God’s Goodness @ Christ’s Place

Our mission: to praise.
To praise Jesus because He’s worthy…regardless of my circumstances.
To lay down my pride, my fear, my doubt and choose to speak of God’s goodness.

And that’s just a hint of the truth found in today’s sermon. Gotta love it.

So, today I will speak of God’s goodness at Christ’s Place...which won’t be tough because God is pouring out His goodness in our church in mass quantities. I love it!

Here are just a few ways I see God’s goodness alive at Christ’s Place…
• People walk through our doors destined for eternity in hell, they hear of the unconditional love of Jesus, commit their lives to Him and gain eternity in heaven.
• We have a pastor anointed by God to preach the truth with boldness…tackling tough issues like money, pornography, sex, and pride.
• People who have been drowning in financial nightmares have made drastic moves to follow God’s instructions and have gained peace and freedom.
• People tell stories of God’s grace saving them and healing them from addiction, fear, abortion, and prostitution.
• God’s gripping our hearts with compassion as 300+ people have volunteered to love the hurting people that were so clearly a part of Jesus’ ministry.
• People are making sacrifices to go to the world and tell others about Jesus or support others who are going.
• People are committing to Connect Groups where we come together and live real lives, with real problems and love each other like a real church family.
• People are making radical choices to leave behind their comfortable lives and step out in bold moves of obedience and faith.
