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.

We also have a large archive of all of our previous sermon series. Feel free to have a listen.

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

Lawn maintenance & care
Teaching Bible Lessons to kids
Watching babies, so the mother & father can attend the service
etc...

Why Do We Preach Verse-By-Verse Through the Bible? And If It Is Such a Great Idea, Why Don’t We Do It 100% of the Time?

September 16, 2019
by Mario Villella

This is a great question. If you have attended Good News Church for a while (say, six months or more) you will have noticed that we teach through books of the Bible, but not exclusively. For instance, in the past three years we’ve taught through the Gospel of Mark, 1 & 2 Timothy, and the Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes. However, during those same three years, we also did series on the topics of marriage, church, work, and handling conflict.

I Wrote a Book

September 11, 2019
by Mario Villella

I am pleased to announce the release of my first book, “Working Our Way through Life.” This book is based on the teachings that I did at church back at the beginning of 2019. It is a short devotional (only 50 pages; what an easy read!) covering twenty passages of Scripture related to the topic of work. It is designed to be read for one or two minutes a day over the course of 20 days, but can easily be read in one sitting as well.

Why Don't We Write Our Own Songs

August 15, 2019
by Kennon Bickhart

Every six months (give or take) this question is brought up to me, “Why don’t we write our own songs?”. Sometimes it’s more of a statement of fact, rather than a question. “You know, you should write your own songs. How great would that be?” Most of the time I just smile and nod, and try to change the subject to something else. However as I was thinking about this question recently, I figured it might be good to have some document to refer back to about why we aren’t doing this.

We Need Your Ordinary Help

July 10, 2019
by Mario Villella

There is something within us that longs for the extraordinary. Many of us don’t want to live “normal” lives, but want to accomplish true greatness. Some people are drawn to adventure and difficulty.

Shame Is Underrated

July 4, 2019
by Mario Villella

It seems to me that lately I've heard a lot of gobbledygook from Christians about the topic of "guilt and shame" and I wanted to write an article to help us makes sense of these things.

The Newest Elder on the Board of Good News Church: Ron Lynch

April 18, 2019
by Mario Villella

On Saturday, March 9, the elders nominated Ron Lynch to be an elder serving on the governing board of Good News Church. We announced the nomination the following Wednesday (March 13) in the church newsletter, on Facebook, and the church website. In that announcement, we said that as long as we saw no disqualifying factors present in his life (and you were asked to let us know if you were aware of anything) we would bring him on sometime in April.
