Goodly Talks

Recorded on Easter Sunday, Alyn dives into the profound truths found in Colossians 1, unveiling the unparalleled majesty and supremacy of Jesus Christ. Through his  teaching, the transformative beauty of the gospel is brought to life, reminding us of the hope and victory we have in Jesus. As the teaching concludes, the service opens up to an intimate time of ministry, where the Holy Spirit moves t...

One of the beautiful things about the kingdom is that everyone gets to play. We were all created with gifts and part of the job of the church is to train and equip everyone. In this teaching AJ explains two important principles about training: 1) it's all about service and 2) it's all about character. Tune in to learn more. Slides are linked here .  Send us a text!

The Holy Spirit has often been misunderstood by some in the church. Which is a tragedy because the Holy Spirit is amazing! On this episode, Alyn explores some of the questions surrounding the Holy Spirit and clearly explains why being born of the Spirit is not the same as being filled with the Spirit. With a mix of biblical study and personal testimony, we hope you find this episode helpful. Slide...

The goodness of God is the best kept secret in the church today. But it shouldn't be this way. God is good. He can't be anything but good. In this message, AJ shares from scripture and her own journey with God about how to find the goodness that's already there. Slides are available here . Send us a text!

Life is filled with many distractions; the fear of man, the practical things of life or simply feeling overwhelmed. The trouble is, if we're not careful, all of those things can take us away from "the fear of the Lord". On this episode Alyn explains why the fear of the Lord is not as scary as one might imagine, helps us discover why we want the fear of the Lord, and explores what ge...

The kingdom belongs to little children, so it’s important we welcome them with passion, serve them with honor and create a space where they know they are safe, secure and loved. Slides available here . Send us a text!

Coming to a new church can be hard. You don't know where to go, you're not sure if you'll know anyone, are they weird, will I fit in. This week we talk about heart to ensure everyone feels welcomed, wanted and matter. Slides are available here . Send us a text!

At the end of every service at Goodly we want to offer a space for people to receive prayer for anything they'd like. This week we teach our team how to flow with the Holy Spirit in praying for others, healing the sick and deliverance. Slides are available here . Send us a text!

As we start a series on serving well at Goodly, we wanted to give thought to how we can serve with excellence without exhausting ourselves in the process. Lessons learned from The Ritz-Carlton, The Four Seasons and why they got it all from Holy Scripture anyway! Slides to accompany this talk are here . Send us a text!

Does the fruit of the Holy Spirit follow us everywhere, even online? This week AJ prepares us to live well in every aspect of our life but espeically when we're online. It's an important skill to be able to love well, even with people we disagree with and that skill is going to be more important as life gets more complex! Grab AJ's slides here . Send us a text!

It's a funny one: every Christian believes God wants to bless his children, but nobody agrees what that blessing looks like! This week Alyn explores why blessings are not just spiritual in nature but also incredibly practical and unpacks why tithing is the foundation of financial blessing.

The book of James teaches us that our mouths can be used for blessing or cursing. This week Alyn explains why both of these things are so powerful. And then finally we do some prayer ministry for freedom from curses, generational curses and word curses. Here's copies of the slides Alyn used and the prayers that were prayed. Send us a text!

Continuing our theme of blessing - and what gets in the way of receiving them - Alyn introduces the concept of generational curses and shows how they bring havoc to families. Links to the slides and worksheet are available below. Slides Worksheet Send us a text!

We're starting a new series on blessings, so it only makes sense that we begin with a discussion on curses! 😂 In this message Alyn explains where curses come from, how they typically manifest in people's lives and what to do about them. If we're going for a life of blessing (and we are!) then the topic of curses is vital for us to understand properly. Slides that accompany this mes...

We're told to pray continuously. But how does one do that exactly? And what's this about rejoicing and giving thanks? Is that the same thing as prayer? In the shortest message he's ever spoken, Alyn shares with us four scriptures about prayer to encourage us to pray with confidence. Copies of his notes are here . Send us a text!

Team is super important. Jesus chose not to do everything himself by having disciples. The Apostle Paul had an expectation that church wouldn't be a one man roadshow. Even the great man of God Elisha took input from those he was leading. This week, we opened our service to hear from the launch team of Goodly what the Lord has been speaking to them about church. Slides are available here . Sen...

We're all on a journey in life, but the most important journey to go on is moving from orphanhood to sonship. This begins at salvation of course, but there are many Christians today living with less than Jesus paid for. Though they are positionally a child of God, they tragically don't live that way. On this week's episode AJ shares with us a litmus test to help identify areas of ou...

AJ builds on last week's episode by unpacking  the topic of the father heart of God. The theology of God the Father has largely been ignored by the church which is tragic as Jesus came to reveal the Father to us. In this episode AJ shares from scripture and her own testimony about how she experienced this vital truth. Learn what it did for her life and what it could do for yours too. The slid...

One of the best kept secrets in the church today is that God is a good, loving, extravagant and kind father. The trouble is, for many of us, we haven't had great experiences with our earthly fathers so we're often left thinking, "What's so great about a Heavenly Father?" 🤷‍♂️ Kicking off our "Father Heart" series, AJ shares her testimony and explains the need fo...

The last message in our series of what makes us us . We want to see people grow into the fullness of what God's called them to. To do that we want to help the lost find Jesus and the saved find the Holy Spirit and introduce everyone to the Father. The truth is, God is better than any of us can imagine and he's looking for sons and daughters. If you want the slides that accompany this mes...

We're looking at the things that make Goodly Goodly. This week we're talking about our high value for the type of risk that leads to faith. Stepping out in faith feels risky at times. On this episode we talk about how to apply wisdom to ensure our risk leads to faith, not folly. If we want to see things we've never seen before, we have to be willing to do things we've never don...

We're taking some time to talk through what we're all about . This week we're looking at our third statement: We build community based on connection We believe hospitality is one of God's secret weapons for connection. We explore how to build authentic connection that meets our social and emotional needs and explore where this sense of community is found in scripture. And, if y...

We're taking some time to talk through what we're all about . This week we're looking at our second statement: We want the questioning and curious because we believe that Jesus holds the answers everyone is looking for . We believe that you can't learn without asking questions! And if you're not allowed to ask questions you might be in a toxic culture. But what about peopl...

We're taking some time to talk through what we're all about . This week we start with our first statement: We are a presence-led church that prioritizes the Word and Spirit . Why exactly are we a presence-led church and what does that mean for us? Where is that in the Bible? How does the Word and Spirit fit into a presence-led church? If you're a visual learner, get the slides here...
