The kindness of God is that He takes our mistakes, what the enemy means for evil, and leverages it for good. Israel's rejection of God is one of those events the enemy meant for evil, but God turned around and used for good. For our good. For their good. For the good of the world.

In this episode of FCC Talk, hosts Jon Rhoades and Dan Stribling from First Christian Church explore how God can transform tragedy into triumph, using the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk as a poignant example. Amid national unrest, they discuss the Christian response—condemning violence while emphasizing love, outreach, and welcoming newcomers to church. Drawing from Scripture like Romans 8:28, Genesis 50:20, and Romans 12:21, they highlight how God works through hardship to soften hearts, draw people to faith, and overcome evil with good. Whether you're grappling with personal loss or cultural division, this conversation offers hope, reminding us that suffering points us back to Jesus and the church as a hospital for the hurting.Timestamps:00:00:00 - Introduction and Greetings00:01:00 - Acknowledging the Tragedy of Charlie Kirk's Assassination00:02:54 - Condemning Violence and Discussing Political Implications00:03:00 - How God Works Through Terrible Events for Good00:03:55 - Stories of People Returning to Church Amid Crisis00:06:16 - The Christian Response: Welcoming Newcomers and Outreach00:08:50 - The Church as a Hospital in Times of National Uncertainty00:10:14 - Personal Reflections on Tragedy and God's Control00:11:26 - Suffering as Part of Life and Running Back to Jesus00:14:05 - Funerals vs. Weddings: Fertile Ground for the Gospel00:17:23 - Real-Life Examples of Church Hurt and Healing00:19:00 - Everyone Carries Burdens: Leading with Empathy00:20:36 - Emotions as Motivators, Truth as Anchor00:22:30 - Biblical Lessons: Joseph's Story and Overcoming Evil00:24:35 - Romans 8:28 - All Things Work for Good00:25:25 - Overcoming Evil with Good (Romans 12:21)00:26:24 - The Real Enemy: Spiritual Warfare (Ephesians 6)00:27:22 - Loving Those Who Celebrate Evil00:29:58 - Final Thoughts: Turning the Other Cheek and Bold Faith00:30:45 - Closing Encouragement and Call to ActionSubscribe for more faith-based discussions on Christian living, biblical wisdom, and responding to current events.

Why I Have to Be in a Season of Waiting • Sunday Service Website: www.PastorTodd.org To give: www.toddcoconato.com/give Waiting is one of the hardest things God asks us to do. We want answers now, doors open now, breakthrough now. But Scripture teaches that waiting is not wasted—it's one of God's most powerful tools to shape us, strengthen us, and align us with His perfect timing. Let's walk through ten passages that show why God calls us into seasons of waiting. 1. Waiting Renews Strength Isaiah 40:31 (NKJV): “But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.” 2. Waiting Teaches Us God's Timing Habakkuk 2:3 (NKJV): “For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” 3. Waiting Builds Endurance in Trials Romans 5:3–4 (NKJV): “And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope.” 4. Waiting Is Part of God's Goodness Lamentations 3:25–26 (NKJV): “The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.” 5. Waiting Keeps Us from Running Ahead of God Psalm 27:14 (NKJV): “Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the Lord!” 6. Waiting Prepares Us to Receive the Promise Hebrews 6:12 (NKJV): “That you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.” 7. Waiting Shows God Is Working All Things for Good Romans 8:28 (NKJV): “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” 8. Waiting Protects Us from the Wrong Door Psalm 37:7 (NKJV): “Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him; do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.” 9. Waiting Produces Blessing in Due Season Galatians 6:9 (NKJV): “And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.” 10. Waiting Prepares Us for Christ's Return Titus 2:13 (NKJV): “Looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.” Beloved, if you are in a season of waiting, remember this: waiting is not wasted. God is renewing your strength, building your character, protecting you from wrong doors, and aligning you with His perfect timing. The waiting is a setup for the promise. Be of good courage, and wait on the Lord! CCLI: 21943673

