What good are good works? | Jim Gane by CrossPoint Church
In this message on Ephesians 2:1–10, Pastor Jim urges us to grasp the depth of what it means to be rescued by grace. We are not simply saved from something but brought into something entirely new. Jim describes the contrast between our spiritual death and the new life found in Christ, inviting us to see salvation not as a ticket to heaven but as a radical relocation into God's household. Through vivid imagery and honest reflection, Jim unpacks the beauty of God's mercy, our position in Christ, and the truth that we are God's workmanship created for good works. The church, as God's new family, becomes a sign of new creation in a world desperate for hope, healing, and wholeness.

An exposition of chapter 15 of the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith, concerning Good Works. It is our duty as servants, and our delight as sons, to do the will of the Father, but these 'good' works are acceptable to God, only when done by His grace, for His glory, according to His Word, in union with His Son, Jesus Christ.

The Book of Titus emphasizes the importance of doctrine, deeds, and devotion in the Christian life. Paul wrote to Titus to establish order in the church by appointing qualified elders who are sound in doctrine and spiritually mature. Sound doctrine leads to healthy living and good works, which are a natural outflow of genuine faith and a changed heart. While salvation is not earned through good works, they are a necessary evidence of it. Overemphasizing works can lead to pride and insecurity, while neglecting them can lead to complacency and a poor witness. Believers are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, and this gift should inspire them to live lives of gratitude, love, and service to others, displaying the image of Jesus and proclaiming the gospel through both words and actions. Good works are a witness, a model, a sign of redemption, purity, devotion, and a mark of salvation, reflecting a shift from self-centeredness to a God-centered, outward focus.#titus #goodworks #faithandworks #sounddoctrine #christianliving #biblicaltheology #reformedtheology #graceandmercy #salvation #zealousforgoodworks www.ReformedRookie.comPodcast: https://anchor.fm/reformedrookieFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheReformedRookie Twitter: https://twitter.com/NYapologistSemper Reformanda!

Going Deeper: The Value of Good Works
What exactly are the “good works” believers are created for? This teaching shows how the Torah defines and equips good works (2 Tim 3:16–17), why Yeshua upholds the Law (Matt 5:17–19), and how the Spirit empowers obedience (Ezek 36:27; Rom 8:4). Scriptures (4–6): Ephesians 2:8–10; 2 Timothy 3:16–17; Matthew 5:16–19; Ezekiel 36:27; Romans 8:4; Revelation 14:12 Takeaway (1–2 sentences): We're not saved by works—we're saved for works Scripture defines. In Yeshua, by the Spirit, we walk in Torah-shaped love (John 14:15; 1 John 5:3).#goodworks #CreatedForGoodWorks #119Ministries #TestEverything #Bible

St. Paul encourages the Thessalonians to continue in good works without growing tired. Those who do not listen to St. Paul's instruction must be warned as brothers, in order that their shame might lead to repentance and renewed faith. Before St. Paul finishes, he signs his letter with his own hand and blesses the Thessalonians with the peace and grace of the Lord. Rev. Ryan Ogrodowicz, pastor at Grace Lutheran Church and School in Brenham, TX, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study 2 Thessalonians 3:13-18. To learn more about Grace Lutheran, visit gracebrenham.org. “Yearning for the Day of Christ's Returning” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that studies St. Paul's two epistles to the Thessalonians. Although Paul's time in Thessalonica was brief, he had great affection for the Christians there. His two letters to the Thessalonians show us the joy that God gives us together in the Church and encourage us to live faithfully in expectation of Jesus' coming on the Last Day. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org
Christ's preeminence shapes the closing movement of the letter, where faith is shown in ordinary names, shared labor, and steady devotion. Attention turns from grand statements about Jesus' supremacy to the lived results of that supremacy, where the gospel reorients priorities, strengthens courage under pressure, and keeps the mission central even when circumstances are painful and restrictive. This final section highlights lives reclaimed and redirected by grace, where past failure does not disqualify usefulness and loyalty becomes a sustained, costly commitment. Endurance is carried not only through visible service but through earnest intercession that seeks spiritual maturity and stability amid competing voices. The closing greetings and charges underscore continuing responsibility to remain anchored in God's word, to fulfill entrusted work, and to persevere with gratitude, wisdom, and clarity. Grace stands as the sustaining ground for everything that follows.
Exhortation
Authentic ministry starts with a servant’s mindset, and Christians searching for purpose will find it in action—zeal for good works is a mark of discipleship, not a pastoral job description. John 12:26 frames service as the pathway to honor from the Father, reminding believers that following Christ means stepping into everyday ministry, wherever life places your feet. Highlights Ministry simply means “to serve,” and every follower of Christ is called into it. Jesus modeled servant leadership as the Servant King—service is imitation before function. The call isn’t to become a pastor, but to live like Jesus. Daily surrender (“die daily”) is less dramatic and more incremental—small yeses, repeated. Excuses shrink when identity grows: you serve because you are His, not to become enough. Service is worship when done in the Spirit’s power, not self-reliant hustle mode. Zealous good works expand your reach for God’s Kingdom—overflow comes after outpour. Gift Inspiration: Crosswalk's Holiday Gift Guide Looking for a meaningful way to celebrate the season?

