“We need to brace ourselves up and to realize that we are responsible for thoughts, attitudes, and actions. We need to reckon on the fact that we died to sin's reign, that it no longer has any dominion over us, that God has united us with the risen Christ in all His power and has given us the Holy Spirit to work in us. Only as we accept our responsibility and appropriate God's provisions will we make any progress in our pursuit of holiness.”
-Jerry Bridges

The quote above is from The Pursuit of Holiness, the book we’ll be studying in the Men’s Study this Fall.

Pastor Dustin will host and lead our study on the second Tuesday of each month beginning in September. Spots are limited and you must be able to commit to a series of meetings.

This is a place for men to talk like men about God. This is a place for men to grow.

Gentlemen, get yourselves registered.

*Deadline to register is August 31st.

We Love Singing New Songs Together

To be redeemed by Christ is to live to magnify the glory of our awesome God. This Sunday we teach you a new song to do just that. Listen above or on our Spotify playlist and come ready to join your voice with ours this week.

ONLY A HOLY GOD

Verse 1
Who else commands all the hosts of heaven?
Who else could make every king bow down?
Who else can whisper and darkness trembles?
Only a holy God

Verse 2
What other beauty demands such praises?
What other splendor outshines the sun?
What other majesty rules with justice?
Only a holy God

Chorus
Come and behold Him
The one and the only
Cry out, sing holy
Forever a holy God
Come and worship the holy God

Verse 3
What other glory consumes like fire?
What other power can raise the dead?
What other name remains undefeated?
Only a holy God

(Chorus x2)

Verse 4
Who else could rescue me from my failing?
Who else would offer His only Son?
Who else invites me to call Him Father?
Only a holy God
Only my holy God!

(Chorus x2)

A Meal Together in the Middle of Town

Immediately following our Sunday service, we will spill out into the Plaza for lunch together. We live our lives for Jesus and for our neighbors. Having lunch in plain sight is one way we make ourselves available to the city God has called us to.

Bring a chair or blanket. Bring your lunch, grab lunch from one of the fabulous eateries around town, or take advantage of our Buck-O-Slice Pizza.

We can’t wait to enjoy lunch with you this week.

Women Talking Like Women About God

Our Women’s Study is an opportunity to delve deeper into theological topics looking for ways these truths can be applied to the unique roles and callings of women.

This Fall, we learn about developing and growing deep, godly friendships. How do we overcome feelings of isolation and loneliness? How do we fit more relationships into our hectic schedules? How do we embrace the people God has put in our lives?

The book that will guide our discussions is Messy Beautiful Friendships by Christine Hoover.

Women's Study is for all female regular attenders of Sovereign Grace Church age 14 and older.  The next session starts on August 27th. Let us know you’re interested in joining by clicking the link below.

Get registered right away.

Being a musician in our church is a delight. There's nothing more rewarding than leading people in song who love to sing. And Sovereign Grace Church loves to sing.

We make music for the glory of God.
We make musicians who glorify God.

Our aim on the worship team is to make musicians who exhibit "undistracting excellence" as they offer their talents to bring God glory and build His church. Musicians who get maximum joy when they hear God's people sing.

If you have musical talent, we want to hear from you.

If you are a member or a regular attender pursuing membership, fill out the form below and we will be in touch about having you audition for the team. The commitment is for 1 year beginning in September.

Every church needs a place to meet

For 7+ years our place has been the Woman’s Club of Orange. This building represents God’s provision to us. This building speaks to the history and community of our city. Though not without its quirks, we love meeting here.

Pray for our lease negotations

This week, we are working to renew our lease with the Woman’s Club. Our hope is to stay here and there’s no reason to think we won’t.

Pray that God would give us favor.

Pray for the women of the Woman’s Club who steward this building for the good of our city.

Pray for the property manager and his staff who take care of this beautiful, historic building.

Friday Morning in the Sun and Sand

The end of summer is fast approaching. Enjoy it with us while you can.

Join us at 10am this Friday at Corona Del Mar State Beach. Bring your chairs, your suncreen, your towels, and your lunch.

Stay updated about all our outings by following our playgroup Facebook page. And keep a weather eye on our summer calendar.

We publish updates on our financial status throughout the year. A final annual report is published every Fall.

These figures represent the grace of God at work in the members and friends of our local church. It's unmistakable. God is being kind towards us and we want to thank Him and you.

Thank you.

Of course, numbers are only a small fraction of all the way our church is contributing to the ministry of our church. Wouldn't it be great if we could publish a monthly report on your generous affections for one another? Or all the hours you spend together? Thank you for living no longer for yourselves but for God and your neighbor!

May the accounting of His provisions encourage your faith. Please continue to pray that we would steward it all for the advance of His gospel and the good of His church.
