“It is good to be near God” — a sermon that invites us into the quiet, powerful truth that proximity to God changes everything.

Through the honest struggle of Asaph, we see a heart that wrestled with doubt yet found clarity in God’s presence. In Joshua, we witness unwavering resolve: a leader who chose to stand firm and declare, “as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Mary’s posture reminds us of devotion—choosing stillness at Jesus’ feet over distraction. And at the cross, the faithful Marys show us what it means to stay near even in suffering, embodying courage, loyalty, and love when others walked away.

This message is a call to draw closer—not just in moments of peace, but in confusion, decisions, devotion, and pain. Because in every season, one truth remains: it is always good to be near God.
