Open House: Part 3, "Participating in Christian Community". The Christian community needs you and you need the Christian community. This is how a Christian grows up spiritually. Unit and teamwork are vital for this to happen.
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.
View Conversations Jesus HadSometimes 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.
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.

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 MoneyJust 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:
Open House: Part 3, "Participating in Christian Community". The Christian community needs you and you need the Christian community. This is how a Christian grows up spiritually. Unit and teamwork are vital for this to happen.
Part 1 of "Open House," Matthew 22:35-40. This is a general introduction as to why we, at Good News, have devoted ourselves to loving God, loving each other, and loving people who don't know God yet.
Part 3 of "Spending Someone Else's Money". This sermon is about giving to the church and tithing. Acts 2:43-47, 2 Corinthians 9:6-7, 2 Corinthians 8:1-5, Leviticus 27:30-32, 34, Numbers 18:21-28.
Part 2 of "How to Read the Bible". A sermon about how to interpret the words we read.
Part 2 of "Intentional." Romans 12:9-13. This sermon explains what community is and how to live it out on a daily basis.
Part 2 of "Life. Death. Resurrection. Ascension.", John 19:28-42 and others. This sermon explains why Jesus needed to die.
Part 9 of the series "Making Sense of Church." This sermon concludes the series and emphasizes the importance of meeting physical and spiritual needs.
Part 3 of the series "Making Sense of Church." In this sermon, we learn about baptism.
Part 1 of the series, "Focused." Matthew 22:34-39 and others. This sermon is about Good News' mission to love God, love each other, and love people who don't know God yet.
Part 1 of "Community." Acts 2:40-47 In this sermon, we learn about the first church and also about our responsibility toward Christian Community rather than individualism.
This is a stand-alone message encouraging people to take the next step in their journey toward God.
This is the second part of the series "Holy Spirit." In this sermon, we learn about some of the things the Holy Spirit does.
Part 2 of the series, "Lest We Forget". This is a reminder (or an introduction if it's your first time) to the mission of the church. We exist to bring glory to God by loving God, loving each other, and loving people who don't know God yet.
Part 16 of the series, "Places Jesus Went." Luke 24:45-53 & Acts 1:1-11. This sermon covers the ascension of Jesus Christ, what He's doing now, what happens when He comes back, and what we are to do in the meantime.
Christianity is not just about God & I, it's also about God & us (the church). We'll look at select passages in Acts and what it says about life together with other Christians.
This stand-alone sermon was preached for the Royal Family Kids Camp Commissioning Service held at Good News Church in 2014. This sermon covers the proclamation ministries that were given to Isaiah and to the followers of Jesus in the book of Acts and encourages us to take hope in the fact that we are part of a mission that will ultimately be successful as God is spreading his good news all over the world.
We all need community. It's a very important aspect of our lives that we don't often prioritize. In this sermon we look at what the Bible says about community and why it's important for us all.
