Join Pastor Stuart for the sixth lesson in our series, Walk This Way, about following Jesus. This week, we turn to Ephesians 2:8-10 to learn about . . . "Walk in Good Works". In this lesson, we learn: Followers of Jesus walk in good works. These works do not earn anything from God. In fact, these works are a part of the gracious salvation God gives us in Christ. We do these works because we are God's workmanship, a new creation in Christ. So by the power of the Spirit, let's engage in the work God has prepared for us.

6/2/2025 | This day's featured sermon on SermonAudio: Title: May God Fill Our Void Subtitle: Good Works Speaker: Bill Parker Broadcaster: Eager Avenue Grace Church Event: Sunday Service Date: 9/29/2024 Bible: Ecclesiastes 3:9-15 Length: 28 min.
In this powerful exploration of Galatians 3:1-14, we're challenged to rethink our understanding of salvation and grace. Paul's passionate words to the Galatians remind us that our relationship with God isn't based on our works or adherence to the law, but on faith alone. The story of Abraham serves as a powerful example of this truth - he was credited as righteous because of his unwavering faith, not because of his actions. This message invites us to reflect on our own attitudes towards faith and works. Are we trying to earn God's love through our actions, or are we living in joyful response to the grace we've already received? It's a paradigm shift that can transform our spiritual lives, freeing us from the burden of performance and opening us to the liberating power of God's unconditional love.

May 31, 2025 Daily Devotion: "Created for Good Works"Ephesians 2:10 New Living Translation 10 For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. Have you ever known someone who struggled with discovering his purpose in life? It could be a young personchoosing a career or a college. It might be an older person trying to figure out what to do after retirement. It doesn't matter who they are or at what stage of life they are in, people want to know why they are alive and what they're meant to do. Every person was created by God with a purpose. No one ever draws a single breath without good works beingplanned in advance for her to do. People who live knowing they have a purpose are joyful people. God doesn't always give us the details of His plan for our lives, but we can live knowing that there is one. And it's good! As we wait for His timing, we simply do the next thing. Long before our hearts were beating, we existed in the heart of God. There is a part of His grand plan that only you can play. He has a unique plan for every other person as well. Each plan has a purpose-and a plan with purpose brings us great joy. It's so exciting.

After being born-again, the believer begins to do good works, sowing the right seeds that will bring him into proper balance in life (redeeming the time, showing mercy, living for God and others, making sacrifices, learning true suffering for Christ). He begins to lay aside every weight and sin that's hindering him from running this race,

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.

2 Timothy 3:16-17, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." The ultimate test of whether we are truly profiting from the Word is not how much we know--but how we live. Scripture never flatters the intellect while bypassing the life. It searches the heart and demands fruit. A head full of doctrine without a life full of good works--is a barren tree, destined not for praise, but for punishment. The Word of God rightly received, sanctifies the soul, and energizes the hands. It molds the heart after Christ, and moves the believer to live for the glory of God in every sphere of life.Good works are not the root of salvation, but they are the necessary fruit. They are not the means of gaining favor with God, but the inevitable result of having received His grace. As it is written, "We are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." (Ephesians 2:10). The Scriptures instruct us in what is good, rebuke us when we fail, and spur us onward with divine promises and holy examples.A man profits from the Word when he is led to live a life of active godliness--when his thoughts, speech, and conduct, begin to reflect that of the Lord Jesus. The love of God revealed in the Scriptures, will stir him to love both God and others. The mercy of God extended to him, will cause him to show mercy. The humility of Christ displayed in the Gospels, will produce in him a servant's heart. The commands of God will no longer be grievous, but his delight.Let no one imagine that good works consist m

If someone truly believes something, that belief should be evident in their behavior. Some would say it *will* be 100% of the time. Does that mean that faith is always manifested in good works?

"And so we are going to establish a school for the service of the Lord. In founding it we hope to introduce nothing harsh or burdensome. But if a certain strictness results… do not be at once dismayed and fly from the way of salvation, whose entrance cannot but be narrow." In this first of five episodes, we begin The Rule of St. Benedict, a foundational spiritual guide composed around 530 AD by St. Benedict of Nursia, the father of Western monasticism. In the Prologue, St. Benedict sets forth the Rule's purpose, followed by Chapters 1–7, in which he outlines the kinds of monks, the qualities of an abbot, the Instruments of Good Works as a monk's daily guide, and the Rule's core principles of obedience, silence, and humility.

Paul prayed for “our Lord Jesus Christ, and God our Father,” to continue strengthening these Christians. God doesn't just expect people to do good through […]
