Goodness on SermonAudio

If we're saved by grace through no merit of our own, why should we obey God and do good works? Join Pastor Jason as we explore the answer to that question in Heidelberg Catechism #86.

God gives us years of plenty to prepare for the lean years ahead, not to squander on selfish desires and temporary pleasures.

What does a healthy church owe one another? In Ephesians 4:25–32, Paul shows that putting off the old man and living in the new means allowing Christ to reshape how we speak, handle anger, use our resources, treat others, and forgive within the body of Christ. In What We Owe One Another, the church is reminded that these commands are not an arbitrary list of rules—they are rooted in God's characte...

The six ordinary days follow an orderly forming-and-filling pattern—light and domains, then their occupants and humanity—follow...
