Still Standing!!!

Jesus said to his disciples whose hearts were agitated by worry and fear; "Let not your hearts be troubled, you believe in God, believe also in me." John 14:1 Jesus was inviting his followers to trust Him, to put their faith in God.

You see; what we believe about God is very important.
  • Do I really believe that God loves me unconditionally?
  • Do I really believe that God is my ultimate provider?
  • Do I really believe that God has a plan and purpose for my life?
  • Do I really believe that "all things work together for good to them that love God and are called according to his purpose?" Romans 8:28
One thing I have discovered, especially in troubling times is to anchor my life daily in the promises of God's word. That's why it is so important that we take time regularily to read and meditate on the truths of the Bible.

You may be doing OK today, but one day, guaranteed you will need the foundation of God's Word to stand upon. There are approximately 3000 promises in the Bible, enough for every circumstance you will ever face.

Do you know what those promises are? Do you know what you believe?
  • Take a minute right now and POST A PROMISE from God's Word that has been especially meaningful to you in your life. By responding you may be encouraging someone else in our CPC family with the hope of God's Word. May God bless you all?

Moved

Last weekend many of us were once again moved by the images and messages throughout the Good Friday, Easter weekend. Over 1000 people gathered at Mark Isfeld High School for the Good Friday community service and then again CPC was overflowing with great celebration on Resurrection morning. (Easter Sunday)

In what ways were you moved in your heart by the Community Good Friday service? What stirred you? What made you think? What is it about "Christ Is Risen" that inspires you in your day to day living?

Please feel free to respond to any of these questions or other related thoughts.
