Celebrating Mother’s day was such a blast at Mariners MV this past weekend: Hair was combed. Shirts were tucked-in. Mouths were neatly closed as people chewed salt-water taffy. “Cheese” was spoken with great enthusiasm at the photo booth. It was truly a beautiful expression of family. Take a look at our Facebook page  (Mariners Church Mission Viejo) for some of the highlights.

Amid all the laughter and the celebration of moms, we were challenged by Doug Fields’ message about choosing obedience over convenience — that the essence of true depth isn’t in knowing how to pronounce “camel” in Greek (it’s “kamelon”, for those of you wondering). Rather, a “deep” person is one who makes the daily, difficult choice to obediently follow Jesus.

This week we’ll continue in the Christian? series looking at two powerful descriptors of Jesus that have often been obscured by well-meaning Christians over the years.

See you this weekend,

Jeff
