Good Things Part 1 - Pastor Micah

"God is in the Good"

When you hear negative, you will ultimately see negative.

Luke 2:10 - Then the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring good tidings of great joy which will be to all people.

Luke 4:17 - and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him.  Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:

18-19 "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor.  He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor."

Deuteronomy 30

2 and when you and your children return to the Lord you God and obey him with all your heart and with all your soul according to everything I command you today, 

3 then the Lord your God will restore your fortunes and have compassion on you and gather you again from all the nations where he scattered you.

17 But if your heart turns away and you are not obedient, and if you are drawn away to bow down to other gods and worship them,

18 I declare to you this day that you will certainly be destroyed.  You will not live long in the land you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess.

Malachi 3:7 - Ever since the time of your ancestors you have turned away from my decrees and have not kept them.  Return to me, and I will return to you," says the Lord Almighty. 

Romans 5 (T.L.B)

7 Even if we were good, we really wouldn't expect anyone to die for us, though, of course, that might be barely possible.  

8 But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners.

John 3:16 - For Gos so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

James 1:17 - Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of lights(the Creator and Sustainer of the heavens), in whom there is no variation (no rising of setting) or shadow cast by His turning (for He is perfect and never changes).

God is in the Good!

Good is no longer separated but it is now synonymous with God!

You start to recognize God in places you didn't see Him before!
