Columbia Christian Fellowship

a Scriptural look at the practice the church calls Communion  

: a look at what the Bible has to say about the many times/ways God"tests" His people and what exactly is the purpose  

the hearts of believers are to be filled with thanksgiving and gratitude... -believers should be the most grateful people on earth...but are we? -it should be reflected and expressed in our speech/talk/conversations...but is it?  

: Turn away from greed...guard against greed...there are consequences to greed...instead of greedy be content...instead of greed, give generously  

the next "don't" Paul mentions  sexual immorality and impurity.. -(not a topic I necessarily want to speak on, but it came up in the rotation) -sexual immorality and impurity..is unbecoming for followers of Christ  

: Paul exhorts the Ephesians believers to "live a life full of love" -we will explain and illustrate biblical love -how it is to operate in the church  

imitate God...be like Him...for we are His children -we are to be the splitting image of our Heavenly Father  

CCF Baptism Service -see attached order of service -notice there is a special Hope's Haven testimony after the offering prayer/before worship, 

in contrast to last weeks negative list of stuff to get rid of in our lives -this week...a list of positive stuff to embrace into our lives  

:  Paul lists further behaviors and practices that are unbecoming of a mature believer's life -Paul says get rid of them...they gotta go  

God is a Person...therefore God has emotions and feels emotional pain. Paul's admonishment to the Ephesians: don't hurt God's feelings
