2 Timothy 4:  1 I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: 2 preach the word, be urgent in season and out of season, convince, rebuke, and exhort, be unfailing in patience and in teaching. 3 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own likings, 4 and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander into myths. 5 As for you, always be steady, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. 6 For I am already on the point of being sacrificed; the time of my departure has come. 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

What does this mean to you as a Christian? It was important for Timothy to preach the "Good News” so that the Christian faith could be spread throughout the world. We believe in Christ today because people like Timothy were faithful to their mission. It is still vitally important for Christians to spread the Good News. Half of the people who have ever lived are alive today and most of them do not know Christ. He is coming soon and he wants to find his faithful believers ready for him. It may be inconvenient to make a stand for Christ or tell others about his love, but preaching Word of God is the most important responsibility the church and its members have been given. Be prepared for, courageous in and sensitive to God-given opportunities to tell the Good News.

We should always be ready to serve God in any situation, whether or not it is convenient. Be sensitive to the opportunities God gives you.

Paul told Timothy to “correct, rebuke and encourage.” It is difficult to accept correction, to be told we have to change. But no matter how much the truth hurts, we must be willing to listen to it so we can more fully obey God.

To keep calm when you are jarred and jolted by people or circumstances and not react quickly. In any work of ministry you undertake, keeping your head makes you morally alert to temptation, resistant to pressure and vigilant when facing heavy responsibility.

Success isn't a result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire. ~Arnold H. Glasow

The Great Commission - A Personal Instruction

Matthew 28:16-20: 16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

The Great Commission is one of the most significant passages in the Holy Bible. First, it's the last recorded personal instruction given by Jesus to His disciples. Second, it's a special calling from Jesus Christ to all His followers to take specific action while on this earth. We have identified five principles of Christian Evangelism that we would like for you to consider. This week we will look at principle two.

2. Other Religions Aren’t All Wrong

Some Christians think that witnessing is about disproving other people's faiths and religions. However, that isn't necessarily true. There are inherent truths in other religions that are also present in the Christian faith. For instance, doing good things for the poor is a part of many religions around the world. Don't be so focused on proving their beliefs wrong. Instead, focus on showing how Christianity is right. Show what your faith does for you and talk about why you believe it is the truth. This way you'll keep people from getting defensive and allow them to actually hear what you have to say.

The question isn't who is going to let me; it's who is going to stop me. ~Ayn Rand

Laurie Lipp offers a Children’s Bible Study Class each Sunday for children ten and under. The class is held in the showroom at the front of Plaza Tokal (our fabulous new church facility). For additional details, please contact Laurie before or after the service. She will be excited to talk to you.

Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending. ~Carl Bard

“Every man is a missionary, now and forever, for good or for evil, whether he intends or designs it or not. He may be a blot radiating his dark influence outward to the very circumference of society, or he may be a blessing spreading benediction over the length and breadth of the world. But a blank he cannot be: there are no moral blanks; there are no neutral characters.” Thomas Chalmers

The thing about family disasters is that you never have to wait long before the next one puts the previous one into perspective. ~Robert Brault

We visited with Pastor Mancilla and Esther last week and discussed the next remodeling project for Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza. They were extremely complimentary of all work completed. We determined that instead of remodeling two of the downstairs bathrooms we would remodel the remaining three. It is the Pastor’s intent to move some of the older girls upstairs to separate them from the younger children and, of course, they would need their own bathroom. When the project is completed we will have remodeled all four bathrooms, the kitchen, pantry, serving area, upstairs dorm room, adjacent meeting and work facility, replaced screens and doors and installed a septic system that really, actually works. We currently have financial commitments to remodel two of the remaining three bathrooms and we are absolutely positive our Father will provide for the completion of the project.

Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe or call it a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one. ~Jane Howard

This Sunday, Community of Faith Cancun will be offering unique Easter music and a special Easter message. Please join us in our magnificent new location on Yaxchilan to celebrate the resurrection of our Savior. It will not be the same without you.

1. Understand Your Own Faith:  Understanding the basics of your Christian faith can go a long way in easing your fears of sharing the gospel. Christians that have a clear vision of what they believe find it easier to share their faith with the people around them. Before you start witnessing to others, be sure you know what you believe and why you believe it. Sometimes even writing it down can make it all clearer.

Family life is a bit like a runny peach pie - not perfect but who's complaining? ~Robert Brault

The time has come for you to declare: Do you belong to a church or do you simply attend a church? If you answered the question “Yes, I belong to a church”, have you decided what you are going commit to do to assist the church to ensure its growth and prosperity?

We have now completed four Sundays in our new (and beautiful) location. That is something to celebrate but the real celebration (and congratulations) goes to LAURIE LIPP. For those that don’t know, Laurie decided Community of Faith Cancun needed a Children’s Bible Study class AND DID SOMETHING ABOUT IT! For the past three Sundays, Laurie has averaged seven children a week in her class. Thank you Laurie…you show the spirit of belonging to a church.

For the next few weeks, we would like for you to consider (think about) this very important question: Do you belong to a church or do you simply attend a church? You are part of the Community of Faith Cancun Christian family and families pull together when help is needed. As a family member, you are asked to consider what you will commit to do, on a regular basis, to assist with the Sunday service or growth of the church. If we worship and work together as a family, miracles can happen.

This past Sunday, LAURIE LIPP taught the first ever Community of Faith Cancun Children’s Bible Study class and we understand it was a great success. Seven children attend the class and yes, there is room for more. If you have young children that would benefit from the class, please meet with Laurie before the Sunday service.

For the next few weeks, we would like for you to consider (think about) this very important question: Do you belong to a church or do you simply attend a church?

Upcoming Events:
The new plan is to start the renovation of the upstairs community bathroom at Casa Hogar para Ninos Esperanza Tuesday, March 6th. The room will be stripped of all tile and fixtures and will be completely redone. This project has been on the drawing table for several months and it will be nice to bring it to reality. As with last month’s septic system improvements, it will absolutely change the quality of life for our wonderful children.

THANK YOU LAURIE LIPP!  If you have young children, please note that Laurie will be offering a Sunday Children’s Bible Study Group that coincides with our Sunday Service. The children’s group will be meeting in the “Showcase Room” to the left of the main entrance of Plaza Tokal. We hope you take advantage of Laurie’s commitment to our church and your children and will show compassion if she asks you for help.
