The Good Stuff for the week of August 8, 2010

We're exploring "goodness" at New Beginnings this week as part of our summer series "The Good Stuff." Goodness is a characteristic of God (Psalm 136:1 "Give thanks to the Lord, for He is GOOD..."), which we can emulate through the gift of the Holy Spirit in our lives (Galatians 5:22 "...the fruit of the Spirit is...goodness...").

Here's a list of psalms used in today's message...read them and be blessed by God's goodness!

Galatians 5:22-23

Psalms 136

Psalms 23:6

Psalms 103:1-5

Psalms 145:1-7

If you want to catch up on all the "good stuff" we've walked through so far - peace...patience...self-control...gentleness...kindness - you can listen in HERE.

Be blessed...
