COMING UP: Christmas at Coast |||||| the STORY of Christmas

Talented musicians, young people singing Christmas songs, skits, creative media, and special guest: Peter Bingley...you won't want to miss Christmas at Coast this year.  Invite a friend, bring your family, and enjoy a Sunday of celebrating Christmas.

P.S.  Those of you who would like to join us, we are going Christmas caroling on Friday 12/16 at a few convalescent and retirement homes, then we'll be downtown Ventura.  Email/contact for more info.  

WHEN: SUNDAY, 12/18/16, 1:00pm

WHERE: Coast Church - 2734 Johnson Dr. Ventura, CA Suite A

WHO: Open to everyone and FREE to attend.  

Who were the "wise men" and why did they come so far?  How did Joseph feel about his virgin fiancee becoming pregnant?  Why was nobody "that important" there for the birth of the most important man ever born?  

These are some of the things that we will talking about as we read the STORY OF JESUS in an intimate setting on Christmas Eve Eve Eve (better known as the Thursday before Christmas).  Instead of our Coast Groups (small groups Bible study) in Ventura, Oxnard, and Calabasas we will gather at the church to take time and hear the STORY...like we've never heard it before!  

Let Christ come alive this Christmas, hear the STORY, and be inspired by the MIRACLE that was Jesus' birth in a manger 2000 years ago.  

WHEN: 12/22 at 7:00pm

WHERE: Coast Church Ventura - 2734 Johnson Dr. Ventura Suite A

WHO:  Open to all, bring your friends and family. 

David and Goliath - The Most Powerful Part of the Story You've Been Missing All Along

It is so easy to live life in a box the way the world, your past, your family, your traditions, etc. tell you to. This sermon series by Pastor Scott is titled, "Step Up and Step Out" and we are journeying through Bible stories of ordinary people who had extraordinary faith. A young man named David lived a life above and beyond what he ever would have imagined all because he was willing to "step up and step out" in faith. Join us on Sundays in Ventura at 4:00pm at 4300 Telegraph Rd. or in one of our weekly Coast Community Groups meeting in Ventura, Oxnard, Calabasas, and other locations nearby. Or consider partnering with us to reach others by giving generously at www.CoastChurch.com/give. We pray that this message will encourage you to take a bold step of faith today. www.coastchurch.com/give

What has been a "built up frustration" in 2015 and what are you planning on doing in 2016 to overcome it?  Tune in next week (or better yet, join us on Sunday at 4:00pm in Ventura, CA) to see how one Bible story shows us how we can grow BETTER instead of BITTER.
