The Best News Ever

Beloved the arrival of God’s Kingdom transcends the darkest most delayed places and spaces to reveal beauty, goodness and truth. A Kingdom that is not limited or contained by our expectations or measured by our ideas of distance or delay but that reveals the life of heaven on earth and that beloved is good news.

Repentance is not how good a team can rehearse their mistakes - repentance is to perceive whats true - God has come near. He was not content to leave man isolated and alone. Repentance is to turn and see the lovingkindness of God has an irresistible affect that we are invited to consent to - here is what is revealed in Christ coming - you are not alone, you are loved and you matter to God.

Christ is King - as He is literally crushed and killed for daring to proclaim Himself to be a King to the ruling Powers of the day – is proclaiming forgiveness and revealing another power. The Cross the setting of extreme vulnerability, rejection and physical torture as the ruling powers exert their dominance - Jesus is using His power...to intercede of their behalf! The Cross the ultimate demonst...

Finding life in the face of death is not about seeking power but being faithful to the witness of Jesus and that is good news.

Jesus is revealing life and hope for the the future are not based in human certainty and control. Jesus is telling the story of Who God actually is and who we are. Jesus is revealing a God who has chosen to relate to us not on the basis of our brokenness and failure, not on the basis of our success, certainty or control but on the basis of the Fathers love for all mankind. He has not come to fulfi...

Mercy that is more than forgiveness or a generous response to our failures. Mercy that dares us to believe that the truest thing about us is not that we are broken, flawed, alienated or disconnected but that we are beloved and that is good news.

Mercy dares us to believe that the truest thing about us in not that we are broken or flawed but that we are beloved and that beloved is Goo

The truth is that all of us have traveled in or been touched by the ‘borderlands’ leaving the indelible marks of shame, guilt, pain, and brokenness - no matter how life has left us limited and marginalized the good news we proclaim Mercy - Gods mercy that has chosen to act according to His character towards us in our deepest need an

Faith is not about how much you have ( currency of accomplishment, accumulation or information) but rather how we are living in love and trust in our relationship with Jesus, ourselves and others. The mustard seed of faith is already planted in us and to be specific it is Christ Himself ( it is by grace we have been saved through faith and this not from ourselves - it is a gift of God). Yet He has...

The good news we proclaim today is that we have but one gate one door that matters the most - the One who said I am the gate enter through Me. He has crossed the chasm and invites us to love and value what He loves and values. Jesus parable is an unveiling of the heart - an invitation to repent. In this case to recognize heart issues - when something other than love controls the heart we are the o...

“the world's true history is not that built on war (including culture wars), but that offered by a community that witnesses to God's refusal to give up on his creation. There is only one true history - the history of God's peaceable kingdom. For what is war but the desire to be rid of God, to claim for ourselves the power to determine our meaning and destiny? Our desire to protect ourselves from o...

hope to every heart - maybe someone could be there in my darkest night and that is exactly the God that Jesus reveals and describes. Not a God waiting to be found but the one who is searching to find the lost and forgotten and that beloved is Good News.

Notes Here The Jesus Way - Hospitality, Luke 14:1,7-14, Heb.13:1-3, Aug. 31,2025 Ben Bouwers

Oh beloved one of the most basic foundations of the gospel is this reality that no matter how bound and distorted and unable to ASCEND we have become. Jesus DESCENDED, God sees us not with eyes of judgment but the same eyes of Jesus - the eyes of Compassion - He sees and beloved that is good news!

I do believe in the Kingdom come! A space where we as followers of Jesus embrace the promised gift of the Father and He becomes visible in real time in human lives - I believe the greatest hope for post modernity in the west is that the Kingdom of God is revealed in human lives beginning in me. It is His gift to us and it is good news!

“Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has chosen gladly to give you the kingdom” Luke 12:32 ‘With’ is the actual order and reality of God’s kingdom... When our culture and our bodies tell us the story of fear that God is absent and we are alone. Jesus reveals the truth of God’s presence and participation. He is God with us. As it was in the beginning is now and will be forever, amen. An...

So what are you staring at? To answer that question well is to live rich. I have titled this message living rich. The Good News we proclaim is Jesus invitation to become rich toward God is not achievement or the accumulation of good behavior but in the storing up of what is true - we have a Good Father whose intent is to provide and protect us that we can trust. That Father wants to protect us fro...

No notes Jesus and the Sermon on the Mount, July 27, 2025 Josh King

The resolve of Jesus that Luke describes in our text is not just about confrontation its about an inhabited revelation of the heart of the Father that involves more than just known power religious and political powers of the day - its about something much more personal. Jesus is inviting His friends and followers to a life led by the power and authority of self giving self emptying love and forgiv...

This man has come to a land and a people over run and fractured - His very presence proclaiming ‘you are not invisible or forgotten’ and now to the ‘man of the tombs’ identified by his oppression Jesus presence unmistakably proclaims you sir may have forgotten who you are but I have not. Who is this Man? His name is Jesus, He who has come to the most disintegrated proclaiming by His very presence...
