Matthew 7:21-2721 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?' 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.'Build Your House on the Rock24 “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”
Good Works estimates that a staggering $280 billion in estate wealth is expected to flow into Canadian charities. That's not a number small nonprofits can afford to overlook. Planned giving doesn't have to be exclusive, intimidating, or tax-code-heavy. In this episode, we dive into how small nonprofits can approach planned giving in a way that's equitable, inclusive, and deeply aligned with community values. We're joined by Chantelle Ohrling, a thought leader in both the planned giving and Community-Centric Fundraising spaces. She is the Planned Giving Officer at Ecojustice, is the Communications Chair for the Greater Vancouver Chapter of the Canadian Association of Gift Planners and contributes her voice to the Black Canadian Fundraisers Collective and Hogan's Alley Society. Chantelle also holds a certification in Legacy Giving Psychology from the Institute for Sustainable Philanthropy and received the 2023 Birgit Smith Burton R.I.S.E. Award. Chantelle brings not just technical expertise, but a fierce commitment to justice, equity, and community-led philanthropy. Planned Giving and Community-Centric Fundraising – Episode Highlights 1. Planned giving is not just for the ultra-wealthy. Many transformational legacy gifts come from long-time supporters who aren't high-dollar donors. A $50-a-year donor who volunteers, reads the newsletter, and shows up for events? They might be your next million-dollar legacy gift. 2. Racialized communities are generous and underserved. Research shows Black and racialized communities are among the most generous in Canada. The issue isn't willingness: it's access, representation, and trust. Planned giving strategies must meet these communities where they are. 3. Planned giving can close the racial wealth gap. It's not just a funding strategy, it's also a justice strategy. Promoting estate planning in underserved communities supports financial literacy, generational wealth-building, and autonomy over where wealth flows after death. 4. Values-led storytelling beats tax talk. Don't lead with tax benefits. Lead with stories. Tell donors about people like them who've left a legacy that aligns with their values. Planned giving is emotional, not transactional. 5. Don't silo legacy giving into major gifts. Some of the largest bequests come from people who've never made a major gift in their lifetime. That's why Chantelle doesn't segment her messaging by giving levels—she hand-signs 700 newsletters if she has to.

Well, if you have ever read the book of Genesis, you will know that you are not too many pages into the book before you witness the first murder ever committed in this world. What a sad commentary on the effects of sin in the lives of human beings! Today's message examines the story of Cain and Abel in some detail and finds that it actually reveals to us the origin of the world's first religion - the way of Cain.

Romans 2:6-10 — Can good works save? Will one receive salvation just for being a ‘good' person? In the sermon titled “…To…Man that Worketh Good,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones walks through these questions in Romans 2:6–10, a passage often taken out of context. While works are the proof of salvation, they are not the source of it. Paul proves that people cannot be justified by works alone and no matter the efforts of all of humanity, no one is righteous or exempt from judgement. In this message, Dr. Lloyd-Jones states that the day of condemnation will bring judgement upon those who relied on their efforts to impress God; those that say they know the Lord but do not keep His commands are liars. If one is truly a believer, they have the Holy Spirit who will act in them and change them, and that change will be manifested with outward expression. Christians should always aim to bring glory to God, seek His honor, and yearn for eternal life with Him. This should cause Christians to be mindful that what comes out of their mouths also is represented in the works that they do.

Welcome to The Drive Bible Podcast! In this deep dive into Ephesians Chapter 2:1-10, we explore the profound truth of "The Grace of Salvation." Join us as we break down what it truly means to be saved by grace through faith, examining the critical verses Ephesians 2:8-9: "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast."This episode tackles the tension between predestination and free will, challenging common interpretations and providing a biblical perspective on God's omniscience and humanity's choices. We discuss how God has always given us a choice, even as He foreknows all things (Romans 8:29-30).We then unpack the vital concepts of grace, faith, and salvation. Learn how:Grace saves us, is the essence of the Bible, gives victory over sin, and provides God's mercy, favor, and love.Faith is trust and conviction in God and Jesus Christ, requiring intellectual assent and belief in truth.Salvation is deliverance from God's judgment and the penalty of sin, leading to an eternal destiny in the Kingdom of God.Discover how these three foundational elements impact our lives as believers. We'll explore how our faith drives our actions, and why "a faith that does not change you, cannot save you." Hear a powerful discussion on being "doers of the word, and not hearers only" (James 1:22) and the relationship between faith and works (James 2:18-22).We also delve into Colossians 1:10-14, finding encouragement to "walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work."Tune in to gain a clearer understanding of God's amazing grace, the role of your faith, and your predestined calling to good works as a believer in Christ.Key Topics Covered:Ephesians 2:1-10 CommentaryThe Grace of Salvation ExplainedGrace vs. WorksFaith and Free WillCalvinism and PredestinationBiblical Interpretation of SalvationThe Relationship Between Faith and ActionLiving a Life of Good WorksDon't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more in-depth Bible studies!

What is the role of good works in salvation? This is a huge question, and one that has caused a great deal of controversy. All the religions in the world (and some who profess to be Christian) say that, at least in some sense, we are saved by good works. However, the Scriptures teach that God "Saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior." (Titus 3:5-6)Now that's sometimes hard for us to believe isn't it? In fact, if that's true, then it seems that there is no need for good works at all... and maybe we should just "continue in sin that grace may abound." (Romans 6:1) But that is most certainly not what the Scriptures teach. Rather, a careful study of Scripture (and Ephesians 2:10) makes clear that good works are indeed part of our salvation. However, they are the fruit and not the root of our salvation. They are the effect and not the cause. Just as we read in Ephesians 2:10, in Christ Jesus, we have been created in Christ Jesus for good works, that He has prepared beforehand. Tune into this episode to hear more!This sermon was first preached by Joshua Molden at River City Church on Thursday, June 12th, 2025.

In this powerful devotion, Pastor Roderick Webster unpacks Ephesians 2 and Titus 3 to make a compelling case: Salvation is by grace, not works. If you've ever worried about “losing your salvation” because of sin or failure, this message will give you solid biblical assurance.You'll discover what it truly means to be saved by grace through faith, how God's mercy withholds judgment we deserve, and why no amount of good deeds can earn what Christ has already freely given. Plus, you'll learn the difference between working for your salvation and working it out in daily obedience.Subscribe for weekly inspiration and share this video with someone struggling to understand their standing with God.00:00 Introduction and Greetings00:38 Reflection on Daniel W.

Sved to do Good Works The Lifelong Journey Pastor Don Porter
Ephesians 2:10 declares that we are God's workmanship—His “poiema,”. And God has works for each of us to walk out before we join Him in eternity. These works are good, planned by God, and they are life giving activities we can miss out on.
The Bible tells us to “do god works.” So, what exactly are good works? More specifically, is what we do for a living a ‘good work?” Do our careers and businesses count? Let's dig into this. The answers may belief-changing for your career and/or your business. ************************************************************************ Dave Kahle's goal is to provide sales leaders and small businesspeople with practical actionable ideas that can make an immediate impact on your sales performance.
