It’s no accident that Jesus closes the Great Commission with a great promise â€" in fact there is no great promise in all the world than Jesus’ promise to be with us always â€" right to the end of the age.

We’ve been brought into the most important plot in all of history; the plan of God Himself to redeem sinful men and women, to build His church and fill this earth with the joy and glory of His name. That’s what we’re apart of!

This message begins by looking at an amazing promise that every believer in Jesus Christ can write on the map of the uncharted lands of our futures: we really can’t be certain of what lies there, but the one thing we can write with certainty is “here be God.”

Today we’re going to see that God’s goodness is not confined to “who God is”; His goodness is also clearly displayed in what He has done.

We want to stand on the edge of God’s word and take in the glorious view of the goodness of God.

Even though it seems that our society increasingly wants nothing to do with God, we are seeing a generation that is growing increasingly hungry for the truth of God’s Word
