Cornerstone bible in spanish update#

Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ. To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church, of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God that was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known, the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to his saints. Of course, we are not Paul and our sufferings don’t compare but this passage expresses well my desire to continue serving the Lord and the church to help Christians reach maturity and to help current leadership and assist with the training of new leaders. If you or your church would like to get together with us between July and November, please let us know. We will be working on scheduling church visits and planning our time in the US.

We hope to get back to some in-person studies and classes and to be able to travel and get together with people. But absent a good reason, we ask people to make the effort to be present and experience Christian fellowship, believing that to be an important part of the Christian walk.

We still transmit on Zoom for members or visitors who need that for some reason (quarantines, health, distance). We are trying to get back to the pre-pandemic format we used, where there was a light breakfast served and we sit at tables during the service, to encourage fellowship and seeing the faces of our brothers and sisters in the church instead of the back of their head.
