As we started our “Christian?” series this past week, we got such a great response. I’m so encouraged by the questions that so many of you have about Jesus. I love that Mariners Church Mission Viejo is a community of people willing to wrestle with truly meaningful questions about faith and life. Even more so, I love that so many of you are willing to include your friends and neighbors (who also have questions about faith) in that same journey.
The way Jesus talked about and advocated for the poor is a powerful and magnetic force for people who are curious about faith. Even the most hardened skeptics are drawn to Jesus’ compassion for the people living in the margins of society. This week, “Outreach Weekend”, we’ll take a look at some of what it means to join Jesus in his work among the poor. Jesus is beautifully made apparent when his people (his followers) take seriously what it means to serve and bless the poor among us.
Looking forward to seeing you this weekend,
Jeff
