In this sermon, Pastor Ken Cameron talks about what the Bible calls "goodness." He explains that goodness is a "fruit of the Spirit". He says that being good is not just about following rules or sitting quietly in church. Instead, he defines it as "holiness in action". This means having a sincere heart and a strong desire to help others.
To show what true goodness looks like, the pastor shares several examples:
Arnold and Evelyn Shuff: An elderly couple who lived quiet lives but were always helping people behind the scenes, like sharing meals and giving toys to a young child.
Joseph of Arimathea: A "good and upright man" from the Bible who took a big risk to give Jesus a proper burial.
Barnabas: A man described as "full of the Holy Spirit" who encouraged others and helped the early church grow.
Pastor Cameron challenges the people in his church to do more than just listen to sermons. He urges them to "get up out of the pew" and show their faith through real service and kindness. He emphasizes that people in the world today don't usually learn about Jesus by reading long papers. Instead, they learn about Him by watching how Christians act in their daily lives to see if their faith actually works.
