Are You Good? – Part 1

July 3, 2022

Most believers agree they are holy and blameless “in God’s eyes,” but we’re not so sure we can actually call ourselves “good.”
Religion has taught us that we want to sin, we should doubt our motives, and that it’s more humble to view ourselves as bad – or, at best, only partly good.
But if we’re bad at the core, trying to do good will be a losing battle. There’s no real victory in the Christian life if we’re fighting against our own nature and desires.
In this message, I answer the simple question, “Are you good?” with a resounding “Yes!” You’ll find a genuine freedom in this one – maybe like never before!

Reflecting on our earthly dads can stir up a variety of emotions. Whether it’s joy and celebration or pain and difficulty, it’s important not to let our human views of fatherhood cloud our understanding of God the Father. The Father is good, and knowing His goodness is foundational to a healthy Christianity. From providing you an inheritance to equipping you for victory over sin, to never blaming or shaming you, He is for you and deeply delights in you! In this message, you’ll see the many gifts the Father provides and why you can trust Him to counsel and comfort you through whatever life may bring!
