A Note From Kyle

This resurrection life you received from God is not a timid, grave-tending life. It’s adventurously expectant, greeting God with a childlike “What’s next, Papa? Romans 8:15 (The Message)

Christian – follower of Jesus: have you been waking each day, moving through life with the kind of anticipation expressed in Romans 8? I loved kicking off the Christian? series last weekend as we began our journey remembering the profound beauty and power in becoming like the One we follow – Jesus. It was wonderful hearing stories of how you connected here at Mariners and how God has been transforming you. I loved meeting the friends and family you invited so they could experience the relationships and encouragement we get to find in The Church each week. You’re not going to want to miss this weekend as we begin to dig deeper into what it truly means to live a life following Jesus and impact the world the way Jesus has called and equipped us. This is a great weekend series for those of us who have been Christians for years or anyone who is looking to understand more, so join us and be thinking of who you can bring with you.

Don’t miss Rooted – if you’re new to our church or have been here for years and you’re looking to understand a more complete picture of who God is and who you are, make sure you jump into Rooted. You’ll get together with a smaller group of people to have conversations around God, humanity, good, evil, the Holy Spirit, and our purpose. We believe that God has created and designed us to move through life with a group of people who know and love us, and Rooted is the launching pad to discover that life together. We have a new session beginning next Wednesday and we’d love for you to join us on the journey.

Looking forward to seeing you all this weekend…

Peace…

A Note From Kyle

Powerful…transforming…healing…beautiful…life-changing. These are just some of the words I heard, as you shared your stories about Easter weekend at Mariners Church. I loved connecting with you on the patio and hearing the emotion, freedom and victory expressed because of the sacrifice of Jesus. Then on Easter weekend, it was a joy watching thousands of you with friends and family scoop up 50,000 eggs within seconds on our lawn, knowing that so many were on our campus experiencing the beauty of The Church (God’s people) for the first time. Many of you brought family and friends to experience the power of Easter and the resurrection with us. It was beautiful to see the smiles and hear your encouraging stories, the powerful message of Easter and the community of Jesus impressed into your souls. I can’t wait to see what God has in store for us!

I’m excited to kick off our new series “Christian?” this weekend, unpacking the label that Christ-followers have worn for years. This is a great series for anyone new to church or investigating who Jesus is and what His Church is all about, as well as those of us that have identified with the “Christian” label for a long time.  All of us will have the opportunity to rediscover the beauty and adventure of walking with Jesus.  Bring your family and friends, and join us for another great weekend together…

Peace…
