Good Works (109)
  1. When we say in the benediction, “The LORD make His face shine on you,” grace is what we mean.
  2. But these good works aren’t done under compulsion. They’re done freely. They aren’t done so that God will love us. They’re done because He loves us.

  6. I don’t know if you’re like me or not, but ideas can kick around in my head in a big jumble for awhile and then, all of a sudden, something random makes all of the pieces come together.

  10. I don’t know about you, but I am perpetually of the mind that God is disappointed in me.
  11. Pastor Hodel Teaches On Matthew 5:13-20
