Sermon Topic:� Be Good & Do Good

Scripture:�������� � Galatians 6:10

Sermon delivered by Pastor Williams

The primary focus of the sermon was learn to be good and kind to everyone.� God wants us to learn to live a moral life, pray for one another, comfort each other, and have concern for each other.� It�s sad that Christians have to be reminded of the golden rule � to be good to one another and to love one another.� You can�t pick and choose.� You have to be good to all men especially those of the Household of Faith.�

God will always send an opportunity our way to do good.� We need to be ready to pray a prayer for someone who needs the Lord in their life, to give money, to give a ride or whatever is needed.� All the material things you accumulate don�t matter in the end.� It�s what you do for others.� Many of us are not ready because our hearts are not right, we�re still carrying old grudges and we don�t understand the spirit of restoration.�

Paul points out in Galatians 6:1 that if we see a brother down, we need to go to them to help instead of publicizing their weaknesses or faults.� Don�t restrict our goodness, don�t pick and choose, but extend to all men.� God is no respecter of persons.�

Make sure you are good to the redeemed ones who have been bought with a price and have become part of the family.� Be careful how you treat a child of God.� Remember God�s promise to Abraham was �I�ll bless those that bless you and curse those that curse you�.� God will bless you if you�ll be good and be good to everybody.� Don�t worry about them returning it; the blessing is not in them returning it but in what you do.
