Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30
I love how the Pursuit of Happiness series has been leading us to find rest in Jesus. Everything we want to become and hope to be – the will and the strength – it’s all found in Him. This week, I’m so excited as Doug Fields will be back to teach us about how to prepare for, and have the kind of marriage that God designed for us. This is a great opportunity to invite your friends – family – neighbors – parents from your sports teams and your schools – everybody you know… because we all want great marriages! Doug will do an amazing job aiming our hearts at how that can happen and be real in our life.
NEXT WEEK – we have two incredible opportunities coming your way. As a follow up to this weekend, we’re hosting the Father Factor Conference. This is a great way to invest in your marriage and the relationships we are called to value most. Specifically for guys, it’s a great way to invest and become the kind of men/fathers/husbands God designed us to be. Also, next Thursday night, February 5, we’re hosting An Evening with Chris Broussard and Friends. Sports is a primary influence and language of our culture and we have the unique opportunity to host some prominent athletes from a variety of sports. We’ll hear from them about integrity, perseverance and team unity, and how their faith has sustained them in the midst of their journeys. This is a great opportunity for you to invite someone to come and experience the gospel and see the church on display in a very cool way.
Looking forward to being with you all again soon…

Saturday, February 7, 6:30a-8p, La Morita, $40 adults/$20 under 18 yrs
January is well underway…2014 is in the rear view mirror and we are settling into the rhythms of our life for this year. I love how the Pursuit of Happiness series is continuing to shape and mold our thinking and our hearts as we become who Jesus has called and created us to be. I love the focus of the passage last week and how it gives us a lens to view the rest of the Sermon on the Mount. You are not going to want to miss any of these weeks as we continue to unpack the truth and freedom that Christ invites us into, recalibrating us from the law into a grace-filled relationship with Him.
Speaking of relationship…don’t neglect community or one another. In the busyness of life, make sure you find time, not only to be with Jesus, but also one another. Just this week, we launched hundreds of you into our Rooted experience. I love that we are finding our way into becoming who God is calling us to be as individuals and as a church. Looking forward to seeing and being with you guys this weekend.
Leaders and group members, join us as we launch our 10-week winter study, Story. In Story we’ll explore more of what it means to embrace our stories and discover how God wants to use them.
