The Good News for You

Good News for a Change

Evangelism often relies on guilt, shame or fear to motivate people. But those aren't good news, and they're not where God's posture towards us begins. Jesus' baptism is an invitation for all of us to remember the heart of the good news: that we are God's beloved children, and God delights in us.

From Series: "Good News for a Change"

Talking to people about Jesus is nerve-wracking. In this Epiphany series, we're going to explore how Jesus met people where they were - and what was so good about the news he shared. Ultimately, we'll see that sharing Jesus with people is easier than we ever imagined. All it takes is a lot of love.

We ended 2012 in the Revelation, exploring how Jesus’ coming into our lives is the End of the World as we know it. But if Jesus’ coming is the End, it’s also a new beginning. Jesus’ death and resurrection reconnect us with God, open up a world that has been lost to us since Sin entered into the world. So to kick off 2013, we’re going to dive into Genesis 1-2. We’ll explore God’s original intentions for the world, and the implications for our new life in Jesus. After all, in the new year, it’s good to get the First Things First!
