“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” Hebrews 11:1

This week, I was reminded of what a well-rounded faith looks like as I read through our Streams in the Desert devotional from May 12. It talked about a life of faith being formed through so many areas of learning, including the trial of faith, the discipline of faith, the patience of faith, the courage of faith and finally…the victory of faith. I realized that so often I just want to live in the victory of faith without having my faith developed in all of these other areas. I’m praying for you and your faith this week, that it would be well-rounded in the presence and through the power of the Holy Spirit.

I loved celebrating Mother’s Day Weekend with you! What a profound message Kenton and Ines gave us on the power of Moms being beautiful and brave. It was such a joy to meet you and your families on the patio – to have all of the students join us in the Worship Center and to experience the energy, the relationship and the beauty of the gospel on display. I love who we are becoming and what God is doing in each one of us and our families.

This Sunday night, I invite you to join me at the Out of Darkness Premiere. I was with a team in Kenya, at Mavuno Church, when God gave the vision to our friend Prashan to unite Congo around the power of forgiveness and reconciliation and gave the dream of making this documentary to two of my good friends and members of our church. This Sunday is significant as we get to see the fruit of their efforts and the powerful work of redemption God is doing in Congo through our church partner. Please join me. You can purchase tickets and find out more here.

This weekend, we’re back in our Reset series. What a great opportunity to invite someone who is looking for a fresh start – a way to move through life with wisdom, joy, purpose and with the freedom that God intends for every one of us to embrace. I look forward to being with you all this weekend

Peace,

Kyle

What a journey we’re on! I announced on Sunday that we’re in the middle of finalizing a deal to purchase the Regency Movie Theater at Beach/Warner. Miraculous! (More of the story coming soon.) There are still details and decisions that need sorting out in the next 60 days, so please continue to pray this thing into being.

And, we will continue to “STEP IN” faith.

Vision Night: Tonight, 7p. Everyone is welcome. I’ll be sharing my heart behind this move, plus more details about what you can expect and why this is so important. I know you have a life and things happen Thursday evenings—including Clipper games—but we’ll keep it brief and brilliant. See you there!

Media Safe Home—Parenting Seminar with Jim Burns: Sat, May 16, 9a. If you have kids or might have kids soon, you should come to this. Jim is a nationally known speaker on the subject, and he’s NOT boring. He’s fun, engaging, and insightful. You’ll be glad you were there.

Commitment Sunday: May 17, 8:30, 10 & 11:30a. You’ll hear more tonight, but Sunday we’ll be bringing our commitments to the STEP IN campaign. I’m hoping this is an all-play—everybody engaging at some level. Not everyone can give equal gifts, but everyone can give something. When you’re invested, you’re INVESTED. And this is our future, together. So, please come, and be ready to respond to what God is asking you to contribute to the future home of our church. Bonus: TACO CART after all three morning services.

No 6p service—this Sunday only. The Library is kicking us out this Sunday. We’ll be back in action at 6p the following Sunday, May 24th, and we’re likely to have a special treat for the 6p’ers.

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21

Step In Vision Night
Everybody is invited Thursday, May 14 to the Rogers Senior Center at 7p for our Step In building campaign vision night. I’m going to share my heart behind the campaign and more exciting details about the vision and future of our church. Dessert, coffee, and good times served.

Creating a Media-Safe Home: Parenting Seminar with Jim Burns (5/16—details below)
Don’t miss this awesome opportunity to hear from an expert in the world of youth and parenting. My kids are only two and two months, but I plan on being there and taking notes.

Sunday May 17: Step In Commitment Sunday
We’ve been praying about how God would lead each of us to participate in the Step In Campaign–raising money believing in faith that our next church home is on the horizon. Commitment Sunday is the day we invited you to bring your commitment cards for a special service of dedication. Please email Neil with any questions.

Sunday Night May 17: No 6p Service
Due to scheduling issues at the Central Library, we’re canceling the 6p service on May 17. We’ll be packing our whole church into the AM services (8:30, 10, 11:30a) on May 17 for our Commitment Sunday. It will be a party, complete with Oak View Tacos following each service.
