Good news has to first of all be good, which is why it can’t be about religious legalism, empty ritual, or personal judgment. The good news Jesus brings is that more of the life and love from up there can show up down here in our every day lives right now.

Bad religion, bleak lives and a broken world have always made it difficult for people to see God for who God really is. Jesus came in the flesh so people can see the real face and character of God and so our lives can reveal God now, too.

God longs to return to the good, beautiful, and true reality he created. So Jesus came in the flesh to get it all back and to show us the way. Because of his power over sin, death and hell, the dream God wanted from the beginning is once again coming true!

The story of Jesus is a story to hear and a story to share. In a bad news world, naming good news in my life can help others name good news in their lives, too. The best stories are the ones we tell together.

There is no brokenness or need we’ll encounter in our world that God doesn’t already see and care about more than we do. Because He is already present and working to bring his healing love to every situation, we get to partner with him to meet the needs of people and places around us in practical and impactful ways.

In a world full of increasing loneliness, isolation and division, intentional shared meals have the power to transform us. Eating together removes barriers, builds bridges and communicates belonging like almost nothing else can.

We live in a world where there’s more talking and less listening all the time. But when we listen with compassionate curiosity, God will reveal the desires of people he loves and the needs of places where he’s at work.

As God’s much-loved children, we have access to the blessing of life in God’s kingdom of love. When we notice where God is at work in and around us, we get to help him extend that blessing to others where we live, work, learn and play.

When we don’t know how we got the Bible, we won’t know how to read the Bible. But understanding the plot of the story and connecting the parts of the story helps us lean into and live out the point of the story.
