We were created to worship and 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?
Our weekend message series through November 25
Times and directions for each of our campuses:
HB Campus
MV Campus
IR Campus
Join the couples of Mariners Church Mission Viejo for an afternoon of delicious food, some friendly competition and a chance to meet new people and deepen friendships.
Bring your best chili and a hearty appetite to Stoneybrooke Christian School in Ladera Ranch. We’ll have prizes for the tastiest chili, fun games and great opportunities for fellowship. Kids are welcome, of course.
Please email Katie Sigmon if you plan to participate in the cook-off, or just come and join in the fun if you’re not the chili-making type.
Hope to see you there!

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

So… Hilary and are 6 1/2 months pregnant. (We’re very excited about that, by the way!) I’m also starting to feel some of the soon-to-be realities coming on. Life will change dramatically, I realize. But in the bigger picture, we’re talking about a human life here! Someone who will be completely dependent on Hilary and me for EVERYTHING… and someone who will look like and behave like Hilary and me. Exciting… and scary!
Someone wise once taught me that “We reproduce what we are.” When it comes to a kid, he will be impacted by who I am. Not just my DNA, but also my habits, my language, my spiritual growth, etc. It’s a blessing, and a big responsibility.
From a church point of view, we’re leading and participating in Rooted Groups, Life Groups, Volunteer Teams… and we’re reproducing who we are. Our teams and groups reflect us. That begs the question: Are you growing? Are you continuing in the life that God has marked out for you? Obviously, none of us are perfect. But we all want to make sure we’re going (and growing) in the right direction. Jack Hayford told me: “God is not as interested in our perfection as He is in our direction.”
THIS SUNDAY, I’m excited to talk about the SECRET of spiritual growth. This will be an encouraging message. I look forward to seeing you this weekend.
