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...

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.

by Latara Arthur

In our family, whenever we want to have a special chat about upcoming events or issues that need to be discussed, we hold a family chat. Well, because there are so many of you, it will be physically challenging to hold an in-person family chat. But if you will, please consider this article a “family chat.”

What's a Christian To Do About Pronouns?

July 27, 2022
by Mario Villella

We live in a rapidly changing world. What the average person finds to be moral and immoral is very different than it was in 1997 or even in 2007. The standards by which many people determine what is polite and what is rude have changed.

by Kennon Bickhart

This is a song that we have been singing for a long time at Good News. I believe we first sang it in 2013. I love this song for two primary reasons...
