Conversations Jesus Had

This series is a survey of the life of Christ. The theme will be to learn conversations that Jesus had with various people, and we will try to go in chronological order from His early life until after His death.

The Blog

Sometimes there are thoughts that we'd love to share with you, but they really don't fit anywhere in particular. So we have a blog for just such items.

Music

We maintain a few shared playlists on Apple Music & Spotify. They serve two purposes: To allow you to learn songs before we sing them, and to listen to a wider array of songs that we have sung corporately for the life of Good News.

Financial Support

The stewardship of our finances is a tremendous—and often overlooked—area of our lives where we can faithfully proclaim the gospel. Giving strengthens our devotion to Christ and frees us to live open-handedly with the gifts God gives us. We trust in Him and His provision instead of our perceived self-sufficiency. As people of faith, we give faithfully and generously.

Give Your Money

Volunteer

Just as we can donate from our finances, we can also donate our time. In this way you can help serve people inside, and outside, the church body. We have many ways in which you can serve:

Ways To Give Your Time

  • Greeting people (new & old)
  • Coffee Corner Setup & Service
  • Lawn maintenance & care
  • Teaching Bible Lessons to kids
  • Watching babies, so the mother & father can attend the service
  • etc...

God, The Worshipper

The other night, my wife, Charis and I were putting our daughter Carolina to bed. She’s getting better at going to sleep, but most nights she has to cry herself to sleep. Sometimes it’s only a brief small whimper as she struggles to keep her eyes open. Other times it’s an ear-piercing shrill of a scream that makes you think she’s being murdered.

In 1 Kings 17 we see Elijah for the first time. Elijah was a prophet of God. He was a part of many great acts of God. Let's dive a little bit into those events, and look a little bit closer at one in particular.

I came across this article recently, and Bob Kauflin does a beautiful job explaining why words are important in our worship. There are so many good thoughts.

Hebrews 12:1, "[...] Let us run the race with endurance that lies before us...". Many of us have heard this verse many times, and I bet many of us have thought of a marathon, or triathalon when picturing what this verse means. I want to challenge that thought a little bit.

Recently, I started reading a book, loaned and recommended to me by a friend, titled "Worship As David Lived It" by Judson Cornwall. I haven't finished reading it, but one part I thought was interesting said this, "..."
