Simeon and Anna

Tags : 

Continuing to follow the early life of Jesus we now find ourselves entering the temple for the dedication of Jesus. Here we run into two characters, Simeon and Anna. Simeon had spent his life in preparation of the promise of the deliverance of Israel and Anna, a widow for the majority of her live, lived in the temple praying and waiting for the redemption of Israel. It seems that their entire lives had been lived waiting for this one particular encounter with the Jesus and his parents.

 

That much focus, that much dedication, all leading to a specific moment. Had Simeon or Anna decided that they deserved a break, or if they were distracted by trying to capture the perfect Instagram photo op. or just simply to tired to pick their heads up off the floor they could have missed it. An entire live’s preparation missed because of distraction.

 

What are we living to accomplish? How do we prepare for our live’s purpose? What is our live’s purpose? Join us tonight as we take a look at living a life of preparation.

 

Doors open at 3:30, dinner at 5:15, and the experience to follow.

Direction

Direction.

 

Maybe you have a strong sense of it, maybe you do not. No matter how strong your sense of direction or purpose; chances are, somewhere a long the line the direction you thought you were headed ended up taking you somewhere quite unexpected. These disruptions in our self-realized grand schemes can either send us spiraling or we can allow them to refocus us.

 

As we continue to follow the early life of Jesus we find the small family in a bit of danger as Herod’s anger pours over the land of Bethlehem, claiming the lives of every infant in and around the place that Jesus was born. Thanks to Joseph’s willingness to listen and act, Jesus life was spared. However; this small family finds themselves fleeing to Egypt. Egypt, a land that previously their people had been enslaved and brutally mistreated for so many years. A place that was once a symbol of oppression and suffering now acting as a haven of shelter.

 

Whatever we may have planned for our futures or the directions we foresee our lives headed, twists and turns in the road don’t have to mean failure, but can often be God’s way of keeping us on track for a successful future.

 

Join us tonight at the usual time the usual times: doors open at 3:30, dinner at 5:15, and the experience to follow.

 

See you tonight!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

 

I hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday season!

 

Tonight we reenter into our Outreach Night Experiences with the arrival of light. Join us as we take a look at the beginning of Jesus’ life and journey toward the start of his ministry. This month we are going to focus on remembering the past and looking toward the future as we revisit some old OASIS classic experiences and follow the early years of Jesus’ life.

 

In honor of The Force Awakens we may not be playing with light sabers, but there definitely will be saber lights! You will not want to miss the old OASIS style flashlight tag, complete with tunnels and smoke machines.

 

See you tonight!