It is time this very minute to pray and seek God. Time to set our timers and pray for the minute. This podcast encourages us to stop for a minute and, now, in the presence of our Heavenly Father—with praise and prayer—worship Him in Jesus' name and in the power of the Holy Spirit. ———— *We do not own the rights to music played on this podcast.
Send us a textIntroduction:Have you ever listened to someone speak and wondered, "Where is this going? What are they really trying to say?" When I first read these opening chapters of Romans, I found myself asking the same question of Paul. His argument is tightly woven, deeply theological, and ultimately leads to an unavoidable conclusion: No one is righteous before God.In this episode, we dive into Romans 3:9-20, where Paul brings his opening argument to a stunning climax. He has spent the previous chapters demonstrating that all people—whether obviously unrighteous or self-righteous—are under God's judgment. Now, he delivers his final verdict: "No one is righteous, not even one."Key Takeaways:Paul's Three-Step Argument:The Meaning of Being ‘Under Sin':The Law's True Purpose:The Hope Beyond Judgment:Final Thought:Romans 3 strips away every illusion we have about our own righteousness. It forces us to face the sobering truth that we cannot justify ourselves before God. But as we will soon see, this prepares us for the greatest news of all: the righteousness of God made available through faith in Jesus Christ.Join us next time as we continue our journey through Romans and explore the hope that follows the judgment.Subscribe & Share: If this episode encouraged or challenged you, consider subscribing and sharing it with someone who might benefit from it.

Sin has ruined us, but Christ can rescue us. In this sermon, Pastor Mark wraps up this first section in Romans focusing on the judgment of God and our sinful condition. This passage in 3:9-20 shows us that under sin no one is righteous, no one seeks for God, no one does good. We need to be rescued by our Savior. Preached on Oct. 30, 2024.
You may have heard us talk about it before...but the word "good" is one of the most theologically rich and spiritually significant words in the Bible. It features prominently in crucial passages like Genesis 1-3. It is also a key word in understanding Romans 12. The Apostle Paul says, "Hate what is evil, cling to what is good." This phrase catapults us back to the very beginning of the human story when Adam and Eve were tempted to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

What is “Good”? (Romans 8:28) by Sun Valley Church
What is “Good”? (Romans 8:28) by Sun Valley Church
Romans 8:28 is a well-known and well-loved verse, but it is often misunderstood and misapplied. The true promise of this verse is not that God is working out ‘all things' to give you comfort in life, but that He is working out all things to bring you into conformity with Christ. This sermon was preached at Legacy Reformed Baptist Church in East Grand Forks, MN. For more information, visit LegacyRBC.org.

Scripture: Romans 8:28-30 Key Takeaways: The bad things will all be turned to good. Romans 8:18 John 11:33-35 John 11:38-39 The good things can never be taken away from you. John 6:44 Jeremiah 32:38-41 Ephesians 1:4-6 “What matters supremely, therefore, is not, in the last analysis, the fact that I know God, but the larger fact which underlies it—the fact that he knows me.. I know him because he first knew me, and continues to know me. This is momentous knowledge. There is unspeakable comfort—the sort of comfort that energizes, be it said, not enervates—in knowing that God is constantly taking knowledge of me in love and watching over me for my good. There is tremendous relief in knowing that his love to me is utterly realistic, based at every point on prior knowledge of the worst about me, so that no discovery now can disillusion him about me, in the way I am so often disillusioned about myself, and quench his determination to bless me.” - J.I. Packer, Knowing God “Ultimately, the proof of a right approach to these doctrines is that you find in them the greatest urge to holiness and sanctification. If your belief of these doctrines has not driven you to holiness you are in a dangerous condition … you are misusing them to say: Well, it is all right with me, it matters not therefore what I do. I am saved … No one can truly see these doctrines without being humbled.” - Martin Lloyd Jones The best things are always ahead of us. ■ “Foreknew”: God set his love on us. ■ “Predestined”: God planned a glorious process & destination for us. ■ “Called & Justified”: God works out his plan in time. ■ “Glorified”: God completes the plan in eternity. John 17:22-24 Philippians 3:20-21
