Jesus calls us to love our enemies—not by mustering willpower, but by becoming channels of His grace. Pastor Brad unpacks Luke 6, Matthew 5, and Romans 12 to show how releasing bitterness, setting wise boundaries, and practicing “applied theology” forms a tested, owned faith. Move from resentment to freedom by trusting God's character and extending the mercy you've received.DATE: 11/09/2025SPEAKERS: Brad Goode
Learning to LearnWe live in an age of endless information but shrinking wisdom. In this new series, Learning: To Follow, we're exploring what it means to pursue God with our minds — cultivating a teachable spirit that's humble, curious, and ready to grow.Drawing from A.J. Swoboda's A Teachable Spirit, Pastor Brad invites us to rediscover Jesus' call to “love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength.” Together, we'll learn what it means to let truth shape us — not just to learn more, but to be transformed more into the likeness of Christ.Over these weeks, we'll explore how to learn from culture, from the saints who came before us, from strangers, even from our enemies — all while asking: Are we learning to follow Jesus better?DATE:10/19/25SPEAKERS:Brad Goode
Learning to DiscernIn this message from the Learn to Follow series, Pastor Brad teaches on what it means to learn to discern in a world full of competing voices and opinions. Drawing from the story of Daniel, we explore how humility, wisdom, and a teachable spirit help us follow Jesus faithfully in complex times. Through Daniel's example, we learn how to live in the world but not of it, making decisions rooted in prayer, unity, and grace. This sermon challenges us to move from reactionary living to Spirit-led discernment—seeking God's wisdom rather than the crowd's noise.10/26/2025DATE: 10/26/2025SPEAKER:Brad Goode
Digital ThornsOur world is full of noise, notifications, and endless scrolling—but Jesus invites us to something better. In this message, Joey Odom from ReclaimWell shares how technology shapes our hearts and how followers of Jesus can reclaim focus, presence, and love in a distracted world. Discover practical ways to “prune back the digital thorns” so the seeds of God's Word can grow into lasting fruit in your life.DATE: 10/12/25SPEAKER:Joey Odom
Generosity in ActionWhat happens when generosity becomes more than a concept—and turns into a way of life?In this message, Pastor Brad sits down with Jimmy Darts, a viral storyteller and modern-day Good Samaritan, to explore what it means to love with actions and truth. Together, they discuss living open-handed, listening to the Spirit's promptings, and how even small acts of kindness can spark eternal impact.DATE: 10/05/2025SPEAKER: Brad Goode
The Deceitfulness of WealthIn a world that tells us “more is better,” Jesus offers a radically different way. In this message, Pastor Brad unpacks the deceitfulness of wealth and how greed quietly shapes our hearts. Discover how true freedom and peace come not from accumulation, but from contentment and open-handed living—trusting that everything we have belongs to God.DATE: 09/28/2025SPEAKER: Brad Goode
Abide in ChristSo often we live in a performative way, striving for approval, measuring our worth by what we do. But Jesus calls us to something better—abiding in Him. When we are filled with God's Spirit, we live with peace, joy, and freedom, not exhaustion. This message explores what it means to stop saying “Look at me” and start living with the freedom of “Look at You.”DATE: 08/17/2025SPEAKERS: Brad Goode
Practicing HospitalityEver feel unseen—even in a crowded room? Scripture says proximity isn't the same as presence. In Romans 12, we're told to “share with the Lord's people who are in need; practice hospitality.” This message unpacks biblical hospitality as more than Martha-Stewart vibes—it's a heart posture rooted in the gospel, where Jesus welcomed us when we were outsiders and now sends us to welcome others. From “fences vs. wells” to the simple art of knowing your literal neighbors, we explore how Good News can “stay small as we grow” by becoming thermostats (not thermometers) who set the tone, love our neighbors, and make space at the table—without grumbling.DATE: 09/14/2025SPEAKER: Brad Goode
Church is a Starting LineWe all know what it feels like to be unseen—even in a crowded room. In Matthew 9, Jesus sees Matthew at the tax booth, right in the middle of his brokenness, and says, “Follow me.” That simple invitation reminds us that church is not the finish line for people who have it all together—it's the starting line for anyone willing to follow Jesus. At Good News, we believe everybody's welcome, nobody's perfect, and with God, anything is possible.DATE: 09/07/2025SPEAKER: Brad Goode
Pruned to Bear MoreIn the finale of our Difference Makers series, Pastor Brad teaches from John 15 on abiding and pruning. Abiding isn't a quick recharge—it's a plugged-in life with Jesus that produces real fruit. Pruning removes what siphons our energy into “leaves” (appearance, busyness, distractions) so more life can flow into what matters most: love, joy, peace, and the good of others. We get practical with three areas—schedule, downtime, and relationships—and ask God for courage to cut what keeps us from fruitfulness.DATE: 08/31/2025SPEAKER: Brad Goode
