Goodly Talks

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'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...
