NO ADULTERY

Infidelity should be serious to God’s people, because fidelity is so serious to God. The God who makes covenant at Sinai is the God who never breaks covenant with his people. Because of this, we should be the kind of people who keep our covenants to each other. And the most significant covenant relationship we ever make is that of marriage. We should be the kind of people who keep our vows to our spouses and do everything we can to respect and esteem the marriages of others. But to do this we must depend on the faithfulness of Jesus. The perfect husband to his imperfect bride. The One who will honor his vows even when we fall short of honoring him. The Savior who forgives all our unfaithfulness.

FINAL SMALL GROUPS BEFORE FALLOW MONTH

This week, 4 groups will meet throughout our city to share in the joy of Jesus and apply his gospel to each other’s lives. Outside of Sunday mornings, small groups are the most important hours we spend together. Make it a priority to attend because these will be our last meetings before the summer small group break.

THIS SATURDAY - 6/20, @10AM

This Saturday morning, a team from CGSA is going into French Park and DTSA to invite our neighbors to the upcoming Block Party. We’re praying God would gather 150 church members and neighbors together for this evening of summer fun. It’s our biggest opportunity all year to meet our neighbors, build relationships, and dump buckets of blue paint on our city.

So get ready to extend God’s welcome this weekend! Where your CGSA t-shirt and meet at the Ebell parking lot at 9:45am. We’ll wrap up around noon for a quick debrief at Hidden House. Reach out to Brian Marcus to RSVP or ask any questions.

Scarlet Hope is a ministry that shares the hope and love of Jesus with women in the adult entertainment industry through consistent outreach, discipleship, and community. Annually, they host Go & Tell Mission Trips and mobilize trained teams to carry the hope of Jesus into cities during large-scale events and “high-demand” seasons.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to partner with one of these trips during the World Cup this week. We’re sending own Jennifer Williams & Rosie Lopez as members of the LA Outreach Team. Would you join us in prayer for them and all the women they will minister to. Asking for the Lord’s protection and an open door for the gospel. You can download the prayer guide here.

CELEBRATING NEW LIFE IN CHRIST

This Sunday, we had the joy of watching one new believer be added to the household of God as we celebrated the baptism of Scarlett Madrigal! We witnessed her profess faith in Jesus’ sacrificial death and victorious resurrection. We looked on as she demonstrated her own sharing in Christ’s dying and rising - being buried with him in baptism and rising up from water again. We rejoiced as God confirmed in her heart and before our eyes that she’d truly passed from death to life.

We thank God for new life in Christ. A life we get to live together which begins now and carries on forever.

Check out the pictures and be encouraged that the lost our being found, our family is growing, and Christ is advancing his mission in our city!

NO MURDER

At first glance, this seems like the easiest command to keep. More than halfway down the scenic route through the 10 Commandments we could be saying, "Finally here's one I haven't broken!" But each one of these words strikes beneath the surface. Because, far before this word is about what we do with our hands, it’s about what’s happening in our hearts. The bad fruit of murder, violence, neglect, and harm to another image-bearer grows out of the soil of sinful anger in our hearts. Jesus took this hatred head on as his body was beaten, bloodied, and torn up upon the cross in order to tear down the wall of hostility that divides us.

EVERY 2ND THURSDAY OF THE MONTH

Tonight, the men of Cross of Grace will gather together to sit under the word, bear their brother’s burdens, and call out to the Lord in prayer. They’ll talk about the 5th Commandment and discuss what it means to honor the God-appointed authorities in our lives. All guys 15 years and older are welcome to join in at the Robles’ home at 7pm.
