Mariners Church Irvine

There is nothing you could do that would surprise our God, and no where you could go that would remove yourself from God's presence. We rejoice in His deep love for us, no matter where we are! We learn in Psalm 139 that God's plans for you and love for you holds us together, always.

Have you ever stopped to wonder what the God of the universe thinks of? Would it surprise you to hear that He thinks of YOU? This weekend Pastor Kyle Costello dives into Psalm 8 and the overwhelming truth that our God thinks of us and loves us deeply.

In the launch of our new series, Fully Known and Fully Loved, we learn that God invites us into relationship with Him. Watch to hear more about the freedom we experience when we live fully in that invitation.

How can we trust that God is with us when we feel completely abandoned by Him? Pastor Eric delivers the hope-filled message written in the Psalms that because Jesus was abandoned for you, we will never be abandoned. Jesus was given up on the cross for you so we’d forever be His sons and daughters.

Who and what, do we choose to worship? For all of us, there comes a time in our lives where we make this decision. This weekend Pastor Eric explores God's Word for the answers on why what we choose to worship matters and what it means for our lives.

God’s life-changing love and everlasting hope in Him is what keeps our strength in difficult times. When God feels far away from us, we hold fast to His promises, His love, His hope. We discover that He stands with us and uses all things for our growth.

“Can we complain to God? We learn this weekend that God desires us to come to Him with our complaints. Why? How? Watch and discover as Eric teaches us from the Psalms.”

Why do bad things happen to good people? Do we have a just God? Pastor Eric Geiger takes us to Psalm 73 to explore one of life’s hardest questions — why is life not fair? Watch as we learn what God’s Word says to us in response.

Can we have confidence in Christ, in the midst of crisis? Pastor Steve Bang Lee teaches us on the importance of remembering God's faithfulness, and how doing so gives us the confidence to stand through any storm.

Even in a season of waiting, we never have to wait for God’s grace. Kenton Beshore shows us in the Psalms that when we seek God’s face, our fears are driven out and the grace and peace of Christ fills our spirit.

It’s not our burden to carry the weight of our sins, Jesus has paid it all! As we look to the Psalms, Eric teaches us that when we uncover our sins and shame, that God covers it through our surrender to Him.

How do we calm and quiet our soul in the midst of a storm? We look to God’s word and discover that it’s not on our own strength that we find peace, but through surrendering to The Lord that we can rest in the calm and quiet of His spirit.

How do we find security in the midst of insecurity? Pastor Doug Fields teaches us the importance of looking to God’s promises, connecting with others, and finding stillness with our Father.

When we experience difficulties, we are reminded that our joy comes from The Lord. That He is our cup, and that His promises to never leave us are true.

Through the outline of the cross, we see the light of the new life offered in the resurrection, and through the outline of the cross, God now sees us as sinless.

In the midst of a crisis, our natural instinct is to look inside ourselves or outwards to others for help. It works temporarily, until we discover the disappointment of leaving it all up to us or another person to carry the weight that overwhelms us. God’s Word gives us a better place to turn—upwards towards our Heavenly Father where we discover a reliable, endless source of peace in Him.

When chaos hits, it feels impossible to think clearly. What do we turn to, to ground our minds and hearts? We may not have certainty over the future, what will happen tomorrow, or how things will turn out; but with God’s Word and love as our foundation, we can have absolute clarity that our unchanging Father is with us.

In the middle of a crisis, we need to talk to ourselves to remind ourselves of the truth of who God is and who we are in Him. We must put our hope in God and praise Him still because He is our savior.

Where do we as Christians run in the middle of a crisis? Psalm 57 tells us that instead of running to things and circumstances that change, we can run to God's everlasting love which never changes. Ultimately, where we run to reveals what we worship.

What does Philippians 3:18-21 say about the vice of gluttony? It shows us three problems about it: 1) Both body abuse and body adoration make gods out of good gifts, 2) neither body abuse or body worship leaves you satisfied, 3) both body abuse and body adoration are focused on the temporary. It also shows us three solutions to remedy gluttony: 1) You were knit together by God, 2) you are a child of the King, 3) you are a temple of the Holy Spirit.
