CHBC Connect for January 5, 2024
God’s Vision for CHBC: 3 Piers, 3 Pillars, and 3 Purposes
3 Purposes
Each of the CHBC newsletters begins with a brief reminder from Pastor Mark about the vision, mission, and purpose of the church. We believe this is the same for every biblical congregation but is uniquely expressed and emphasized by each congregation and under the leadership of the Lord Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit. As the year ended, Pastor Mark reminded us of the three pillars of conviction upon which the purposes of CHBC stands.
The purposes of CHBC are stated this way: CHBC exists for the glory of God to equip believers, exalt Christ, and extend the gospel. It is important as we start 2024 that we renew ourselves to these three purposes. So, what does it mean that we exist to equip believers to the glory of God?
“And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ;” (Eph. 4:11-12). The church is to be the hands, feet, and mouth of Jesus upon this earth. We are to do what Jesus would do if He were still physically present among us. Equipping for this task happens through the teaching of sound doctrine by the careful exposition of the Word of God.
Give yourself to the teaching of the Bible in a Sunday School group, by active presence in corporate worship, and personal daily Bible reading. Be equipped for the glory of God to know God and make Him known.
