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...

Reasons People Are and Aren’t Persecuted

March 30, 2022
by Luke Ferguson

Mario’s sermon on March 27th on Acts 14:21-22, taught how Paul told the Christians in Iconium, Lystra, and Antioch that “it is necessary to pass through many troubles on our way to the Kingdom of God.” The Bible says that it is a necessary part of the Christian life. In light of Jesus’s words, “if they persecute Me, they are going to persecute you.” ~ John 15:20, it makes sense that a Christian is either being persecuted or on their way to being persecuted.

Does Good News Church Need Money? And If So, Why Don't You Ask For It Very Often?

March 23, 2022
by Mario Villella

Recently, a regular attender brought up the fact that Good News doesn’t give updates letting people know when there are financial needs so that people can donate towards them. And that same man made it sound like perhaps he would give more money to Good News if only we talked about it/asked for it more often. It was an interesting conversation, and it made me realize that our church has a somewhat unusual philosophy of ministry when it comes to money and donations.

Why Do Some People Get Easily Frustrated About Church Stuff?

February 9, 2022

When I was 11 years old, I was on a football team. If I remember right, my mother had signed me up for the team without asking me if I was interested.

Gospel Presentation at a Funeral Attended Mostly by Non-Christians

January 19, 2022
by Mario Villella

Not too long ago, I got the opportunity to present the gospel at a funeral that was mostly attended by non-Christians. Since it was not a “public sermon,” the words that I said that day were not recorded or otherwise made available to the congregation of Good News Church. But, I’ve reproduced the content of that message here.

A Year-End Report for 2021

Every once and a while, I look backwards and try to summarize what took place during the year at Good News Church. Here are some thoughts on 2021.

What Do You Do With Sadness?

December 2, 2021
by Doug Davison

Let’s jump right in and start looking at the life of Jesus during one of his saddest, if not the saddest, moments while on the earth. May God help us apply the same strategies that Jesus used.
