A Note From Kyle Zimmerman

What is God stirring in your life this week? For me, I was challenged by the message last weekend and felt God was inviting me to step into who He created me to be by having some serious fun! Growing up, my view of God was that He was incredibly serious and would therefore want me to be incredibly serious. He never laughed or smiled, let alone smirked or laughed with me about funny things in life. It’s beautiful to continue to be challenged and have my view of God expanded, learning and discovering more about who He is and who I am.

I’ve loved meeting your friends and family who have been joining you for this Beautiful Mess series. Invite them back and join us this weekend as Doug Fields will be here for the last of three weeks on how we raise and relate to kids. And don’t forget to sign up for our relationship Fight Night.

It’s an encouraging and challenging journey we’re on, and I’m so grateful we get to do this together.

Peace…

Ephesians 3:20, 21

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

I love this promise and how it speaks to a loving Heavenly Father who is not just able, but desires to surprise His kids (us:) with transformation beyond anything we could ever think to dream or anticipate. I believe we are experiencing this truth together in powerful ways this season through our Beautiful Mess series. Each week we’re hearing stories of healing, reconciliation, and hope through the power of Jesus. If you missed last week (or any of this series) you can always listen online here. And make sure to invite your friends and family to join us for the last couple weeks of Beautiful Mess – they will be forever grateful that you loved and cared enough to bring them.

Also…Happy (almost) Valentines Day! I know we’re all looking to affirm and express love for those we care about, and if you’re searching for a last-minute gift idea consider inviting someone to join you at Fight Night on February 28. Fight Night is a fun event for couples of any age or stage. Filled with humor, fresh insight, and new strategies for turning conflict into a means to more intimacy, Fight Night is for everyone wanting to make a good relationship great!

Will you join me in loving OC?

I want every single person who interacts with kids – parents, teachers, coaches, friends, grandparents, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles (you get the idea) – to know that the next 3 weeks at Mariners Church are going to be amazing! Doug Fields will be here to give biblical wisdom and practical insight in the most relevant way that promises to bring healing, hope, and transformation into our relationships as we walk with the next generation(s). I gathered our team earlier this week and we prayed that every family in OC would hear about this, believing that God is faithful and when we show up, He shows up in powerful and surprising ways. Please pray with us and invite your friends and neighbors (you can forward an invitation from the link below) to be a part of the story God is writing here.

Also this weekend – I would love for you to join us this Sunday Night as we worship and pray together as One Church.  God is at work, and the way we join Him is through prayer and worship. Central to the heart of God, worship is our way through this world as we celebrate all that He is doing, and as we seek Him to meet us in our places of need.

I can’t wait to see you and meet your friends and family this weekend as we journey together…

Peace,

Kyle
