CHBC Weekly July 2,2021
Worship at CHBC
The church is not a building people meet together in, but a people who gather to worship Jesus Christ as Lord. Did you know that God commands us to meet for worship? The Greek word we translate into the word “church” is really a word that means “gathering or assembly”. When the Bible speaks of church it is speaking of an assembled people. Gathering for worship is not optional for a follower of Jesus Christ. It is a command. And like all of God’s commands, it is given for our good. He commands us toward that which brings us the greatest joy. Gathering with the family of God is a command, but in its obedience, we are pursuing our highest joy. Because of this I cannot wait to meet with my church to worship our Lord this Sunday.

CHBC Men’s and Women’s Ministries
An active and vibrant men’s and women’s ministry in the local church does three things. First, it recognizes what creation reveals, that there are two genders who equal in God’s eyes while unique in design, function, and roles. Second, men’s and women’s ministries allow a place for Bible study, fellowship, and accountability to be shared among those who experience the same joys, trials, and temptations that are unique to being male and female. Third, it encourages the unique function and gifts of men and women to be used for the church in a way that blesses the entire family of faith.
Find out more about what is going on in men’s and women’s ministries by visiting their separate pages on the CHBC website: CHBC Men’s Ministry and CHBC Women’s Ministry.

Scripture of the Month
Each week CHBC says aloud a passage of Scripture 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 Scripture we will say and memorize for the month of July is 1 Corinthians 15:57-58, “but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.” You can receive a text to your phone with this verse set to music by texting the word “CHBCVERSE” to the number (302) 207-SONG (7664).
A Moment in Church History

Prayer
Pray for CHBC to be a church hungry to know God’s truth.
Romans 12:3
“For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith.”
