Gospel Assembly Bible Study Messages

Mankind is subject to both trials and tribulations. A trial is a challenge to our faith. These tests can lead us into the temptation to sin if we are not careful. Becoming more aware of the devices of the devil – the lust of the eye, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life can help us to overcome these temptations.

Do you want to be more victorious in your testing and tribulations? Listen to Brother Goodwin and follow along in your Bible as he explains through everyday circumstances how to be more aware of the trials in your life. Learn also how to allow God to use these trials to strengthen and not weaken our faith.

Do you struggle with fear of losing control over the issues of life? Do you fear disease, financial ruin, or family strife? God’s people are not to be fearful.

We could all use more peace in our lives. We need not fear, but be courageous. Follow along in your Bible today as Brother Goodwin uses the Scriptures to show how God is able to give peace to His people for today’s storms.

Pertinent to today and the conflict in the Middle East are the wells and land that Isaac had from back in his time. Isaac trusted in the agreements he made with the surrounding area’s leader. Yet, he was forced to go and had to re-dig the wells of Abraham. The people in the area strove with Isaac over his land. He had become powerful and his neighbors envied him.

Today, modern Israel sits on land that was given to them by their fathers. Yet, their neighbors keep claiming that the land is theirs. God gave the land to the Israelites, but the people in the area have continued from the time of Isaac to today striving and desiring that land. Listen to Brother Goodwin detail the similarities between what Isaac did in his day and what the country of Israel is doing today in regards to the conflict in the Middle East.

Followers of Jesus today should still be disciples as they were in the early days of the church. Should we be different than those who are not disciples? How do we show that we are true followers of Christ? Living in an age of indulgence, it is difficult for people today to have self discipline in their lives.

Yet, being a true disciple of Jesus Christ can be a reality in our lives. Listen now, as Brother Goodwin examines the undisciplined, damaging philosophies of today and how to combat them with sincere, self discipline which follows the teachings of Christ.

God has a school that few apply for admission to. It is a school of brokenness. It is higher education; indeed it is the highest educational level that can be achieved in this life. It is a sacred school of submission.

Jesus said in Matthew 21:44 that we can fall on the rock and break, or else the rock will fall on us and grind us to powder. Falling on the rock and breaking is not a single act, it is a process. That process is taught in God’s Sacred School of Submission and Brokenness. Listen now to Brother Goodwin explain more of how we can learn the most from our walk with the Savior.

Abraham’s life is an encouragement to all believers. Not because he was some great, perfect man, but rather he was a man of faults and mistakes, like us. However, he rose above his mistakes. His is the story of salvation and of God’s grace of how He will lift us up to become champions of the faith. We all will have failures along the way, but the difference between a failure and a champion is whether or not we get up and go on. Abraham was one of those who endured to the end.

We can take great comfort from the story of Abraham. Listen today as Brother Goodwin expounds upon the intricate details, weaving them together with today’s situations and problems to present a story of relevance and hope for believers in our time.

In today’s society, people seem to be more concerned with how to be blessed, than with being a blessing to others. The call in modern day churches is not one of an absolute standard, but rather an “anything goes” mindset. Yet, the Bible tells us that our duty to Christ is to be a daily sacrifice to God, that we are His temple, and we are not to be conformed to this passing world’s ideals.

What exactly are our duties as Christians? As we learn in this broadcast, there are three aspects of our duty - a duty to self, to God, and to others. Follow along with Brother Goodwin as he explains each area of our responsibilities.
