Goodness on SermonAudio

The principle of Satan is to divide what is good and unify that which is evil: Divide God's people and unify the world against them. The answer is unity though humility among God's people.

It was good for the nation to resolve this concern raised by assumptions and lack of communication. It is important to get the facts before taking action on a matter in a local church. The local church needs to be governed by the Lord Jesus Christ. He needs to be in charge and His will needs to be done.

Christians don't need to stay afraid of stepping out for fear of failure because Christ the Good Shepherd is always with them. Don't Be Afraid to Keep Stepping Out in Faith Because Jesus is Always Walking with You.

God has given us this passage to highlight how precious in his sight are his sheep, his people. Because they are so precious, and because enemies sneak in to bring false teaching (that first sounds good), he has appointed men to keep watch on the sheep. In our day, that role is seen as unnecessary and even unkind. Christ would not agree — though wolves certainly would! Shepherds are to take their...

Be of Good Cheer I. In the Storm II. Because of Christ III. Into the Future

What does it take to truly belong to the kingdom of God? Jesus does not shy away from the hard questions -- and in Matthew 19, he gets right to the heart of one of our greatest struggles: what we own, and what owns us. When a rich young man asks Jesus how to inherit eternal life, Jesus lovingly exposes the real god competing for his heart. Our possessions can deceive us into thinking we do not nee...

Psalm 148 calls upon all creation to praise the Lord– from the highest heavens to the depths of the sea and everything and everyone in between. The reasons for this praise are: the Lord is the one who created everything; and he has "raised up a horn (strength) for his people." One question this psalm raises is, "How does the inanimate creation such as mountains and fruit trees praise the Lord? Or...

In "Heirs of God, Part 2," Pastor Robert McNutt continues in Romans 8:17, asking why Paul defines the believer's inheritance in a twofold way: we are heirs of God, and we are fellow heirs with Christ. As a good teacher who takes nothing for granted, Paul underlines our heirship to give believers full assurance. Because we are heirs of God, our inheritance is guaranteed by the God who never lies an...

When babies are born, so too are appetite and voice. Such things are natural to life. When Christians are born again through the truth of the gospel, that new life produces love—a Spirit-enabled desire for the good of others expressed at the expense of self. Such love flows from a Christian's inner being and, like a child learns to speak or walk, must be spurred on to greater expression and growth...

Reading the Bible is one of the best things to do. God has revealed His will to us and strengthens us as we understand and practice what He says. However, there are times when something in the Bible seems to be very difficult to understand. What do you do when you come across a difficult passage. Paul told Timothy to study to show himself approved to God (2 Tim. 2:15). Studying the Bible means mor...

Who gets eternal life -- the self-righteous? Someone who is "good enough"? In Jesus' parables in Luke 18 and 19, it is those who count God as most important and understand themselves to be sinners in need of forgiveness, and who humble themselves before God and trust Jesus for salvation, who are saved, not those who are "good enough" in their own eyes.

What happens when a person has been granted the faith to recognize that Someone has created everything that exists and that Someone necessarily exists outside of all that has been created? God continues to call their hearts toward Himself and to prepare their hearts to receive the message of the gospel so they may be transferred from the Kingdom of Darkness into the Kingdom of Light that is ruled...