Full Transcript Below: Zealous for Good Works By: Emily Rose Massey Bible Reading: “If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him” (John 12:26, ESV). “Ministry” is from the Greek word diakoneo, meaning “to serve.” At my church, our elders believe that every member of God’s Church is a minister, so obviously that would mean that every believer is called to serve- serve Jesus and serve His Body. Jesus was the servant of all. In fact, He was the Servant King. Christ shares in the gospel of John the importance of serving and following Him as He serves others. “If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him” (John 12:26, ESV). Jesus asks us as Christians to lay our lives down continually, denying our wants and desires, or as the Apostle Paul said to do, “die daily” (1 Corinthians 15:31). Do we know how to do that? Intersecting Life & Faith: It is human nature to seek after what our hearts and flesh crave, but we do not have to give in to that kind of nature, for we have a new nature in Christ Jesus (Colossians 3:10, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Ephesians 4:24). Some people have wrong thoughts about God and service, perhaps believing their service doesn’t matter because others have it taken care of. Or perhaps they see pastors as the ones who are qualified for service and ministry, so they don’t need to join in. But we are all priests to our God (1 Peter 2:9)! When we put our hands to the plow, so to speak, in ministry, we are worshiping God. Those who are saved by Christ will eagerly and joyfully serve Christ and His people. We have been clothed in Christ’s righteousness to match Him and follow Him. What clothes are you wearing- the world’s or Christ’s? No matter the excuse or wrong thinking regarding ministry and service, we can ask God to help us see the importance of serving the Lord and others. The Holy Spirit empowers us to set aside our selfishness and learn how to be selfless like Jesus, preferring others above ourselves. That kind of lifestyle starts in the mind, in the way we think, as we learn to think of ourselves less and look for ways to put others first. The Lord promises that the Father will honor the one who serves Christ by serving His people. As we learn to prefer others above ourselves, the Lord fills us with His love to the overflow to reach more people for His Kingdom. He will give us zeal for ministry. God is selfless, humble, gracious, and merciful, and as His children, He asks us to follow His example. We cannot do that in our own strength. The Holy Spirit will empower you, and with His grace, to be able to deny your own desires and selfish ambitions. We need God’s help to prefer others above ourselves. God’s Word transforms our minds so that we can learn how to think less of ourselves and seek to serve God and His people. Let us ask God to help us value the call to serve so we can look more like Him, ministering to whoever He puts in front of our path.

SUNDAY COURSES | Westminster Confession of Faith, Ch 16: Of Good Works
1. Created for Good Works2. Breaking Down Barriers3. Building UnityToday's sermon explored our divine purpose as believers, reminding us that while we are saved by grace through faith—not by works—we have been created in Christ Jesus for good works that God prepared beforehand for us to walk in. We examined how God has broken down the barriers between Jews and Gentiles through Christ's sacrifice, making us all fellow citizens in God's household. The message challenged us to recognize that we are God's workmanship, His "poema" or poem, and that our lives can be a piece of literary art written by the hand of God Himself.Takeaways:- We are saved by grace alone, not by our efforts, yet we are created for good works. Our salvation is a free gift, but it comes with a calling to serve God and shine His light wherever we are planted.- God is both working in us and through us. The same power that saved us is the power that equips us for every good work. We partner with God in this process through reading His Word, prayer, and being doers of what we learn.- In Christ, all barriers are broken down. We are no longer strangers or outsiders but fellow citizens with all believers, part of God's household, built on the foundation with Christ as the cornerstone.As we move through this week, let's ask ourselves: Are we living out God's story for our lives, or are we writing our own? May we embrace our identity as His workmanship and walk faithfully in the good works He has prepared for us.
