Chipchases joines JBC in 2014
14 I hope to come to you soon, but I am writing these things to you so that,
15 if I delay, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, a pillar and buttress of the truth.
9 God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
PURPOSE
2 For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
28 Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ.
29 For this I toil, struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works within me.
8 They read from the book, from the Law of God, clearly, and they gave the sense, so that the people understood the reading.
2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching.
5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.
23 But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him.
15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Worship is a life thing
1 First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people,
2 Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving.
16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.
19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
40 A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher.
2 and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also.
13 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching?
15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!”
11 For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you—
12 that is, that we may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith, both yours and mine.
11 Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.
1 So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy,
2 complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.
3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.
4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.
5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,
