The Best News Ever

‘Peacemaking doesn't mean passivity. It is the act of interrupting injustice without mirroring injustice, the act of disarming evil without destroying the evildoer, the act of finding a third way that is neither fight nor flight but the careful, arduous pursuit of reconciliation and justice. It is about a revolution of love that is big enough to set both the oppressed and the oppressors free’ And...

Salt and Light is NOT a rallying call to ‘Change the World for Christ’. Now hear this - it is NOT our job to change the world! Jesus is the Savior of the world -- NOT us! Changing the world is a task belonging to Jesus! Our job is far more modest; our job is to become part of the world changed by Christ! He is the actual Light of the World - so beloved to be salt and light is to live surrendered t...

Beloved the Good News we proclaim is that in the midst of the unending headlines filled with human suffering, harm and pain - God has come to tell a story to weave a tapestry of His Grace - that every detail of our lives is touched by this Grace to tell an eternal story that we have become a part of - this is the mystery of our confession. We believe in a Grace that will make all things work toget...

the change the world around me needs will not come as a result of me pretending to be like Jesus but it will be when the living word Jesus changes me.

Into your life and mine the sowing God has come and His economy is not based on how the world works. In the Sower’s world wastefulness gives way to hope, inefficiency to love, failure to faith and profitability to generosity. According to the scripture every part of your life has been sown with the seeds of God... ‘where can I hide from your presence..’ the Psalmist proclaims. The seeds of God in...

The Good News we proclaim today is that Jesus still invites us to life - to surrender to the truth of His Father who is generous and kind. Who offers life in the unforced rhythms of grace who invites us to learn to live freely and lightly...no religious passport required - come to Me and you will recover your life. Because He has always known who you are and where you belong.

Into a world filled with words of division, judgment, violence and uncertainty. Jesus reveals a wordless gospel revealed in welcoming - receiving the least, the last and ever our enemies. A gospel not bound by human dictionary’s but defined by boundless reach of the love of the Father to the human heart and that beloved is good news!

Notes here The Things That Make For Peace,Matt. 21:8-9, March 29, 2026 Josh King

His delay has made Him vulnerable to accusation. His delay ultimately reveals that He is the One who can save us from all that would or could destroy us. The 7th sign is a foreshadowing of the Easter triumph. Jesus will defeat death. “I am the resurrection and the life” . He is revealing what God is doing with what we dread. No matter how dead we are in our sins, Jesus is the One who has the power...

Here is the good news we are proclaiming today - In this sign the cross - to choose love over power and control. To give love and life to the point of death that triumphs over sin, fear and the grave. I dare say the word that Constantine heard is our word - In this sign the cross - conquer - by this all men will know you are my disciples ‘In this environment of love for one another everyone will c...

None of us are saved because we looked up - God reached down through His Son to meet us in our darkness. Our moment of recognizing light is not the evidence of its beginning. For God so loved the world - He looked down long before we could ever look up and that is Good News. In an our hour of increasing darkness and confusion it is the gospel of Jesus Christ that is the light of reality - we are b...

The incarnate God is the key to the healing the soul of man and life itself - the gospel is the declaration - not that man grasped divinity but that God descended completely into what He created to rescue man from the dust and invite man again into what He had in mind when He created man - a loving progression of partnership revealing beauty, abundance and goodness. It is a journey from Dust to De...
