Title: Part 1: "God's Goodness"
Pastor Curt Snyder

Give Thanks to the Lord for He is good! His faithful love endures forever! - 2 Chronicles 16:34

“For I know the One in whom I trust, and I am sure that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until the day of His return. Hold on to the pattern of wholesome teaching you learned from me – a pattern shaped by faith and love that you have in Christ Jesus. Through the power of the Holy Spirit who lives within us, carefully guard the precious truth that has been entrusted to you.” – 2 Timothy 1:12-14

1. Know the One you trust
“And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to His purpose for them. For God knew His people in advance, and He chose them to become like His Son, so that His Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And having chosen them, He called them to come to Him. And having called them, He gave them right standing with Himself. And having given right standing, He gave them His glory. What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?” – Romans 8:28-31

2. Hold on to Wholesome Teaching
“Guard what God has entrusted to you. Avoid godless, foolish discussions with those who oppose you with their so-called knowledge. Some people have wandered from the faith by following such foolishness.” – 1 Timothy 6:20-21

3. Shaped by Faith & Love in Jesus
“For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding YES! And through Christ, our AMEN, (which means YES) ascends to God for His glory. It is God who enables us, along with you, to stand firm for Christ…– 2 Corinthians 1:20-21a

4. Through the Power of the Holy Spirit
“He has commissioned us, and He had identified us as His own by placing the Holy Spirit in our hearts as the first installment that guarantees everything He has promised us.” – 2 Corinthians 1:21b-22

5. Guard the Truth Entrusted to You
“And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue His work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ returns.” – Philippians 1:6
