When He came near…
All of his followers began joyfully to shout and sing as they walked along, praising God for all the wonderous miracles they had seen. “Blessings on the King who comes in the name of the Lord!!”… But some Pharisees said, “teacher, rebuke your followers!” He replied, “I tell you, if they keep quiet, the stones along the road would burst into cheers!”

What did you give up for Lent? How is God speaking to you in the space you have created? As we live out the journey of Lent towards the cross and the resurrection of Jesus, I continue to be amazed at how simple the act of giving up dessert has invited God into my life. He continues to remind me in new and profound ways to draw close to Him, to remember the sacrifice of Jesus, to focus on Him and serve others differently in this season. I love how we are being transformed by engaging on this journey of Lenten sacrifice that The Church has done for thousands of years.
I also love how the weekend series were in, Fearless Generosity, ties into the journey of Lent as well. It teaches and reminds us all how to become the people God has designed and created us to be, people who fearlessly follow Jesus and change the world around us. Last weekend we learned how to live fearless and generous lives by acknowledging the power of money and how to live as a steward without letting it control us. This week, we’re going to look at the one outstanding debt in our lives we should never even attempt to eliminate, and how it can change our lives and the world!
Each quarter, the Global Bookstore asks our Mariners Church pastors what books they’ve been reading and what they would recommend to our church community. Here’s what they said:
A Tale of Three Kings by Gene Edwards
Worship Pastor, Kyle Zimmerman:
“We’re all uniquely gifted by God and invited into His great story of redemption…to love and serve others, taking part in the restoration of creation back to its original design…”
The Covenant: A study of God’s extraordinary love for you., by James I. Garlow
Women’s Pastor, Shelly Juskiewicz:
“This book is amazing. It is rich in the history of the power of our covenant making God and our covenant relationship with Him…”
Dive into this dialogue about the Christian faith as we look at the historical evidence of the resurrection, forgiveness and His sacrifice for us. Taught by Ron Keller.
