Anchor Passage: (Ecclesiastes 3-4:3) How do we make the most of our time? In an imperfect world, we can still enjoy the seasons of life and make the most of them because God is inviting us to be in awe of Him. Join us as we see how we can hold tightly to Him through every season!

Anchor Passage: (Ecclesiastes 1-2) Ecclesiastes gives us the account of a man who had everything and declared it to be fleeting and futile. His raw and honest reflection helps us see the difference between treating life as gain and receiving life as a gift. Join us as we see how the King of Kings rescues us from the futility of futilities!

Anchor Passage: (1 Corinthians 15:3-4, 17, 20-22, 57) The tomb is empty. Sin and death are defeated. Jesus Christ is alive! Join us this Easter at Mariners Church as we celebrate the good news of Christ’s Resurrection and the joy and hope He brings us.

Anchor Passage: (John 19:16-30, Matthew 27:32-44) All other world religions say “strive” or “work your way to the top.” The cross makes the Christian faith unique because Jesus yells out, “It is finished.” He wins us to Himself through weakness. He accomplishes our victory through death. Join us as we see how His death is the death of our eternal death if we believe in Him!

Anchor Passage: (Matthew 26:36-46) In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus is filled with anguish, so much so that He sweats drops of blood. He’s overwhelmed by what’s in front of Him—His sacrifice on the cross—but He obeys the Father, crying out, “Not my will, but Yours.” Join us as we discover how His obedience becomes ours when we believe in Him!

Anchor Passage: (John 14-16, Acts 1:8) Jesus promises His disciples that even after He leaves them, they will never be alone: God will send the Holy Spirit, who will be with us forever. Jesus even insists it is better for us to have the Spirit within us than Jesus beside us. Join us as we see how the Spirit comforts, convicts, and sends us to reach every nation with the good news of Jesus!

Anchor Passage: (John 13:1-17) In the upper room, Jesus does the unthinkable—He washes His disciples’ feet. To His disciples, Jesus’ actions feel wrong, backward, and beneath Him in dignity. But Jesus insists the path to real greatness is found in serving others. Join us as we see how He serves us too and how we can respond in service to others around us!

Anchor Passage: (Mark 11:11, 15-18) We see the same Jesus who welcomes children fashion a whip and clear out God’s temple, turning over the shopkeepers’ tables. What seems to be a contradiction in His character is really the same passion—to see people encounter His grace. He wanted everything that got in the way of people encountering Him removed, everything that dishonored Him turned over. Join us as we discover how He wants to turn over tables in our lives today.

Anchor Passage: (Luke 19:28-44) On Palm Sunday, Jesus arrives in Jerusalem as the promised King—humble, riding on a donkey, just as the prophet Zechariah had predicted hundreds of years before. Even though the crowd celebrates His arrival, we see Jesus weep for the city, knowing they've missed His true purpose. Join us as we discover how Jesus is a very different King, the only One we really need!

In the Scripture we see that God has set the times and places where people live (Acts 17:26) and that governing leaders are to restrain evil and protect the people under their care (Romans 13:1-3). We also see God command His people to love the immigrant as he loves himself (Leviticus 19:33-34). Christians sometimes have different views on borders and immigration, and we will look at three biblical tensions to hold.

Anchor Passage: (1 Corinthians 6:19-20, Romans 12:1, Psalm 139:13-16) Gym memberships, tattoos, plastic surgery. Our Southern California culture is fixated on body image, looking young, and longevity of life. How should we view our bodies? What should we do with them? What wisdom does the Scripture offer us? Join us as we explore how God views our bodies and what it means to honor God with them!

Anchor Passage: (John 17:20-23, Ephesians 4:1-6, Mark 9:38-40) Jesus prayed that Christians would be “one,” yet there are thousands of Christian denominations worldwide. What happened? Join us as we look at the history of the Church and discover how what unites followers of Jesus is greater than what divides!

Spiritual gifts are often divided into three categories: speaking, serving, and sign gifts. It is the sign gifts—gifts like tongues, prophecy, and healing—that are a source of debate. Some have wrongly made Christians feel incomplete if they don’t have these sign gifts, and others have wrongly made some Christians feel weird for using the sign gifts. Join us as we look at these gifts and see how we can all use our gifts to serve others!

Anchor Passage: (Acts 5:27-29, Romans 13:1-3) The apostle Paul instructed Christians in Rome to submit to all the governing authorities, and he wrote those words when Nero, an evil tyrant who killed his own mother and burned his own city, was the emperor. Yet there are other passages where God’s people refused to obey their earthly leaders. How do we know when to obey and when to disobey the leaders of our day and the leaders in the land? Join us as we look at the wisdom Scripture offers!

Anchor Passage: (Hebrews 9:27, 2 Corinthians 5:1-9) One of the great mysteries of life is how we are able to live without thinking much about death, though we all will die. How can we live with hope, even though we know life will end one day? What happens to us after we die? Join us as we discover what the Bible says about death and our hope for those who trust in Jesus! First Time?
