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
