LOOKING FOR THE GOOD NEWS IN LIFE

LOOKING FOR
THE GOOD NEWS IN LIFE




We live in a fallen world-
A world FULL of sin


IT is hard to FIND
The GOOD NEWS in life


You read the daily newspaper
Or watch the news on TV
And the world
Is ripe with stories of:


murder-child molestation-violent crimes-
And EVERY kind of white collar crimes
That there is:


Fraud-deceit-libel and slander-and on-
And on-and on


WHERE do we find the good news
In the world?


Where do we find our HOPE?


WE FIND it in God-
We find it in Jesus-
We find it ONLY in God
Where the REAL HOPE is
For this world


Yet the world
Doesn't want to believe it now


Just as it didn't want
To believe it 2,000 years ago


“Jesus said,
'….....no prophet
Is ACCEPTED in his own native place'” Luke 4:24


LOOKING for the good news
In LIFE


After John
Was put in prison


Jesus went to Galilee
And PREACHED the good news
From God


“'The right time has come,'
He said,


'The kingdom of God
Has come near,


Repent and BELIEVE the good news'” Mark 1:14-15


Believe the good news
It is NEAR


It is as close
As God and Jesus
Is to us


ALL we have to do
Is OPEN our hearts
That is where they LIVE


“LIGHT in a messenger's eyes
Brings JOY to the heart


And good news
Gives health to the bones” Proverbs 15:30


Believe the good news
Of the Lord
Bring HEALTH to your body-
To your mind-
And to your spirit


“........The people were looking
For him


And WHEN they came
To where he was


They tried to keep him
From leaving them


But he said,


'I must PROCLAIM
the good news
Of the kingdom of God


To the other towns
Because that is why
I was sent'” Luke 4:42-43


Do you ever feel that way
FEEL like Jesus?


I KNOW that I do
I know that I feel
MY PURPOSE in life
Is to tell-
The GOOD NEWS of the Lord
ALL OVER AGAIN


To anyone and EVERYONE in life
That will listen


What could be more important
Than our salvation?
Than LIVING for all of eternity
With God and Jesus


WELL we have the good news
Of the world-that we see and hear everyday


And we have the GOOD NEWS of the Lord
In the bible-maybe more of us
Should take the time
TO OPEN IT UP


Dear Lord-WE PRAY


HELP us to be unconcerned
About what others think of us-
About we say and do


And to SHARE the good news
Of the Lord


WE are all looking
To FIND the good news
In life


Dear Lord-The GOOD NEWS IN LIFE
RESTS in you
