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
