Good News Church - Woodstock

When we base our sense of self-worth on the approval of those around us, we settle for a lesser, temporary reward.

We pretend that we're better than we actually are, but the good news is that God is committed to loving us anyway.

Only when we admit that we can't live up to Jesus' standard on our own do we have the opportunity to rely on his strength and power instead.

Because of Jesus, we have been saved, are being saved, and will be saved.

Jesus invites us to become who we are meant to be, instead of trying to be something we are not.

How good is life for those who long to do right, make right, and show mercy!

We can't have the good life without "right-us-ness" (righteousness).

Jesus calls us to admit that we need help, humble ourselves as he did, and long for our broken world to be healed.

Jesus tells and shows us how to sacrificially love others while we let him sacrificially love us.

How far did God's love go? From a throne of endless glory to a cradle in the dirt.
