Christians often use the phrase "God is good." But how often do you stop to think about what this means? In this video, I aim to shed a fresh light on God's goodness.

How can we truly affirm that God is unchangeable, when several Scriptures appear to say the opposite? What lessons can we learn from this topic about how to study Scripture?
How terrifying would it be if God could change! How could we trust his promises, or worship him as the Perfect One? Indeed, God’s unchangeableness is essential to who He is.

On this Easter Sunday, I offer three reasons to celebrate the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ!

The names of “Father” and “Son” are not arbitrary names that we ascribe to the 1st and 2nd person of the Trinity. These names reflect the very nature of the relationship between these two persons and their role in the story of Scripture.
