"God Isn't Really Good"

 • Pete Goodman • Series: Same Old Tricks

The enemy’s oldest and most devastating lie is that God can’t be trusted—that He’s holding out on us, doesn’t really care, and isn’t actually good. From Eden to today, the devil keeps repackaging this same snake-oil scheme, convincing people to reject God’s wisdom and “find the good life” on their own, even though it only ever leads to destruction. Scripture reveals the truth: the thief lies to steal and destroy, while God has already proven His love and goodness through the cross—real action, not empty words. Communion reminds us that God demonstrated His love in Christ’s sacrifice, silencing the liar once and for all and inviting us to trust Him with our lives.
