Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” Matthew 22:37-39
I love the way Nehemiah reminded us to live out this verse in our daily lives through our FAVOR WITH KINGS series last weekend. What a great reminder that it’s about the people and NOT the project. My prayer for you this week is that you are seeing people first, loving and and serving others in your workplace…at your school…in your neighborhood…allowing God to demonstrate His love through you. This is a great series to remind us who we are called to be as the Church. Let’s continue to invite our friends and neighbors to come and hear the heart of the gospel, experiencing first-hand who the Church is called to be.
This weekend, we have the opportunity to hear from our very own Caleb Anderson. Caleb pastors our Huntington Beach campus and is the author of the book FAVOR WITH KINGS. He is passionate about Nehemiah and the lessons God has for us. I can’t wait for you to hear from him! Be sure to invite someone to come with you to the service.
It was so great to meet many of you at our Beyond spotlight events! I’m excited to be on our BEYOND prayer journey together, and I look forward to seeing how God will speak to us in the coming days and weeks. Be sure to stop by the BEYOND spotlight table on the patio or visit the Beyond website for more information or to sign up for the daily prayer reminders.
Thrilled to be following Jesus and changing the world together!
Peace,
Kyle
We want our life to count for something. We desire to make a difference. God is inviting each of us to partner with him to fearlessly change the world, but we don’t always know how. We need help to discover our unique dream and to find courage to take our next steps. We believe the answers lie in how God has created us and in our life experiences. The Dream Event is your invitation to activate your dream to change the world. For more info click here or search “Dream” on our website.

I love how God has given us our weekend series FAVOR WITH KINGS to walk through at the same time He is inviting us to go Beyond ourselves in the way we love and serve our community! Nehemiah shows us passion and purpose is found in caring for people, and that is exactly what God is inviting us into as a church as we begin to re-purpose our campus so we can love and better serve our community in new ways for years to come.
Visit our Beyond website to learn more about going Beyond…
It was so encouraging last Saturday seeing all of you who came to hear the story of going Beyond ourselves. If you weren’t able to make it, I invite you to join me this Saturday night after the service in the Community Center, to hear more about the intersection of the growing needs in our community and the opportunities we have as a church to be a resource that offers tangible solutions. Don’t worry, we’ll take care of your kids in Port Mariners (dinner for them too!) and be done around 7p. We will share what we’ve learned about our community, the existing needs that are present, and how this is our opportunity to be a front door to love and serve!
This weekend, we will continue looking at Nehemiah’s journey together and remember that people are the reason for the vision God gives us. This is a great weekend to invite friends and neighbors to come and discover how the Church is the hope of the world!
Looking forward to being with you guys this weekend!
Peace,
Kyle
