Hello and thanks for spending part of your day here with us on Destin for Victory, where we

feature the preaching ministry of Pastor Paul Shepard.

Before we get going, I'm pleased to welcome in Pastor Paul's daughter and the executive

director of Destin for Victory, Alicia Greer.

Alicia, here we are in the final day of a four-day series of messages called, For Christ's

sake, do good. It's been a great reminder that anything good we do is for the glory of Jesus. But if you would, Alicia, talk for a moment about how we can discover what doing good should look like in our day-to-day lives. I love that in this series. There's such a practical breakdown of what it means to do good. We know that the Bible says

that we should let our light shine so that men can see our good works and glorify our father

in heaven. But, you know, what are those good works? Sometimes we have to take it back to the basics

and break down. What is it that the Lord expects of us? Because we can have our own definition of good,

but sometimes when we compare it to scripture line for line, we can see, oh, there are areas

where I need to grow here in order to really express the goodness of the spirit of God. And so

in this series, Pastor Paul makes it very practical, what goodness looks like both in our homes, because we

have to start there and out in the world. And I think we'll all be encouraged and challenged by this

important series. Thank you, Alicia. That's really what our Christian lives come down to,

doing good to others in a way that brings glory and honor to Jesus Christ.

Speaking of doing good, the word of God tells us that giving good gifts is more than generosity

or kindness. It's a lifestyle that honors God. In our latest booklet, Give, Bless, Repeat,

you'll be challenged to make doing good a regular part of your life. And you'll discover how to

give wisely, how to bless others without enabling them.

Again, it's called Give Bless Repeat, and it's our gift to you today for your generous donation
