Sermon Overview
Scripture Passage: Romans 8:28

Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.”

This is the chemistry of the cross: that God can work bad situations for our good and His glory.

This verse reiterates the certainty and completeness of this ironclad, rock-ribbed promise of God. He works all things together for His glory and for our good. When we know this, we can appreciate the blessings we would otherwise mistake as burdens.

Adrian Rogers says, “It takes a lot of faith to say it is good for me that I have been afflicted. But it’s then that we begin to look up into the face of God. A sick bed can often teach more than a sermon.”

By the chemistry of the cross, the sweet, the sorrowful, and even the satanic and sinful things work together for good. The same God who rules in the affairs of this world can work the enemy’s attacks for our benefit.

Romans 5:20 says, “where sin abounded, grace abounded much more."

Because we are bound to sin, we are bound to suffer. But because of the cross, our suffering is met with God’s grace.

The simple and the smallest things are in God’s master control; He is the cause of it all.

Though this is a beautiful and big promise, it is not for everyone. There is a condition to Romans 8:28, which is, “to them that love God.”

When we accept the condition of Romans 8:28, we can fully understand the consequence of it, found in Romans 8:29: “For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.”

The “good” that we receive is our sanctification; we are becoming more like Jesus. God is not finished with us; He will continue to use circumstances to make us look more like our Savior.

What do you do when evil people seem to prosper while you struggle? In this episode, Dr. John Neufeld explores Psalm 37, where an elderly David offers timeless counsel for navigating difficult seasons. David gives three key commands: don't become emotionally distraught, keep your heart centered on God, and remain obedient regardless of circumstances—whether facing persecution, illness, or betrayal.

God's Provision: The sheep don't know what they need, but the shepherd does—and he arranges everything for their care. This is why David declared, "The LORD is my shepherd"—because God provides all we truly want and need. In this five-message series, Dr. John Neufeld explores Psalms 23 and 37, unpacking what it means to trust the Good Shepherd who guides, protects, and provides for our deepest needs.

Ultimately, the gospel will mean that God’s people will be devoted to doing good works. Those works don’t save us—but they are the natural result of our salvation. Those who refuse to live in this way have clearly not been transformed by God’s kindness.
