Jesus Has a Big Word of Truth About Your Life

Simply Jesus!

Lately, the news makes me feel dirty!

How about some GOOD news!?

The Jesus of the Bible is a Prophet with a message full of truth and grace about you and about eternity.

Mark 1:14-15 NLT

[14] Later on, after John was arrested, Jesus went into Galilee, where he preached God's Good News. [15] "The time promised by God has come at last!" he announced. "The Kingdom of God is near! Repent of your sins and believe the Good News!"

FIRST: Jesus’ Word for you is good.

There is a Kingdom of God.

There is a King, and he has come to deliver.

Luke 4:18-19 NLT

[18] "The Spirit of the LORD is upon me, for he has anointed me to bring Good News to the poor.He has sent me to proclaim that captives will be released, that the blind will see,that the oppressed will be set free, [19] and that the time of the LORD's favor has come."

• From poverty.

• From captivity.

• From blindness.

• From oppression.

Deliverance is both gradual AND eventual.

Philippians 1:6 MSG

There has never been the slightest doubt in my mind that the God who started this great work in you would keep at it and bring it to a flourishing finish on the very day Christ Jesus appears.

The King welcomes everyone who is broken into his Kingdom.

SECOND: Jesus’ Word for you is honest.

Jesus: "The Kingdom of God is near! Repent of your sins and believe the Good News!"

Jesus wants YOU in his Kingdom, but you’re not ready for it until you repent and believe!
