ONE-DAY MEXICO FAITH ADVENTURE
Sat, Feb 4, 6a-10p, $45
It was fun being back together this past Sunday. As great as the Christmas season is, it also is nice to get back into our regular schedules and lifestyles. I also know for Roy (shoulder surgery) and myself (too many ailments to count), we are anxious to heal up and get healthy again. The new year is a perfect time for all of us to take a look at ourselves and make steps toward a healthy life – physically, emotionally, and most importantly, spiritually.
I believe our new FREEDOM series will help point us in the right direction. This Sunday, we will learn something about freedom that we probably forget all too often. What if freedom was staring you in the face and you didn’t even know it? What if you were more free than you even realized… except you haven’t realized it yet? Finding freedom might be right in front of you. This Sunday, God will show us where it is.
As always, it is great doing life and ministry with you.
Blessings,
Jeff
Freedom is found in a rich relationship with God. We were reminded of this last weekend as we launched into our FREEDOM series, remembering that the world is desperate to trap us in our selfishness. But God has freed us and everything our souls truly long for can be found through our relationship with Jesus: a life of peace, contentment and hope!
This weekend Kenton is back and he’s looking forward to helping us take our next step towards freedom together. Invite your friends and family to be a part of all God is doing in and through our church.
Also, I love how so many of you have jumped in on the One Year Bible daily read. One of the new things we are trying is a Daily Read Recap where pastors from our staff will bring you up to speed on the journey through God’s Word, as well as highlight something God has been saying. Catch the first installment (below) and make sure you look for it every single week. Feel free to share with your friends and invite them to join the journey of reading God’s Word with us!
Peace,
Kyle
We kicked off a new year and a new series last Sunday, Social Reset. We’re talking about relationships, in all kinds of ways. Sunday we said:
1. Start at the start: Remember who you are and how God sees you.
2. Celebrate the Source: How God made you is good. You are who you are for a reason.
3. Talk to yourself and don’t compare yourself.
Before you surf and scroll, reflect and remember what’s true.
If you missed last Sunday or want to pass along the message, click here. Social Reset continues this Sunday. Be there:
8:30, 10, 11:30a & 6p.
Quick building update: We take over the theater and begin construction February 1st. The fun begins! Between now and the move-in date we will update StepInHB.com regularly with posts, pics, and events, so stay tuned.
May God continue to bless you as you follow His path into 2017!
