We live in a world filled with bad news—division, conflict, and discouragement. It’s easy to feel overwhelmed or tempted to tune it all out. But what if the answer isn’t escaping reality… but living differently within it?
In this message, “Bad News, Good News,” we turn to Acts 2:43–4:22 and the story of the early church—a small, ordinary group of people who chose to live fully in the way of Jesus. They shared what they had, cared for one another, and witnessed boldly to a new way of life. And through that commitment, real healing happened—even in the face of resistance and trouble.
This sermon challenges us to move beyond a comfortable, minimal faith—what one writer called “$3 worth of God”—and instead embrace a faith that transforms us and the world around us. Because the good news isn’t just something we believe—it’s something we live.
