What Scripture Has To Say About Your New Life in Christ
(AOWNER)
When you accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, you were
instantly delivered from the penalty of sin (that is, eternal
separation from God). But you also received God's Holy Spirit and
were placed into Christ's spiritual body, the Church. In this course,
we will search the Bible to learn about a believer's new identity in
Christ and the many spiritual blessings that belong to them as a
result of placing faith in Christ.
Please call the CBI Line to register for these courses- 215-4729040 prompt # 7 or Contact Pastor Tim Ruffin or Elder Vicki Ruffin

November Scripture –
2 Corinthians 4:16-18
So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is
wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by
day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for
us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison,
as we look not to the things that are seen but to the
things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are
transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
