CHBC Connect for March 10, 2023


What is God’s Vision for CHBC? 

The family of CHBC is challenged to hold three fundamental convictions about local church: the local church should be Biblically-Modeled; the local church should be Mission-Minded; and the local church should be Multi-Cultural. What does it mean that the church should be Multi-Cultural? Galatians 3:28 states, There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” This does not mean their differences disappeared, but that their unity was found in Jesus. Our communities are made up of older people and younger people, of men and of women, of wealthier and poorer people, of more educated and less educated people, of business professionals and trades craftsmen, and of all blends of ethnicities. The local church should strive to provide worship, discipleship, outreach, and ministry to all people of the community, so that when the church gathers the beauty of unity is about Jesus, not the ability of the strategy to target specific groups. 

 

Bring Spring – Spring Break Missions – March 12-14
If you are participating in Bring Spring Missions please remain after the morning worship service for about 15 minutes to receive some special instructions regarding Sunday – Tuesday ministries. Spring Break Missions is a great way to introduce your children to missions and serving. This two-and-a-half-day mission experience will include group times of worship and fellowship, as well as serving needs at CHBC, Oklahoma Baptist Homes for Children, and Kaleo Ministries. Pick up a brochure to learn more about how to use part of your Spring Break for missions. $50/adult and $40/child (4yo – 18).

 

Equip Classes – March 19 – April 2
Equip Classes will resume on Sunday nights at 5 PM CHBC beginning March 19. They will conclude on April 2. Youth and Adults will have five opportunities to be equipped further in Prayer, Evangelism, Service, or Pro-Life Apologetics. Children can participate in PoWer for Kids or attend a discipleship class on the Fruit of the Spirit. For the full list of classes, descriptions, locations, and leaders visit the website at Equip Classes.

 

Worship Through Giving
CHBC worship services include having a time of Worship through Giving. You will still be able to give online, through the Offering Boxes at the doors of the Worship Center, by mail, or by dropping off your offering. But we want to remind ourselves that our giving to the Lord is an act of worship, therefore we want that time during the worship service. Even if you give in a different format, this moment in the service will allow you to consecrate yourself and gifts to the Lord.

 

Utah Mission Trip – July 7-15
Victory Christian Fellowship is a small Southern Baptist Church in the town of Panguitch, Utah. They have existed for just over thirty years, but recently have struggled to locate a pastor because of the limited amount of housing in this resort area. They are constructing a parsonage, while trying to keep ministry going to the residents and many visitors the area. We will be conducting a 4-day VBS and helping finish the building project during our trip. If you are interested in going on this mission trip, or would just like more information, please stay after church for a few minutes on Sunday, Feb. 5, to receive an information packet. Cost will be between $780-$900/person depending on rooming arrangements.

 

CHBC Resource Center 
Stop by the updated Resource Center outside the main doors to get the ESV Study Bible, or Systematic Theology, 2nd Ed.  by Wayne Grudem. There are also three free resources available at this time. You can take these at no cost, or make a donation for your book to assist the furtherance of the CHBC Resource Center. The CHBC Resource Center exists to provide biblical tools every home should own. There is a payment box at the Resource Center with suggested retail pricing for each available resource. Pay what you can if you can. We want every home equipped with these Bible study tools. Also, pick up your free Scripture Memory pack, preloaded with all the verses for Titus 2.  

 

Scripture of the Month - March 
Titus 2:3, “Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good,”  

During 2023 CHBC will be saying aloud verses from the book of Titus 2. CHBC quotes Scripture aloud during our morning worship gathering. This is done for two reasons. First, we are commanded in Scripture to encourage one another with the Word of God. Second, we want to emphasize the spiritual discipline of Scripture memory. The goal of 2023 is for you to be able to quote the entire second chapter of the Epistle to Titus. Pick up your Scripture Memory card packs at the Resource Center outside the middle doors of the Worship Center.

What is God’s Vision for CHBC?
The family of CHBC is challenged to hold three fundamental convictions about local church: the local church should be Biblically-Modeled; the local church should be Mission-Minded; and the local church should be Multi-Cultural. What is behind the conviction to be Mission-Minded? Acts 1:8 became the marching orders for the church. The mission to accomplish if you will. “but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.” (Acts 1:8) This is more than mission trips and giving to mission work or missionaries. It is seeing the bigger picture of redemption and accepting your part in advancing the gospel within your family, your work, the church, and the willingness to be used anywhere at anytime for the cause of gospel witness.

Equip Classes – February 26 – April 2
Sunday nights at 5 PM CHBC is offering seven opportunities to equip the church. Youth and Adults will have five opportunities to be equipped further in Prayer, Evangelism, Service, or Pro-Life Apologetics. Children can participate in PoWer for Kids or attend a discipleship class on the Fruit of the Spirit. For the full list of classes, descriptions, locations, and leaders visit the website at Equip Classes.

 

March Forth – Missions Sunday – March 5, 2023
On Sunday, March 5, CHBC will host our first annual Missions Sunday around the theme – March Forth. Each year this Sunday will be used to emphasize the importance of our gospel imperative. This year that means we will have representatives present from ministries that are supported by the World Missions Offering. Learn more about the philosophy of missions, missions support, and March Forth on the website by clicking this link: CHBC Missions.

 

Worship Through Giving
Starting this Sunday, CHBC will begin having a time of Worship through Giving during morning worship services again. You will still be able to give online, through the Offering Boxes at the doors of the Worship Center, by mail, or by dropping off your offering. But we want to remind ourselves that our giving to the Lord is an act of worship, therefore we want that time during the worship service.
