Good News Church - Omaha

Only God can judge me. It is one of the most quoted phrases in our culture, but is it actually true? And does it mean what most people think it means? There is a big difference between judgmentalism and the kind of honest, humble love that actually helps people. Which one are you more prone to, and what does that reveal about your heart?

You get the thing you have been chasing, and when you finally have it, it is still not enough. That is not a personal failure. That is exactly how the system was designed. Culture promises fulfillment and delivers emptiness. Jesus promises something different: lose your life for His sake, and you will actually find it. What are your roots reaching for?

What if the feeling that God could not possibly love you right now is actually a lie your own mind is telling you? Romans 8:38-39 says nothing in all creation can separate you from His love. Not your worst day. Not your biggest failure. Not even your doubts. God's love is not a reward for good behavior. It is the foundation from which good behavior grows. Are you exhausted from trying to earn some...

Heaven will not look like your neighborhood. It will be filled with people from every nation, tribe, and language worshiping together before the throne of God. So here is the question worth sitting with: does the way you live, pray, and love actually reflect that vision? God's heart has always been global. Is yours?

What if the question 'Am I enough?' was never yours to answer in the first place? When Moses asked God who he was to lead an entire nation, God did not list his strengths or remind him of his potential. He simply said, 'I will be with you.' That changes everything. Stop trying to prove yourself. His grace is already sufficient.

What if the hardest season of your life is not a sign that God has forgotten you, but the very place He is doing His greatest work in you? Joseph was betrayed, enslaved, falsely accused, and imprisoned. And yet at every stage, Scripture says the Lord was with him. God did not remove the difficulty. He was present in it. Are you in a season where it feels too late? It is not. Stay faithful. He is s...

What if the most dangerous lie you believe is not about someone else, but about yourself? Nothing is impossible with God, and that includes changing you. If you have ever whispered the words I will never change, this one is for you.

What if the most dangerous lie you believe is one you have never said out loud? Many of us are carrying false beliefs about God and ourselves that feel so familiar they seem like facts. The good news is that truth is more powerful than any lie you have rehearsed. Discover how to recognize what is running in the background of your mind and what to do about it.

*Please keep in mind, during the first 5 minutes of this service, there was a celebratory video playing, showcasing the last 90 years of Good News Church. The message begins after the video plays. If no one ever saw your faithfulness, would you still keep going? King David spent his final years preparing materials for a temple he would never build, and God called that a legacy worth honoring. Your...

What if the secret to peace is not getting rid of your problems but learning what to do with them? Philippians 4 gives a surprisingly practical path through anxiety, discontentment, and the weight of everyday life. The same man who wrote about rejoicing always wrote it from a prison cell. That changes everything about how we read it.

What if fully following Jesus does not mean missing out on life, but actually opens it up? Paul had every credential, every achievement, every reason to feel spiritually secure. He called all of it garbage. Not because it was worthless, but because he found something worth so much more. One thing. That is all he was chasing. What is the one thing you are actually chasing right now?

What if real humility is not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less because you know exactly who you are? Philippians 2 flips everything we think we know about greatness, pride, and what it means to truly value the people around us. Jesus gave up everything, and God exalted Him above every name. What might God do through you if you did the same?

Paul voted for the deaths of Christians. He hunted believers across cities in what he later called raging fury. And God chose him to carry the Gospel to kings and nations. If God can reach Paul, who in your life do you think is too far gone? No one is a throwaway in the kingdom of God.

You can have the greatest spiritual gifts, give away everything you own, and still be making nothing but noise. What if the most important thing about your faith is not how gifted you are, but whether the people closest to you actually experience love through you? Do the people in your life experience the patience and kindness of God through you, or do they mostly experience noise? 1 Corinthians 1...

What if the most honest thing faith can say is... perhaps? Jonathan did not have a guarantee. The 1980 U.S. hockey team did not have a guarantee. But they moved anyway, and that changed everything. Where in your life are you waiting for certainty before you trust God? Perhaps He is already enough.

Motivation fades. Conviction stays. But are you living with real conviction, or just good intentions? David asked one question before facing a giant: Is there not a cause? What is your answer? Honorable. Hungry. Humble. Three qualities that do not just show up in the big moments but in the everyday ones no one sees. That is where true character is built.

What if your biggest weakness is actually your greatest qualification for God's calling? The angel called Gideon a mighty warrior while he was hiding in fear. Sometimes God sees what we can't see in ourselves. What is God calling you a mighty warrior in, even when you feel like you're hiding? Stop listening to the world's labels and start believing God's declarations over your...

2.2 billion people have never heard the name of Jesus. If you filled a stadium in some countries, zero people would know the Gospel. The Great Commission isn't just for missionaries—it's for every believer. Are you praying, giving, or going? What's your role in reaching the nations?

Jesus asked a man who had been paralyzed for 38 years a penetrating question: "Do you want to be made well?" Sometimes our spiritual paralysis comes from refusing to follow God fully. What areas of your life are you holding back from complete surrender to Christ? The cost of discipleship is real, but the value of knowing Jesus far exceeds anything we sacrifice.

What makes Christianity different from every other religion in the world? C.S. Lewis said it best: Grace. But are you living in the full power of God's unmerited favor, or just treating it as a nice theological concept? Discover how grace isn't just about salvation - it's your secret weapon for forgiveness, transformation, and daily empowerment. When was the last time you truly experie...

A religious expert tried to trap Jesus with a question about the greatest commandment. Jesus' answer was so simple yet so challenging that it still transforms lives today. What did He say that cuts through all religious complexity and gets to the heart of faith? The answer might surprise you and will definitely challenge how you treat the difficult people in your life.

You don't give what you hope for - you give what actually fills you. When life squeezes you like a sponge, what comes out? Your past may explain what first filled you, but it doesn't have to define what flows from you now. What's filling you today?

Jesus said few find the narrow way that leads to life. Why? Because the wide path happens by default - you can drift onto it without even realizing it. But the narrow way requires intentional choice and daily surrender. Are you drifting or deciding? The path you're on today determines where you'll end up tomorrow.

What if God is calling you to live an intentionally upside-down life that goes against everything culture values? Jesus taught that real treasure isn't what you can store in a bank or insure - it's what you store in heaven. The question isn't whether God is able to provide for you, but whether you'll trust Him enough to let go of what you're clinging to. What is God putting His...

If you only love people who love you back, how are you any different from anyone else? Jesus calls us to something radical: loving our enemies. Before we were Christians, we were God's enemies - yet He loved us first. What would change if you chose to love the person who's hardest to love in your life right now?
