How is your focus on your family going? Do you feel busied and hurried? Is your schedule too full? Is it even possible to slow a family down in Orange County! We believe the answer is “YES” but we will need to learn to say ‘no’ to some things if we will ever get there, and that can be very hard. With your vision statement in process, bring your heart on Sunday and we will work on this family thing...

Sometimes in our highly individualistic society we forget just how important it is that God has placed all of us into a family. We are so pleased to kick into a brand new series and look forward to sharing it with you this Sunday. It is called Family Anthem. In this opening week, we will share why a family is so very important to every one of us, and how we can make our family one of our highest p...

This Sunday we will take a good look at the Good News! Do you find yourself overwhelmed and enamored by the joy the birth of Jesus? Christmas is the celebration of the greatest turning point in the story of God’s love for the world. Jesus is born, and that changes everything for us. This is such good news for us all, and such good news to share with others.

Are you noticing people more? Are you listening for the voice of our Savior for ways to show compassion and kindness rather than trying so hard for only rightness? I wonder how our report card from the world would change if we learned to notice, listen and care for people more. Would they begin to care more about knowing our God if we began to care more for them? This Christmas we are seeking to g...

The Christmas season has arrived! It is time to celebrate the birth of our King Jesus. In fact 91% of Americans will celebrate Christmas this year but sadly many of them will be disconnected from its reality- the person and work of Jesus Christ on their behalf! What difference can we make in that disconnection? We can make a huge difference if we are willing to step into that gap, and this week we...

Where do we find our daily strength to live out this supernatural spiritual life of following Jesus together? We find our strength in His mighty power-- we are dependent creatures for the power we need. And what is that power? The Holy Spirit empowers us to be Christ’s witnesses! So, be filled with the Holy Spirit! That is the key to living this life of following Jesus together. That is the battle...

This week will bring us to the pinnacle of our series in Ephesians, ‘Stand Strong.’ For the next 3 weeks we will learn the lessons of Ephesians 6:10-20 and what it means to be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. We'll also learn what it means to put on the full armor of God in order to stand against the enemy and walk in the victory of Jesus Christ that is already ours. This is the time to...

What a great week this will be to talk together about the household that is built on the bedrock of God’s Word! As we are in a series that is all about how to stand strong, there is a clear call to know where we stand on the issues of family, marriage, parenting and running a house. Ephesians 5:22-6:9 is the definitive passage for taking a look at the household following Jesus, and we will have a...

Ephesians has been teaching us to Stand Strong in our faith and fight well in the battle! Last week we committed ourselves to using our words not to injure or offend but rather to build up and give grace to others. This week we will learn to live in the new light of our lives- the light of Christ. Ephesians 5:1-20 will call us to make the most of our opportunities as we live as 'Light in the Lord!...
