Well we are now six weeks into our series Heroes, with two more weeks remaining. We have been talking about what it looks like to live life heroically. Hopefully over the past six weeks God has put something on your heart that you want to go after, or something in your life that you want to give up, or even something in your life through God’s strength that you want to do or become. This week we are going to look at the obstacles that get in the way of our desire to live life heroically, through the life of Nehemiah. It’s a great story, you are not going to want to miss it.

Also, did you know we have built a baptism on campus? We are going to do our first baptism as Mariners Ocean Hills Church on March 30th. If you, or someone you know would like to be baptized, please let them know. I am going to do a message on Baptism on March 23rd, attending this service will be a “prerequisite” to being baptized.  Instead of having a baptism class, the whole church is going to learn what baptism is all about, so please put that down as well.

See you on Sunday, rain or shine…

Haven’t you enjoyed the Beautiful Mess series? Wrestling with our core identity…inviting God to heal and remind us of who we are as His “dearly loved children”…becoming the loving spouses, friends, and parents God created us to be. So many of you have told me about the impact of this series on your thinking and how you are choosing to live differently as a result of what God has prompted. This weekend we’ll be concluding the series with the foundational qualities that will keep all of us aimed in the direction God has called us, and Kenton will be giving people the opportunity to say “I Believe”, declaring their intent to trust and follow Jesus wholeheartedly. Don’t let a little rain distract you – invite your friends and neighbors to join us for a powerful weekend.

Tomorrow night is Fight Night! There’s still time to register and join us, or just show up and learn how to be more healthy and effective in your relational communication. More info and registration is available below.

Also, next week we begin our journey to Easter with Ash Wednesday. This marks the beginning of Lent, where we take time to prepare and remember the sacrifice of Jesus for each of us. For the first time, we will be hosting Ash Wednesday services in the chapel at noon and 7p. We’d love for you to join us as we journey through the Lenten season to Easter together.

Peace…

Annual Read Week 9

We have been reading through the book of Leviticus, which at times can feel tedious, but don’t loose heart. Leviticus is written during the time when God is leading Israel through the wilderness to the promise land. It is the story of God dealing with his people, taking the initiative to be in relationship with humankind. Leviticus spells out the way in which God seeks to orient the people of Israel around the worship of God, breaking them of false gods from surrounding cultures and from their time as slaves in Egypt.

As you read, notice Gods heart for his people and what it means for them to be wholly devoted to the God that delivered them from slavery and wants to use them to bless the whole world.

Keep up the reading; we are almost onto the book of Hebrews. Remember if you fall too far behind feel free to just skip ahead to the current day.

Grace and Peace,

With the close of the Sochi Olympic Games, we too are bringing our series, A Beautiful Mess, to a close this weekend. We promise, no ring-fails or drawn out historical tributes. Just good people, great music, and a message that will make you think all week. You don’t want to miss this.

In our commitment to promoting healthy relationships we’ve made several special opportunities available:

Fight Night: A perfect date — learning, laughs, and childcare. Learn more and sign up here.

Ballroom Dancing: There are still a few spots available for ballroom dancing (hosted at the YMCA in HB), but you have to sign up on the patio, or email Kevin White.

Marriage Mentoring: Get paired up with a couple who cares. Sign up on the patio or email Eric and Lori Johnson.

See you Sunday.
