CBC YOUTH LEADERSHIP
UPDATE: 01.31.17
我们的使命我们的希望 (our mission, our hope)
We exist to glorify God by making disciples of all people through Gospel truths and Gospel living.
The Gospel Community
Gospel community is created, sustained, and empowered by God. Where the Gospel takes root, there community is birth. There community is sustained. I think many of us, discipled poorly by the culture around us, believe that community is a group of people who look like us, talk like us, live and act like us, and ultimately agrees with us. We become frustrated when our "community" doesn't pan out the way we want and we lose our hope. But friends, I want to draw us back to Scripture and the goodness of the Gospel. Community, gospel community, is made up of a bunch of former sinners who were lost in sin and now are brought into the light and life by the power of the Gospel and now we are on a journey together to proclaim the goodness of our Lord to all the nations. That's community everyone. Let us who have tasted the goodness of the Gospel rejoice in this together...as those who are a part of CBC. Let us encourage one another, pray for one another, and join in together for the long-haul of ministry. We will need each other all the more this semester.
3 WAYS TO LOVE THE YOUTH THIS MONTH
1. Ask a friend to pray with you for the youth group.
2. Send a youth a resource that has really influenced you.
3. Send a random joke to a youth to make their day.
“Scripture teaches that the community that matters is community built by God. We may cultivate it, feed it, protect it, and use it. But we dare not pretend to create it.”
