Build My Church Hub Sign-Ups
Deacons - on 4/27 we will officially launch our "Build My Church" initiative and for 6 weeks we'll have an informational hub in the lobby that we hope to 'staff' with you as we rally the church behind the idea that the local church is the most important institution in the world. We'll have two pastors and a few other church staff at this hub for each service but we'd like to have 4-6 of you join us each service during this 6 week series to help rally the troops, engage with our congregation as they walk through the plans for the building, and help to build excitement about this initiative and all the Lord is doing to build his church through CBCTV. Please consider signing up to serve for any of the weekend services using this link.
Prepare Your Group For Resurrection Week Live & Good Friday
Resurrection Week Live begins next Sunday night, April 13, running through Thursday night, April 17, 8pm-8:30pm each night. Encourage the members of your Life Groups to watch each night - in the past, some groups have even gotten together to watch it with each other.
Good Friday, April 18, we will have two services: 4:30pm and 6:00pm. We will have limited Kids Min at those services - up to 2nd Grade. Be sure to let your Life Group members know about these services and encourage them to attend.
Eggstravaganza Prep During Life Group Fellowship
On April 8th and 10th, Morgan and the Kids Min team are asking Life Groups to use their fellowship time to help stuff eggs for Eggstravaganza. The Kids Ministry team will bring supplies to your group. Your help with this last push of egg-stuffing is greatly appreciated as we prepare for our outreach event!
Sunday’s Sermon:
The Intersection of Pain & Providence
The Legacy of Israel
Genesis 49
Read Isaiah 44:6-8. How should God’s power to declare the future before it happens shape our worldview?
In what ways might you be most tempted to grasp for more? How could this end up being destructive to your life and legacy?
Read James 1:19-20. In what ways might we be tempted to think that our sinful anger can produce a righteous result? Why is this not true and how will this anger end up being destructive?
Read Genesis 49:22-26. Note especially the different phrases/terms used to describe God. How can the truth of these titles be an encouragement to you this week?
Read Matthew 6:19-21, 33-34. How should the coming kingdom of Jesus Christ affect your priorities here and now?
