Come to Starting Point This Sunday, 12/2

The church is like a body with many members (1 Cor. 12:12). Our lives are connected. We need one another. Church membership is our way of ensuring everyone who belongs to our congregation enjoys the benefits and privileges of being Sovereign Grace Church.

We want to make it simple for anyone interested in becoming a member of Sovereign Grace Church to pursue the process. If you’ve been visiting for any length of time, this class is for you. Click the link below and register for the class on the afternoon of Sunday, December 2. Lunch and childcare will be provided.

Jesus Is God At Work

Jesus did many works while on earth. In this last Sunday’s message out of John 10:22-42, Jesus explains in His own words what the meaning of His works are. More than just a history lesson, though; Jesus is continuing to work today - saving sanctifying, sustaining. His words concerning His works apply just as much today as they did then. Jesus was and continues to be God at work.

Will You Help And Commit To Providing Any Number of Wishes?

James 1:27 identifies components of “true religion”, or, in other words, characteristics of a lifestyle that brings glory to God. The first characteristic that James mentions is “to visit orphans and widows in their affliction”. Our Heavenly Father has sought us out and brought us into His family in Christ. It makes sense, then, why God places a high priority for His Church on those (orphans and widows) who are alone and without family.

This Christmas, Sovereign Grace Santa Ana will be helping to supply a little more joy to children and youth in the Orange County foster system.

Olive Crest, an organization that serves foster children and youth has a Christmas program called “Be The Miracle”. Earlier this year, every foster youth and foster child in Olive Crest, many of whom live in Santa Ana, were asked what they want for Christmas. They were each given a number of $50 and $25 wishes. Those wishes are turned into “wish slips”. Donors from the community, then, in turn, fulfill them.

This year, we’ll be participating. And you can request any number of wish slips. Email kyle@sovgraceoc.org no later than Wednesday, 11/21 to request a specific number of $50 wish slips or $25 wish slips. Wish slips that have been requested will be distributed Sunday, November 25. Gifts will then be due at church by Sunday, December 2.

The Leader We Need Is a Leader Who Bleeds

Is authority good or bad? Should you submit to authority? Do we need leaders in our time? If so, what kind of leader should we follow? In John 10, Jesus addresses these questions and others through the imagery of a Shepherd and sheep. He makes it clear that there are leaders with poor intentions- and they’re everywhere. But there is one leader that everyone should follow. Because He’s good. We know He’s good because He’s willing to go to the greatest lengths possible to care for His sheep.

CHRISTMAS EVE CHOIR

This year, we’ll host our Christmas Sunday service in Santa Ana on Sunday December 23rd and then on the night of Christmas Eve, we’ll join our friends at Sovereign Grace Orange for a Christmas Eve service.

The Christmas Eve service is quickly approaching and we are inviting you to sing in the choir.

All we require is that:

1. You love to sing (we welcome singers of all skill levels)

2. You can commit to one rehearsal before Christmas Eve

3. You can be there on Christmas Eve

If you meet those requirements then contact pastor Dustin Smetona here.

We love our partnerships with other Gospel-proclaiming churches in Orange County - especially the church that Sovereign Grace Santa Ana came from. This past Sunday, we had the privilege of hosting Grant Sigafoos from Sovereign Grace Church of Orange as he preached to us from John 9:1-41.

A Meeting Specifically For Guests

Since we began meeting as a church in 2017, many new faces have arrived. Many new people are part of Sovereign Grace Church of Santa Ana. We want to make sure that each of those people has every opportunity to be as much a part of the church as possible.

A One-Day, 2-3 Hour Class To Help You Learn About The Church

Starting Point is a one-day, 2-3 hour class held at the Houlton home immediately after Sunday service. Lunch will be served. You’ll learn what the church believes and how those beliefs are put into practice in the life of the church. You’ll learn how you can serve and how the church can serve you as you pursue Christ. It’s a safe place to ask questions.

If you’ve been a guest for 2 weeks or 6 months, this class is for you.

If you’d like to RSVP, email pastor Kyle Houlton at kyle@sovgraceoc.org.

This last Sunday, our little church plant turned one year old. God has been faithful to us and to our city. He has used us, but He has spread the joy of Jesus in DTSA. This is something worth celebrating - and celebrating with food, friends, piñatas and kickball. Check out the photo album to see the fun that was had by all. (Photo credit: Emilce Sivil)
