Evening Carols - Good News of Great Joy

(All Talks)Good NewsChristmas
Written By Natalie King

About our Christmas series

Come and celebrate the Good news story of Christmas with us! News is everywhere! News can be good and bad. Sometimes it's just for you, other times for a whole bunch of people, News can also be just ‘interesting’ or completely ‘life changing!’

At Christmas time we celebrate the best news ever! Good news that, as the angels said to the shepherds, can cause ‘great joy for all people.’ It was good for Mary (though scary), it was good for Joseph (though awkward) and it is good for you too! This news came not in the form of words in a paper or read aloud on the BBC but in the form of a person. A person as it turns out who is such good news he is able to save us from our sin (which is the bad news!) and bring us peace with God himself.

Why should we engage in mission? Because Jesus has instructed us to go and make disciples of all nations.

God has made a way for us to enjoy him, the greatest, most beautiful treasure. Salvation is not only a wiping clean of our past, but a future in which we are fully satisfied in God.

For most people, their experience of becoming a follower of Jesus invariably feels like a personal decision. Which it is. And yet, behind and before our decision is God’s decision to save us.

The reality of heaven is glorious beyond imagining; the reality of hell is ghastly beyond imagining. Why mission? Because everyone’s eternal destiny at stake?

Everything and everyone exists for God’s glory - to proclaim his greatness. It is therefore true that one reason for mission is the glory of God.

The gospel is not just the starting message of the Christian faith, though; it is the whole message. All the blessings that come to us are the result of what God has done for us in Jesus Christ.
