New Sermon Series: God’s Glorious Design

GodsGloriousDesignIn Ephesians 5:31-32, the apostle Paul wrote, “[31] ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.’ [32] This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church.” In quoting from the book of Genesis, Paul reveals that, from the beginning, God has always had a specific purpose in creating the institution of marriage, to reveal the glory of the gospel of Jesus Christ and his covenant relationship to God’s people. But, is that all the Bible says about marriage? As the culture and societal norms continue to shift, it becomes increasingly important for the church to have a clear understanding of God’s purpose and design for marriage as it is revealed in the truths of Scripture, and how to respond when those truths are challenged.

On Sunday, August 30, Grace Brethren Chapel will begin a new sermon series on God’s design and purpose for marriage, and how we, through biblical, self-sacrifing, Christ-centered marriages, put the glory of God and the good news of the gospel on display for the world.

Grace Brethren Chapel is excited to announce its 2015 Vacation Bible School, Camp Kilimanjaro: An Epic Expedition Through Proverbs, from the Answers in Genesis ministry.

This year’s VBS will run from July 6 – July 10, from 6-8pm, and will include classes for preschool to high school students. In addition to gospel-centered, biblical teaching, each night will include singing, games, crafts, and snacks.

Here’s a short description of this year’s curriculum from the AiG website:

Jambo! Welcome to Camp Kilimanjaro, where you’ll have an epic expedition through the book of Proverbs!

Every day, our kids are faced with choices—will they choose wisely or foolishly? As they safari up Mount Kilimanjaro, your trekkers learn that true wisdom comes only from the one true all-wise God, who wants us to be wise! And He’s filled the book of Proverbs with wise sayings for us! As they study Proverbs, your hikers will learn to have

  • ears that hear and do the Word of God;
  • hearts that trust in the Lord;
  • tongues that are tame;
  • hands that get to work;
  • feet that walk with the wise!

Set your compasses for Africa and prepare for an epic expedition at Camp Kilimanjaro VBS!

We are looking forward to a great week of learning about, and worshipping Jesus, and invite you and your children to join us!

New Sermon Series

cultivate

Just as a healthy plant is one that is well-nourished and given loving attention,  a healthy faith also requires proper nourishment and devoted care. In his epistles to the various New Testament churches, Paul repeatedly encourages and instructs his brothers and sisters in Christ to give great attention to the nourishment of their faith (2 Pet. 1:3-11; Gal. 6:7-10; 1 Tim. 4:6-10; Col. 1:28-29), as a faith that lacks nourishment and attention will grow starved and weary, just as a sun-scorched plant.

On Sunday, May 31, 2015, Grace Brethren Chapel will begin a new sermon series on the spiritual disciplines, the biblical means of grace for growing and cultivating a well-nourished and devoted faith in Jesus Christ.

New Sermon Series

In Matthew 28:18-20, Jesus commissions the church to make and train disciples by taking the gospel out to all the nations. He then gives the greatest pregame speech ever by promising that he, the sovereign Lord and King of creation, will be with us on this mission! This promise is a great and wonderful encouragement to the church, as this mission is not one that comes without challenges and difficulties.

On Sunday, May 3, 2015, Grace Brethren Chapel will begin a new sermon series addressing some of the most pressing issues facing the church today as we carry out this great, gospel-sharing commission.