Hope Is Closer Than You ThinkLife is full of questions, doubts, and crossroads. In this message, we explore what it means to trust God fully when life doesn't make sense. Through Scripture, we're reminded that God's promises never fail and that He calls us to walk by faith, not fear. Whether you're new to faith or have followed Jesus for years, this message will encourage you to lean into God's strength and discover hope in every circumstance.DATE: 08/24/2025SPEAKER: Brad Goode

Too Busy for GodIn a world that celebrates busyness, it's easy to fill our schedules with things for God while rarely slowing down to simply be with God. This message from Romans 12 challenges us to shift from a works-based, approval-driven faith to a grace-filled life rooted in Christ.Discover how true difference-making flows from who we are in Jesus, not just what we do. Learn practical ways to abide in Him daily, renew your mind, and serve out of love instead of guilt. Whether you feel spiritually overextended, burned out, or just longing for a deeper walk with God, this sermon will help you reconnect to the Source so your life and service overflow with joy, peace, and purpose.DATE: 08/10/2025SPEAKER: Brad Goode
You Are Deeply Loved By GodAfter a refreshing sabbatical, Pastor Brad returns with a powerful reminder: the truest thing about you is that you are deeply loved by God. Through personal stories, biblical teaching from Exodus 31, and practical insights, this message challenges the false narratives we often live by—performance, fear, and shame—and invites us into God's rhythm of rest and grace. Discover how living from love, for love changes everything about how we work, rest, and relate to others.DATE: 08/03/2025SPEAKER: Brad Goode
Come HomeNo matter how far you've drifted or what you've done, you can come back to God. In this powerful message, Pastor Scotty shares a heartfelt and hope-filled reminder from Luke 15: the story of the prodigal son. Through real-life stories and humor, he paints a picture of God's relentless pursuit, overwhelming compassion, and radical grace. Whether you're exploring faith, coming back after a long time away, or walking closely with Jesus, this is a message for you.DATE: 07/20/2025SPEAKER: Scotty Priest
The Trap of FearIn this message, Lane Sebring shares a powerful truth: you can live for the approval of people or the approval of God—but not both. Through vulnerable personal stories and biblical insight, Lane unpacks how the fear of rejection can trap us into abandoning our values, avoiding real community, and staying silent about our faith. But there's good news: when we fix our eyes on Jesus, we're set free. This is an invitation to let go of the applause of the crowd and live for the audience of One.Sermon Date: 07/13/2025SPEAKER: Lane Sebring
When God Seems SilentWhat do you do when God seems quiet — when your prayers feel unanswered, your heart feels heavy, and your faith feels stuck?In this deeply personal message, Pastor Scott shares his journey of embracing life in a wheelchair and the spiritual highs and lows that came with it. Drawing from the experience known as The Dark Night of the Soul, he walks us through moments in Scripture when God seemed silent — but was actually working behind the scenes, entering into our pain, and preparing the way for resurrection.If you've ever found yourself in a place of uncertainty, grief, or spiritual silence, this message offers hope, honesty, and a reminder that even in the quiet, God is not absent.Date: 07/06/2025Speaker: Scott Lees
You Are a PriestIn this powerful and challenging message, guest speaker Jesse Reeves calls the church back to its roots — the priesthood of every believer. Through Scripture, historical context, and personal experience, Jesse unpacks what it means to live with the authority and responsibility of being God's representative in the world. You're not just invited to church — you're sent into the world with the keys to the Kingdom. This message will inspire you to stop watching from the sidelines and start stepping into your God-given calling.Sermon Date: 06/29/2025Speaker: Jesse Reaves
Waiting on God Is Not WastedIn this deeply honest and encouraging message, Brooke Tally explores what it means to wait on God with purpose. Drawing from Psalms and her personal story of loss, Brooke unpacks the Hebrew word kava — a rich and active form of waiting that also means hope. Through the life of King David and the Israelites in slavery, we're reminded that crying out to God is not a sign of weakness but of relationship. Waiting seasons often reveal what needs healing in us and how God is fathering us in unseen ways. If you're in a season of uncertainty, longing, or pain — this message will help you trust that God is not silent and He is always on the move.Speaker:Brooke Talley
Why Do I Do What I Don't Want to Do?In this honest and relatable message, Pastor Jon McNary unpacks Romans 7 and Galatians 5 to explore the internal battle between the flesh and the Spirit. Through humor, personal stories, and powerful truth, we're invited to stop white-knuckling our faith and instead walk daily with the Spirit who produces real, lasting change in us.SPEAKERSJon McNary
