We Are Free To Love Others More Than Ourselves

For God's Sake

On Sunday Pastor Eric preached from Romans 14:13-23. He reminded us that Jesus has made us free. We are free to do all kinds of things that bring us joy and please Him. But our freedoms can hurt our brothers and sisters. When they do, we are free to love them by restricting ourselves. We no longer ask, "What can I get away with?" We ask, "How can I glorify God while doing good to those for whom Christ died?"

When We Don't Like God's Methods

The Second Complaint

On Sunday, church member Grant Sigafoos continued our 3-week series in Habakkuk preaching from Habakkuk 1:12-2:20. He reminded us that God's ways often leave us scratching our heads. Or worse, His ways upset us. He uses evil people for good purposes. He authorizes tragedy instead of preventing it. In these moments, our great act of faith is simply to pour out our complaints to God and then wait for Him to respond.

Patio Takeovers In Old Towne Orange

Old Towne Orange has no shortage of great places to eat. And any given Sunday after church you can find members of our church building community over lunch (the picture above is case in point).

Don't Waste Your Lunch

It's tempting to race home after church each Sunday. Kids are hungry and tired. Adults are hungry and tired. We get it.

But the lunch hour on Sunday is an opportunity to make connections and deepen friendships. Capitalize on it. Invite someone to lunch. Find a group that's heading out. Invite someone over to your house for lunch. Use those couple hours after the service to love one another (John 13:34) and show hospitality (Rom. 12:13). It pleases God and it strengthens the church.

Sovereign Grace On The Dance Floor

WE LOVE ORANGE

It's no secret we love the city of Orange. God has planted us here. We love the people. We love the culture. This is home.

Now, our love for this city has been written in stone. Well brick. Our name is on one of the bricks of the Hart Park Bandshell Dance Floor. You can find it on the diagram and look for it the next time you're down there. You may notice another familiar family name on there as well.

We Said "Good Pie" To Good Friends

SAYING GOODBYE IN FAITH

Christian, Leah, and their daughter Cana are relocating to Northern California. On Wednesday, their small group hosted a "good pie" party to send them off with our affection. We are sad to see them go but trust that the Lord is at work. May He use them to serve His purposes in their new city.
