ABOUNDING IN LOVE: HIS GOODNESS
Psalm 145
God's goodness can only be comprehended by our hearts.
"Good" is such a mediocre word, we can often misunderstand what it means that God is good. But when we open our Bibles and consider God's goodness we see that all the beautiful aspects of his character flow from it. It's not just that God is good. Our greatest joy and only hope are in the fact that is perfect goodness.
APPLICATION QUESTIONS
1. How do you tend to define "goodness"? Is it rooted in God or your own ideas?
2. What are some big moments in life in which you have seen God's goodness/kindness?
3. What are some small moments in life in which you have seen God's goodness/kindness?
4. What are some ways you have seen God's goodness/kindness in creation?
5. How does the gospel prove the perfect nature of God's goodness?
6. What are a few ways you would treat others differently if you were more consistently living out God's goodness toward them?

Sweet Merriment
December 6th, 2:00pm - 5:00pm, Meet in the Welcome Center
Join us for an afternoon of Christmas joy and fellowship! We’ll share cookies, cocoa, and good company as we listen to Christmas music and decorate the church together. If you're a baker, please bake cookies to share! Don't like to bake but want to bring something? Store-bought goodies are great too! We'll have to-go boxes so everyone can take some home as well.
Come as you are, stay as long as you’d like, and help as much as you wish. Let’s prepare our space — and our hearts — to celebrate the coming of Christ with joy and togetherness.
