Good News Church - Woodstock

The first message in "Learning to Love and Be Loved." A disciple of Jesus is someone who is loved by Jesus and responds to that love by loving God and others.

Jesus was born to take the punishment that only we deserve so that we may have what only he deserves.

God's mercy is just and his justice is merciful.

God keeps his promises and stays faithful to us even when we don't stay faithful to him.

Even though we have the right to expect nothing, God gives us everything.

The goodness of God is seen in how he is slow to anger when he has many reasons to be angry.

Gratitude is a choice that we make every day.

God takes pleasure in people who aren't pleasing.

God demonstrates great compassion toward people who don't deserve it.

The tabernacle used to be a building that you would go to; now it is a people that you belong to.
