THE CAMELBACK DEAF WEEKLY

CAMELBACK CHURCH OF CHRIST DEAF MINISTRY

SERMON: GRACE

God gives grace to the humble. And grace is a dirty word for the devil. Grace is the power behind the Gospel. It is the wonder of the Gospel.

Grace means God’s favor that is “unearned, undeserved and unrepayable.” Too often we limit it to the work of SALVATION in our lives, but Grace IS THE POWER in our lives.

2 Timothy 2:1 tells us to, “be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.” What does Grace do for you today?

Join us this Sunday for Deaf Bible Class @ 9:30a and Deaf Worship @ 10:30a.

Sunday Morning: Colossians

Bible Class

Sundays @ 9:30 a.m.

Here comes a new, early church that grew out of Judasim from an evangelism campaign by Apostle Paul’s group. They were in a very difficult, Greek, pagan culture and were having birthing and growing pains. They were being negatively influenced and confused by the different groups of cults and false religions that surrounded them. They needed the True Savior. A church planter named Epaphras helped these Colossians embrace the new life and Way, so they were evangelized at the time of Paul’s ministry to the Ephesians. They received the grace of Christ, but found themselves in further turmoil. False teachings, mysticism, empty philosophies, legalism, and traditions had increased, threatening the health and well-being of the members and their evangelistic opportunities. They were under siege by false teachers and prideful people seeking sensationalism and mysticism rather than Christ Jesus as Lord.

This is a MUST attend class to help you build a graceful conversation, “seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.” Colossians 4:6.

Wednesday Night: Foundation II
Bible Class
Wednesdays @ 7 p.m.

NATIONAL CHRISTIAN WORKSHOP FOR THE DEAF

TULSA, OKLAHOMA
Theme: Focus On Jesus
In Hebrews chapter 12, the writer encourages us to “run with perseverance the race
marked out for us” (niv) and to “fix our eyes on Jesus”. We cannot effectively live a
Christian life without constantly focusing on Jesus. That is the idea that we hope to
emphasize this year in Tulsa!
June 24-28, 2012
