I loved being able to speak during all of our weekend experiences last weekend, including Sunday Night. It was an honor and a privilege to see how God is working in and amongst people’s lives to bring freedom in this year of Jubilee! I was overwhelmed to witness the courage and honest emotion – tears of joy and hope – of the people who came forward to confess what enslaves them, acknowledge they can’t free themselves, and walk in the presence of the Holy Spirit. It was powerful. And let’s continue to join in prayer with The Church around the world as recovery efforts continue from the devastation in Nepal as well as for peace here in our own country.
Kenton is really excited to be back with you this weekend teaching in our Reset series. This is a great series to bring friends and family as so many of us have obstacles in our lives we can’t overcome…places that weigh us down…dreams that we have given up. Invite them to join us this weekend, and be sure to look through all of the opportunities to get involved in the story God is writing with one another here at Mariners and in our community.
Join us as we stand united in prayer for our county, nation and world on Thursday, May 7.

I’ve been praying for you this week – that your heart would be broken for what breaks God’s heart. I’ve been praying that you would see the relationships and people around you as opportunities to shine light and bring hope into dark places through the power of Jesus within you. I love the invitation Pastor Muriithi gave last week to be dangerous people…courageous people…fearless people who follow Jesus and bring His redemption into this world. This week, we’re continuing in our Reset series where we’ll remember that Jesus is our jubilee, our freedom…the One who can bring hope and life in every aspect of our journey. Invite your family and friends to join us!
Also, we’re committing to building healthy marriages. If you’re on your way to the alter or you’ve said, “I do,” join me tonight as we take some time to laugh together, encourage one another, and more importantly, spend some time with our spouse on a date night.
