Jump Ship

so i am very excited, and a bit overwhelmed, to speak this coming Sunday. it has been a while, and there is so much i am convinced that God has laid on my heart to share. last weekend Evan left the challenge to step outside your comfort zone, and i added to that challenge to think of your life as if on a lifeboat as you step outside that comfort zone.

my hope is that this Sunday's message will be an interactive one. i hope and trust that, most of you, have been faithful to the challenge(s) presented to you last service. with all i feel compelled to present i hope there can be some honest dialogue within and throughout the message.

it is rare, in fact i don't think its ever happened before, that i have come up with a message title before the day of the message. so in a message i have titled "Jump Ship" (keeping with the lifeboat premise) my hope is to have an honest-brutally honest- interactive, and challenging dialogue touching on living a life of holiness pointing to the glory and love of Christ.

Jesus 2.0

I'm really excited for Sunday's message. We will see Jesus in a way many of us has seen. We will see God establish Jesus as an authority and establish Him as God.

SYATP Prayer Night

Last night was so wonderful.  It was so great getting together with so many great churches and simply pray.  God was in the room and God did amazing things.  I earnestly look forward to this Wednesday at 7am where people across America will gather and pray.  It was an awesome night I will not forget soon.

See You At The Pole Night of Prayer

Every year on a Wednesday in September, schools across America, even the world gather at their flag poles and simply pray.  This year the See You At The Pole event is on Wednesday September 23rd.  But we wanted to get ready for the event in a special way.  The Sunday before on September 20th we will have a sweet night of worship.  Over 10 churches will be gathering together at Ocean Hills at 7pm and praying.  Feel free to come early, the skate park will open at 6pm and is available to all.  (Helmets provided and required).  Also after the service a coffee shop will be open on campus with snacks and drinks.  For directions visit the Ocean Hills website.  If you are coming with your church or youth group, ask them or visit their website for specific meeting times and locations.

Who's your daddy?

If you ask this little one, she will say Evan is her daddy! Avagail Beloved Liewer was born Friday morning at 4:35am.  Right now mommy and baby are sleeping....  www.avagail.com, that's right,  I already bought her website.

Revelation Study

I have been gearing up full bore for our next study, Life in Eternity.  It seems that the book of Revelation is the book most people have questions on in the Scriptures.  The book being apocalyptic in nature is full of mysteries and symbols that scholars spend their lives studying.  Well, we will be going through the book in Depth until March of 2010.  Every week we will come across some very tough and difficult questions.  The book of Revelation is our future, the things contained in this book will occur and as diligent Christians we need to be prepared.  So starting September 27th we are going to dive right in and if you come to each study you too will become a Revelation expert!

Back Inside

The previous post was how amazing it was meeting outside, and dont get me wrong, its beautiful outside, but we are moving back indoors.  Starting this Sunday we will be meeting in the Chapel right next to the Cafe.  A little warmer, a little bigger, and screens for worship.  I've been working a while on the new series and we have some test artwork already, Kevin loves it, I like it (even though I made it) and Billy thinks it's hilarious.  This series in Revelation starting in September is going to ROCK!
