Good News about the Good News

Good News for Schools

March 17, 2024 • Courtney Harkness, Nichelle Walker • Mark 10:45, Luke 18:15–16

Schools have a burden to carry. And it’s too heavy, and too important, for them to carry alone. If Jesus loved children, then we believe that should show up practically in how churches partner with schools! - - - Connect - https://bit.ly/cumberlandconnectform   Bulletin - https://cumberlandchurch.org/bulletin Give - https://cumberlandchurch.org/give App - https://cumberlandchurch.org/app Counseling - https://cumberlandcounselingcenters.org/ Kids Church Online - https://cumberlandchurch.org/nextgen Wed @ Noon Prayer Gathering - https://bit.ly/noonprayerzoom RightNow Media - https://app.rightnowmedia.org/join/cumberlandcchttp://rightnowmedia.org/join/cumberlandcc

More Than Good (Part 1)

February 11, 2024 • Courtney Harkness • Galatians 1:6–9

The gospel is not only the central message of Christianity, it is also the only solution for the terminal condition of humanity. It seems that our freedom of choice has, ultimately, left us in chains. We are all condemned by our sin, but no need to worry: Jesus to the rescue! And while the responsibility of the Church is to communicate this message, so often the news we share falls short of being “good.” Sometimes, we work to convince people of the bad news, instead of compelling them with our good news. As believers, we each hold tangible evidence of our faith, but somehow that testimony rarely ever makes it to the witness stand. Because even though we receive the gospel as good news, our tendency is to share it as something else altogether.
