Retro

This Sunday, The Pursuit is going old school!

The 60s, 70s, and 80s were all known for a way of life that is still going strong in our day. Our culture has been influenced heavily by the mindsets that arose during those decades. But God calls each of us to a way of life that is radically different from the ideals of those decades.

We will explore on...

• Sunday, August 24: The 60's - Free Yourself
• Sunday, August 31: The 70's - Find Yourself
• Sunday, September 7: The 80's - Suit Yourself

We are going to have some fun with this series!  You better hide your yearbooks because if we get a hold of one this might just happen to you!

New Series: Eat This Book

Any guest who comes to The Pursuit will observe the Bible matters and is relevant to our lives today. God is timeless and so is the book He authored. Every week we give English and Spanish Bibles away. The messages taught each week come from the Bible not from any other place. I have made it a personal commitment to NOT put all Scripture on the screen but ask people to find the main text of the message in their Bibles.

I am so excited and ready to get into our new series, Eat this Book, which starts this Sunday, May 4 and ends May 18.

The prophet Jeremiah says this to God, "When your words came, I ate them; they were my joy and my heart's delight." (15:16)

Job says, "I have treasured the words of His (God's) mouth more than my necessary food." (23:12)

What would it look like if we as individuals consumed the Word of God and allowed ourselves to be changed by it?

On a comical note:

Our dog, Jeter, is taking this message WAY TOO LITERALLY! I found my Bible in the middle of the floor yesterday with a big bite taken out of Genesis! I can't make this stuff up!

Truth Uncensored

This week The Pursuit is going to start a brand new series called Truth Uncensored. As a brand new church we don't want there to be any confusion about our core beliefs.

What The Pursuit Believes about:

The Bible :: Feb. 24
Prayer :: March 2
The Heart & the Gospel :: March 9
The Church :: March 16
Jesus :: March 23 (Easter)

In the Pembroke Pines, Miramar area? I hope you will stop by and check us out.

Searching for Relationships

I have heard several people say how difficult it is to make friends in South Florida. I am so thankful for the people God has pulled together through The Pursuit Christian Church in such a short time. The coolest thing is He is adding new people every single week who come and see a community of people who truly care for one another. To this point, everyone who has come to check out The Pursuit has chosen to be a part of it! While it's likely this will not always be the case, I attribute this to the fact everyone of us wants to be connected with others. After all, God did not design us to go through life alone.

It's absolutely amazing how densely populated South Florida is and yet so many are still missing out on one of the most important elements in life.

You are invited to come and see for yourself! This Sunday is our first official Celebration Service. This is an event you will not want to miss! Below is a map to the Floridian Ballroom at Pines Blvd and 178 in the heart of Pembroke Pines. The service begins at 10:30 a.m. I'd get there early if you can!
