JESUS > Fear…Worry…Doubt…Hurt…Addiction…

On Tuesday, our staff gathered to reflect and celebrate the freedom God is bringing to our church, our community, you, and me, as Doug kicked off our powerful weekend message series, Greater Than. In Port Mariners, over 30 kids said “I Believe,” trusting Jesus as their Savior and Leader of their life.

The surrender reflected in the words written by our church family was a beautiful acknowledgement of how God wants to move in our lives – and an honest invitation for Him to make a change in us, so we can change the world around us. I’m so excited about this series and the way it will shape our hearts and lives as we head toward the Thanksgiving season.

So…what did you stop this week? Better yet, what did you start investing in? Are you resting your soul, walking with…and at the pace of Jesus? Or, are you moving through life at the Nascar-like speed of OC? What a great challenge Doug put out there to us last week – an invitation from Jesus to slow down, rest, and enjoy the life of abundance that He promises. I can’t wait for this weekend as Doug returns to kick off our new series from Colossians, “Greater Than.” We’ll look at how we were created to worship and how we all worship something. Identifying the objects of our worship allows us to understand what is influencing our lives. What could change if we each acknowledged that Jesus is > it all?

Also, families with students age 4 through jr high, I heard there are still a few spots left to “hop on the bus” and go serve this Sunday at a mystery location. Nothing shapes our hearts and lives like serving, especially experiencing it through the eyes of a child so I invite you to jump in and see what God might do in and through you! find out more
