100% Employment: Christ's Plan for His Church (1 of 9)
Series: Our Shared Life

Today we are starting a year-long celebration of CBC's 80th year of ministry. We often refer to this church by three initials, the initials CBC stand for:
• Calvary (and hence the Cross up on the wall behind me, reminding us that Christ died for our sins);
• Bible (and hence the constant usage of God's Word in all of our ministries and programs, and every public worship service);

We have a perfect, always-there Dad who loves us without any conditions, who will never change, pull back, leave home, or divorce our mother. He knows what's best, gives us everything we need, stays in touch constantly, and goes with us everywhere we are.
