Today’s sermon, preached by Reverend Derek Jacks on October 4, 2026, is titled “The Lord Is Good,” from Hebrews 5:11 through 6:12.

Alongside these sobering warnings comes a comforting assurance: God remembers the love shown in his name. His goodness encourages us to remain diligent, holding firmly to our hope as we inherit his promises through faith and patience.

Now, let us listen together to “The Lord Is Good.”
