do it Afraid
June 4, 2023
Often, we come across the choice of either listening to a good God who loves us or listening to the lies of the enemy. Periods of waiting can be painful, but when we choose to listen when God speaks, the reward is immeasurable. When God guides, He will always provide. God wants to grow us so we can experience the level of His goodness. His timing is just as important as His direction. Will you follow Jesus’ example and do it afraid?
Taste and See
May 28, 2023 • Amanda Beggs • Proverbs 29:25, John 5:39–44, Romans 5:6–8, 1 John 3:1, Ephesians 3:14–19
Often, we take God’s gifts and love them more than God Himself. They become ultimate things and we believe they will give us acceptance, significance, and security. We use the gift of relationships in our lives as an ultimate thing but end up disappointed. Only God can provide us the acceptance, significance, and security we need. When God is our ultimate source of goodness, we are free to enjoy good relationships. God is calling us to not only know about Him but to experience Him inside a relationship by tasting and seeing His goodness.
