Christ Covenant Church In Mesquite

Q: What is your only comfort in life and death? A: That I am not my own, 1 but belong with body and soul, both in life and in death, 2 to my faithful Saviour Jesus Christ. 3 He has fully paid for all my sins with his precious blood, 4 and has set me free from all the power of the devil. 5 He also preserves me in such a way 6 that without the will of my heavenly Father not a hair can fall from my head; 7 indeed, all things must work together for my salvation. 8 Therefore, by his Holy Spirit he also assures me of eternal life 9 and makes me heartily willing and ready from now on to live for him. 10 1. 1 Cor 6:19, 20. 2.

Bi-lingual Sermon 1 Thessalonians / Tesalonicenses 2:6-12, 19 This message is a solemn charge for the new elders, but everyone needs to hear it. El mensaje para el dia de hoy es un solemne cargo para los nuevos presbiteros, pero todos deben escucharlo. The first rule of pastoral ministry is this: seek the glory of God alone. Much of your work and service will require you to speak the truth in love. In all your visiting, counseling, teaching, and preaching, speak, not to please man, but to please God who tests our hearts. This is for your good and the good of others. It will save you and those who hear you. La primera regla del ministerio pastoral es esta: buscar la gloria de Dios solamente. Una gran parte de su y servicio requerirá que digan la verdad con amor. En todas sus visitas, consejería, enseñanza, alabanza, y predicación que hagan, haganlo, no para agradar al hombre, sino para agradar a Dios que prueba el corazon. Esto es para su bien y el bien de los demás. Ademas, esto les salvará a Uds mismos

Little children, listen to the words of my mouth. Pay close attention as I tell you an old story in a new way: This Psalm tells us the story about the mighty works and amazing things that God did for his people when he brought them out of Egypt, led them through the desert, and gave them a king in the promise land. Now, that’s what God did for our forefathers a long time ago. Do you want to know what God has done for you? Like the psalmist, I want to tell you the story of the mightiest work and most amazing thing that God has ever done. I want to echo the psalm and tell you the story of the gospel. Do you know what the gospel is? The gospel is the power of God — for salvation — for everyone — who believes — including you. God came into the world and became a man named Jesus to save you. Jesus was a man after God’s own heart. He served God’s people as a faithful pastor with an upright heart and skillful hand. Jesus obeyed the Law of God.
