Sermon Topics

What is Good? Good is the absence of defect or flaw and the presence of complete wholesomeness.

Goodness is not just what you say but what you do.

  1. The Purpose of Goodness (Acts 23:1)
    • The Inward Reason (Acts 23:1; 24:16)
      • A good conscience is “if you knew me as I know me, you would still respect me.”
      • Your conscience is your inner being that shows you what is Right and Wrong! It can Accuse you or Excuse you.
    • The Outward Reason (1 Corinthians 8:13)
    • The Upward Reason (Acts 24:15)
  2. The Problems with Goodness
    • The Bible Teaches It (Romans 7:18)
    • History Proves It (Psalm 58:3; Proverbs 22:15)
    • Personal Experience Teaches It (Jeremiah 13:23)
  3. The Pathway to Goodness (Romans 7:18; Romans 7:19)
    • Paul’s Desire for Goodness (Romans 7:17; 7:22)
    • Paul’s Determination for Goodness (Romans 7:18)
    • Paul’s Despair (Romans 7:24; Romans 8:31)

Many of us think we are too weak, but that is not our problem! Our problem is we are too strong. (Romans 7:24-25)
