CHBC Worship for 2/14/21
The church is not a building people meet together in, but a people who gather to worship Jesus Christ as Lord.
The church is built on the foundation of the Lordship of Christ, the Centrality of the Scriptures, and the Glory of God. Why did God in His wisdom devise the establishment of this bride known as the Church? The church as three purposes: to Equip Believers; to Exalt Christ; and to Extend the Gospel. Every single day your pastors are praying, preparing, and discussing how to accurately communicate the Bible so that we are all growing in our knowledge of God and His Word. This pursuit is not so we can look better as a Christian, but because we understand that a greater theology brings about a greater doxology. The more we know God and apply His gospel-love to our lives, the more we will treasure and praise Him.
Even in these strange days we want to stay central to our mission. We must not allow circumstances to rob us of our convictions. As we gather again for worship this Lord’s Day may it be to recommit ourselves to the ways of God and the work of God.
If you are not able to attend in person, then join us for our worship service by live stream through the CHBC Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/chbcokc/. We are also providing seating in the Activity Center for Sunday School and Worship services, and we are asking that any who attend in the Activity Center wear a face covering.
We are continuing to seat by physically distancing (seating every other row and leaving a 3-chair gap between family units, as well as taking extra steps in cleaning and sanitizing. You are more than welcome to wear a face covering at all times. We are also providing our overflow seating in the Activity Center where we ask that all participants wear a face covering during the duration of the service.

Sunday School
There are Sunday School Classes currently meeting in person at CHBC. We are also providing material for you to use at home if you are unable to attend an in-person small group. Some of the locations of classes have changed, so please check with the teacher, a greeter, or a staff member if you are confused about where your class may meet. We have adjusted our rooms so that physical distancing can be maintained within each class setting. Please let us know if you would like a print version of the Lifeway curriculum from your Sunday School class for home use.

Quotes from Church History
Athanasius: “Dead men cannot take effective action; their power of influence on others lasts only till the grave. Deeds and actions that energise others belong only to the living. Well, then, look at the facts in this case. The Saviour is working mightily among men, every day He is invisibly persuading numbers of people all over the world, both within and beyond the Greek-speaking world, to accept His faith and be obedient to His teaching. Can anyone, in face of this, still doubt that He has risen and lives, or rather that He is Himself the Life? Does a dead man prick the consciences of men...?” – Athanasius (296-373, Bishop of Alexandria, Egypt (North Africa))
