What Is Your Life Built On?

"When I first came to you, dear brothers and sisters, I didn’t use lofty words and impressive wisdom to tell you God’s secret plan. For I decided that while I was with you I would forget everything except Jesus Christ, the one who was crucified. I came to you in weakness—timid and trembling. And my message and my preaching were very plain. Rather than using clever and persuasive speeches, I relied only on the power of the Holy Spirit. I did this so you would trust not in human wisdom but in the power of God." -- 1 Corinthians 2:1-5

What do you trust in? Is your life built on what seems to make sense according to the fashion of majority opinion as it stands today? Do you fit your faith into your lifestyle as long as it doesn't get in the way too much? Or is the truth the Bible teaches about God central in your life? Does your faith revolve around your life like a cute little, inconsequential moon of Jupiter, or does your life revolve around the the massive, unchanging truth of God, like the stars revolve around the center of our galaxy? Is going to church a ritual parenthesis to the rest of your life, or is going to class a means to the end of glorifying God through a career when you graduate? What is it you really believe? Not what you think you believe, but what your actions prove you believe? (You know actions speak louder than words.) Are you living according to human wisdom, or according to the power of God?

Come on out to Oasis Bible Study tonight and we'll explore this a little more, together. The passage above is our text for the night.

We do not judge anyone. We want to help everyone enjoy the life God wants for them. We can only find that by conforming our lives to the truth of God. When we do that, we are freed to be all that we were meant to be. So we help one another learn the truth of God by studying his word together, and we support one another by praying for each other, every Wednesday night at 7:15. We hope you will join us.

We meet in our campus house, just one block from Lee Hall. For most of you, it's even closer than your classes! For a map and simple directions just look on the top right side of your screen.

If you live off campus and ride the bus, we are only 100 yards from the tennis courts bus stop on Washington Street. If you drive, we have parking.

Whether this will be your first time here, or you've been to CCVT before, we really hope you can make it.

Come on over and join us for Oasis. It's a great mid-week boost to your morale. You will be challenged to grow spiritually, and encouraged by all the Christian friends you will meet.
