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...

March 1, 2024
by Mario Villella

On Christmas Eve of last year, I preached a sermon where I pointed out that there are some people who, when they receive a gift, think to themselves, “How great is the giver who gave me this gift!” and other people who, when they receive a gift, think to themselves, “How great am I, that I am worthy of such a gift!”

Maybe We Should Cut Pastors a Little Slack Sometimes?

March 27, 2024
by Mario Villella

This title probably sounds very self-serving, because I am a pastor. However, the issue I want to raise in this particular article doesn’t apply to me as much as others. I’d like to advocate for graciousness toward other pastors who are in different situations than the one I’m in. Particularly the guys who pastor churches smaller and bigger than mine.

What If You Have a Friend Who Calls Jesus, Yeshua?

April 3, 2024

It is well-known that when a person moves to a foreign country, they often begin using their new country’s language. Many of the things that they used to talk about, they continue to talk about, but now with new words.

Do You Believe in the Rapture?

April 11, 2024
by Mario Villella

This is an interesting theological question that I’ve been asked about recently. One of the people who brought it up was hoping my answer would be: “Of course I believe in the rapture; I believe the Bible.” And the other person who asked me about it was hoping my answer would be: “Of course I don’t believe in the rapture; that word isn’t even in the Bible.”

The Misuse of “Don’t Cause Your Weaker Brother to Stumble”

May 3, 2024
by Mario Villella

There is a concept in Scripture that I’ve heard people use even in situations that have nothing to do with what the verse is actually about – the concept of “not causing your brother to stumble.”
