" Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching. Do not neglect the gift you have, which was given you by prophecy when the council of elders laid their hands on you. Practice these things, immerse yourself in them, so that all may see your progress. Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching. Persist in this, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers. 1 Timothy 4:13-16

"Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching."

When I read "Until I come", is like these words hit my heart, as Christ is telling me the same, why? Because He will return someday, and I would like that He find me doing that.

Certain duties are laid upon Timothy, the young leader designate of the Church. He is to devote himself to the public reading of scripture, to exhortation and to teaching. Here we have the pattern of the Christian Church service.

The very first description of a church service which we possess is in the works of Justin Martyr. About the year A.D. 170 he wrote a defence of Christianity to the Roman government, and in it (Justin Martyr: First Apology, 1: 67) he says: "On the day called the day of the Sun a gathering takes place of all who live in the towns or in the country in one place. The Memoirs of the Apostles or the writings of the prophets are read as long as time permits. Then the reader stops, and the leader by word of mouth impresses and urges to the imitation of these good things. Then we all stand together and send forth prayers." William Barclay

Please we need your prayers to continue accomplish what God call us to by His Grace!

Thanks you again for your commitment and we will stay in contact to let you know how the lord is at work!

Please pray for us, we need the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ to accomplish what God call us to do, like apostle Paul asked to the Philippians

for I know that through your prayers and the help of the Spirit of Jesus Christ this will turn out for my deliverance, as it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

Philippians 1:19-21

" To this end we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling and may fulfill every resolve for good and every work of faith by his power, so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ." 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12

  "...so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him..."

...Paul's uplifting message ends with the most uplifting vision of all. It ends with what we might call the reciprocal glory. When Christ comes he will be glorified in his saints and admired in those who have believed Here we have the breath-taking truth that our glory is Christ and Christ's glory is ourselves. The glory of Christ is in those who through him have learned to endure and to conquer, and so to shine like lights in a dark place. A teacher's glory lies in the scholars he produces; a parent's in the children he rears not only for living but for life; a master's in his disciples; and to us is given the tremendous privilege and responsibility that Christ's glory can lie in us. We may bring discredit or we may bring glory to the Master whose we are and whom we seek to serve. Can any privileged responsibility be greater than that?                                      
Barclay, William


....we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling and may fulfill every resolve for good and every work of faith by his power, so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him,...

I love these verses! also is my prayer, that you are praying for us so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in the work that He called us to do.

Philippians 1:19-21

And say to Archippus, "See that you fulfill the ministry that you have received in the Lord." Colossians 4:17

..."See that you fulfill the ministry that you have received in the Lord." 

I love it! Is amazing to see this words from apostle Paul to encourage Archippus. Who was Archippus? 

Archippus is mentioned also in Philemon 1:2. He is not elsewhere referred to in the New Testament, and nothing further is known of him. 

The phrase "See that you fulfill the ministry", The Greek here is,  tēn diakonian - meaning the office of ministering in divine things; but it is not certain precisely what office he held there. It seems probable from the language which the apostle applies to him - “the ministry”. Archippus, that he was not a deacon, properly so called, but that he was a preacher of the word. In Philemon 1:2, he is mentioned by Paul as his “fellow-soldier,” and it is evident that the apostle meant to speak of him with honor. There is no evidence, as has been supposed by some, that he intended to imply, by what he said, that he had been remiss in the performance of his duties, but the apostle doubtless meant to encourage him and to excite him to increased ardor and zeal in the work of the Lord;It is always proper to caution even the most faithful and self-denying servants of the Lord to “See that,” or see to it, that they perform their duties with fidelity. The office of the ministry is such, and the temptations to unfaithfulness are so great, that we need constant watchfulness. "fulfill the ministry" That there be nothing wanting, or lacking, in any of the departments of labor which you are called to perform.

Every christian have a special place in the body of Christ, some in visible places or non-visible places, but for everyone is necessary to hear "See that you fulfill the ministry", for me is necessary to hear: Jaime, See that you fulfill your service that you received in the Lord...

March 4, CPC Missions Conference 2017

By God´s Grace, who permit me to serve Him. I received a invitation of the CPC World Missions, to speak about the perspective on "The importance of World Missions" at CPC Missions Conference 2017, that had as principal speaker Dr. Paul Long, the theme of the conference was " Divine Power to Destroy Strongholds" 

(2 Corinthians 10:3-5).

I can say that was a huge blessing and also a honor to meet Dr. Paul Long, a humble 
servant of God, of who I learned that night more about the Biblical perspective for missions.

March 5, I had the blessing again to preach to my Church Family "Christ Fellowship"...

If you would like to listen the sermon click on the title:

“The Lord of the Sabbath Showing His Heart” – Mark 3:1-6

• He showed His authority through serving others. 
• He taught the real meaning of the Sabbath. 
• He is merciful to restore. 

A beautiful story of God's work...

Two weeks before the spring break, Michael and me were at church office, Mike was having a meeting out the office. Around 10:am, Michael listened someone arguing, just in that moment the neighbor from the store beside us knocked the door office calling Michael! Please help this lady. 

There was a lady with a little three-year- old girl. She was arguing with her boyfriend. 

Michael and me knew that was not a coincidence, was the providence of God permitting it for a purpose. 

Immediately, Michael called the boyfriend  to talk, also his name  is Michael.

We were talking with both, trying to bring peace between them. They just moved from Cleveland, MS. 

After talking with them around 30 minutes, Mike arrived and he took them to his office to talk with them. Mike was counseling them, and the same time Michael and me were praying for Mike and the couple. 

After, 1 hour and half, they took a break and they came back later to continue the counseling.

The conclusion is that they decided to receive help from the Church and visit the Church. Praise God!

After the a week, they visit us at the Bible Study and it was Amazing! 

A week after spring break, Michael visited us and Michael Williamson was talking with him, 
but Michael W. had a meeting, and the moment I started talking with Michael, I was sharing about God have a plan for everyone, trying to encourage him because he was hurt and 
without hope about his life and his relationship with his girlfriend. 

I explained to him a picture that to fix something is necessary to start allover, back from the beginning, this means back to God.

By God's Grace I shared to Michael the gospel, many scriptures bring to him the understanding that the only he needs is God to save him. 

After around 45 minutes talking, Michael started crying, was obviously the Holy Spirit was bringing conviction of sin. And in that moment I asked To him: Michael, what would you like to do? Michael's answer was : I need to be saved! 

I told him: Michael, would you like to ask God? Michael's answer: Yes, I need it!

I said to him: Michael, ask God, with your own words, He is willing to hear you.

Then Michael, fell down in his knees, putting his hands on the floor, with tears in his face, claimed: God! Save me, Jesus Save me, forgive me of my sins, please save me...

Then I gave to him a hug, we prayed together. 

After that, I visited Michael in his job that is very close of the church's office, the idea was to encourage him to visit us to talk more about how we can continue helping to know more God. 

The last Monday Michael Williamson and me started a discipleship with Michael, praise God, all the glory to Him! Please pray for him to continue growing in the faith of Jesus 
Christ.
