This Week's Message
How the Church Prepares for Jesus

In this sermon, Wes reminds the church that while we live in the middle of a spiritual war with deception, temptation, and worldly seduction all around us, our ultimate calling is to prepare for the wedding of the Lamb. Drawing from Revelation, Genesis, and the story of the Church in Ephesus, he emphasizes that holiness, faithfulness, and love for Jesus are the true weapons of spiritual warfare. Rather than striving in fear or fighting like the world, the Bride makes herself ready through daily obedience, steadfast love, and living as people whose lamps are burning for the Bridegroom.

The New Bulletin
Our New Website Is Live — Just in Time for Kick-Off Sunday Oceanside is growing. More people, more ministries, more happening every single week — which is a good problem to have, and also a real one. The more is happening, the easier it is for something to slip past you. So with Kick-Off Sunday just days away, we thought it was the right moment to launch something new: our brand new website, live today. The biggest addition is one we've never had before — a weekly bulletin, right on the site, updated every week with what's coming up and what's happening across our ministries. And you don't have to remember to go check it. Subscribe, and you'll get a notification the moment a new post goes up. A few other things that came with the new site: Posts from every ministry, in one place. ONE80 Kids, Ocean Youth, Discipleship Groups, Rooted, and more all now have a home for their own updates — so you can follow what matters most to you and your family without digging around.See All Posts A new events calendar. Everything coming up at Oceanside, laid out and up to date, so you can actually plan around it instead of hearing about it after the fact.See Events A site that's finally caught up with us. Cleaned up, current, and built to keep pace as we grow — no more outdated pages or information that's a season behind. As we grow, we want to make sure growing together doesn't mean anyone gets left out of the loop. This is one more way we're trying to make that easier. Click subscribe below to get notified every time a new bulletin goes up — and we'll see you Sunday.
