Jesus stepped into human history over 2,000 years ago. He lived for 33 years, fully God and fully man. He is the son of God and came to bring peace to a world at war with itself. In humility, Jesus chose to sacrifice himself on the cross so that whoever believes in him could have eternity with him in heaven. He took on the weight of all the wrong + darkness humanity had ever created
Did you see the viral Facebook post about the Dad + Bonus Dad who took photos with their little girl before the daddy daughter dance?…so adorable! What about the viral video of Dad + Stepdad with their daughter on her wedding day? They are getting along, smiling, working together, co-parenting. This is all GREAT! But it’s not typical. And if you are a blended family, you know that even these news-worthy stories probably have their own
#1 - AWE. If you would have told me 5 years ago all that God was going to do through Oasis, I’m not sure I would have believed you! I’m in awe. #2 - PLANS. God’s plans are so much bigger than our dreams and He is able to do so much more than we could ever ask! (Isaiah 55:8) #3 - COURAGE - I’m asking God to give me the courage to dream bigger…I was
Sitting here trying to wrap my mind around the past five years…it’s been an incredible journey. I’m blown away at God’s faithfulness to us. I am overwhelmed with both thankfulness AND excitement…I’m THANKFUL because God is allowing me to be a part of this…and I’m EXCITED because Philippians 1:6 reminds me, “God is NOT finished” and “OUR BEST DAYS are in front of us!” Reflecting back, I can distinctly remember… -Our very first worship service on
How I SEE the Bible matters. If I see the Bible merely as a Weapon, then God becomes a military leader and all the Christians are just soldiers in his army. So I run to the Bible when I'm trying to prove a point or win an argument. Before I know it I'll be using the Bible to attack people. If I see the Bible merely as a Rule Book, then God becomes a Cop looking
Slow down. Your twenties are foundational for the rest of your life. Slow down and focus on your foundation. Identity, character development, spiritual formation, ethics and healthy habits are so important right now. Seems like you want to have everything your parents have in their 50s…now. You want to be married. You want a house. You want it fully furnished. You want children. You want the perfect 9-5 job with salary & benefits. You want to go on
#1 – When Did You Begin Following Jesus? I became a Christian when I was in 9th grade while living at the Falcon Children’s Home. My decision to follow Jesus was largely influenced by a man named Mark, who worked at the Children’s Home. But Mark was more than an employee, he was like a Dad to a lot of us kids. I respected him, felt loved and cared for by him, and I was
God is moving at Oasis. There is no other explanation for the things we are seeing happen. Every Sunday we are seeing new faces, families are returning, and people are deciding to make Oasis their “home”. It is an amazing feeling to be a part of a growing church. There are a number of reasons why a church grows. Many churches grow as a result of church hoppers (people who hop from one church to another
#1 – 20/20 - I'm starting a new series this Sunday. It's a vision series. I know there are a lot of people who are just “kicking tires” at Oasis. A lot of people are still “church shopping.” Well, here’s an opportunity to learn all the "information" you need while you are still feeling everything out around here.
