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...

Christianity and Science: Part 2

August 5, 2021
by Mario Villella

The vast majority of people in this country (and many other countries) are taught in science classes (usually in public schools) that the world is incredibly old, and that it got into its current condition by a very slow evolution. Once this is believed, it is very difficult to believe the account of the beginning of the world as found in the first chapter of the Bible.

In this final installment, I’d like to still make the case for why a more literal reading of Genesis 1 might make good sense. So, reason number two for not rejecting Jesus because of Genesis 1 is: There are good reasons to believe that Genesis 1 is true (in a literal sense.)

When Following Jesus Is Dangerous

September 13, 2021
by Mario Villella

I was recently reminded that the mission that Jesus gave us is, at times, dangerous. When Jesus told His disciples to “go into all the world and make disciples of all nations… teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you,” he was telling them to do something that would, in some circumstances, cause them pain and suffering.

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.

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.

Why Do Some People Get Easily Frustrated About Church Stuff?

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.
