I’m overwhelmed at what God is doing in our community. We finished our “Beautiful Mess” series last weekend with many choosing to declare their faith and trust in Jesus by standing and saying “I Believe.” We had our first ever Ash Wednesday services and saw hundreds come and gather to intentionally enter the Lent season, anticipating Easter and the sacrifice and freedom found in Jesus. And, over 1,000 people came to “Fight Night” to be encouraged and inspired to find ways to love one another more…God is so faithful to transform us.
I know you have friends, family, and people in your life that are longing to discover the profound hope that only a relationship with Jesus can provide, as well as the authentic, caring relationships that are being cultivated here at mariners with one another. I’m praying that God would give you the opportunity to invite others to join you this weekend as we launch our next series together, “How to Start a Revolution.” We’re picking up where we left off in the Book of Luke and heading toward Easter together, looking at the life and teachings of Jesus and the revolution He started and invites us to participate in today.
There are always so many opportunities to create relationships and have our lives stirred…be sure to check some of them highlighted below. And don’t forget to set your clocks ahead for the time change this week. (Of course, you don’t really have to worry about that if you come to church on Saturday night:)
Peace…
