I hope you are reading this in a cool, air-conditioned space…wow, it’s hot! I love that the heat hasn’t dampened the spirit of what God is doing here in and through Mariners Church – I’ve been hearing stories all week how families (and, more importantly, women in our community) were blessed and encouraged by our Mother’s Day weekend experience. We were able to welcome and celebrate with the most people we’ve ever had on a weekend…amazing! I believe it’s evidence of your journey with Jesus – that people are seeing the way you love and live differently, and the world wants to experience the same joy and peace in their relationships.

My prayer for you today is that you would continue to walk fearlessly into all God has for you, trusting Him to give you the Spirit, power, and the words when necessary to put on display the power of the gospel in your life. Isn’t that what the current weekend series “What If?” is all about? It’s a great reminder that the same power that raised Jesus from the dead is alive and within us. We can wholeheartedly trust and depend on His spirit and His strength to lead us, guide us, protect and provide for us. This is the message our friends, neighbors, OC needs (and wants) to hear. Be on the lookout this week for the people God places in your path and invite them to join us on this great adventure of faith.

Peace…
