Each month, the ladies of CGSA gather for a time of discussion, encouragement, and prayer. All to promote the growth of women in Christ as women in Christ.
Tonight, their study in Proverbs continues. The ladies will be talking about what it means to be wise with our words.
No reading or homework is required. Guests are welcome. We hope to see you there!

Starting today, Pastor Jeff is gathering with the other Senior Pastors in our denomination’s West Region for a time of fellowship, encouragement, and prayer. We’re trusting that these days away would strengthen these men and strengthen their churches throughout the West.
Join us in praying for their time together. Here are a few things to cover:
Pray that the Lord would freshly affect them with the joy of their salvation
Pray that the weary would be comforted and refreshed
Pray that times of fellowship and ministry would be sweet
Pray that our partnership in the West would be enriched and our shared gospel mission galvanized to the glory of God, the joy of our churches, and the good of our neighbors all throughout California, Arizona, Colorado, and West Texas
As Moses came down the mountain to tell the people the covenant had been renewed, his face was radiating glory. The people saw his shining skin and they ran away in fear. They saw glory and it was scary. Why? Because even though God fixed the covenant they broke, there remains something broken in them. They need to be changed so they can gaze upon glory without fear. But this change won’t come through beholding the face of Moses. It only comes through beholding the face of Jesus. When sinners like them, and us, behold his glory in the gospel, we become glorious as he is.
This fall, we’re launching a meeting for our members & neighbors seeking freedom from addiction, destructive habits, and other long-standing struggles. It’s a weekly gathering designed to create community, provide accountability, and encourage one another to live as new creations in Christ. Here’s what we’ll be after each time the group comes together:
Renewing our minds to think clearly (Rom 12:1-2).
Renewing our hearts to love truly (1 Jn 2:15-17).
Renewing our strength to resist temptation and fight the fight of faith fervently (Is 40:28-31).
The initial rollout of Renew will begin with Chase Early leading a group of men through a 7 week study of the Book of Colossians this fall. Learn more & register here. Reach out to Chase with any questions.
Outside of Sunday mornings, small groups are the most important moments in the life of our church. Attend one this week, encourage your brothers and sisters, and be reminded of the goodness of the gospel.
We’re back at it with Youth Ministry this Sunday! This time around, the youth are wrestling with the question: “Isn’t Christianity against diversity?” This will get us thinking about what the Bible says about race, social issues, and cultural differences. Make sure to read Ch.2 in Ten Questions Every Teen Should Ask (and Answer) about Christianity to be prepared! See you at Hopper & Burr!
