Sermon Series - Who Is This Jesus Christ?

Jesus Christ is the central figure in our Christian faith. The Apostle Paul affirmed that "God was in Christ" (2 Corinthians 5:19. Over the next several weeks, I want to share with you in my sermons my life long quest to understand who Jesus Christ was and is. I invite you to come, listen, respond and commit or recommit your life to the Lord we worship. Below is the list of topics and Scriptures.

March
7th - The Teaching Christ (Third in Series)
Jeremiah 2:20-21; Matthew 4:23, 7:28-29; John 3:1-2

14th - The Healing Christ (Fourth in Series) Psalm 111:1-4; Luke 4:18-21

21st - The Rejected Christ (Fifth in Series) Jeremiah 2:20-21; Luke 20:9-20

22nd - Isaiah 53:1-6; Matthew 27:27-31; 1 Corinthians 1:23-24

April
4th - The Risen Christ (Seventh in Series) 1 Corinthians 15:1-11

The Friar's Fragment

The Transition Team is busy working on the history phase in the Church's Self-Study and Developmental Tasks. Soon you will be hearing from them as they communicate with you about some significant stages in Cool Spring Baptist Church's history. They will also want you to be personally involved in some concrete ways. They will let you know how soon. Watch for their communication. Let me state again what a fine group of persons are on the Transition Team. They are all committed Christians who deeply love this church and want the very best for it. It is a privilege to minister with them.

I want to commend you for your faithful giving over the last several weeks. Having missed two Sundays because of the snow, we fell behind on our offerings. I appealed to you to bring your tithes and offerings for the Sundays we missed and you came faithfully through with your offerings. The last three week's offerings of $75,366, $46,076 and $50,170 actually give us a $1,846 overage for this date. Thanks for your gracious response. This doesn't mean that we can relax. We have to continue to give faithfully each week, and I know you will.

As you know, I am presently preaching a sermon series entitled "Who Is This Jesus Christ?" I am seeking to help us understand who Jesus is as the central figure in our faith and how we are to grasp the cardinal doctrines and teachings that surround His presence. My messages are drawn from my book entitled "The Compelling Faces of Jesus." The sermons are, of course, digested versions of the chapters in the book. A brief sermon doesn't allow me the time to go into the details on each of these themes as I can do in my book. If you are interested in getting a copy of the book, please call or come by and see Candace Nahodil in the church office and let her know of your interest. This book represents my life-time study on who Jesus Christ is. I hope you will let my book and sermons offer you some guidance in your spiritual journey.

Roadwork Near Cool Spring

Hanover County contractors are installing a public sewer line in Giles Farm Road, our main entrance and exit roadway. This line coming up Giles Farm Road will cross Atlee Station Road, go under the CSX railroad tracks and ultimately run to the county's Pole Green sewage facility. The project is expected to take several weeks to complete. This affects traffic entering and exiting Giles Farm Road from about 7:30 am to 3:30 pm Monday through Friday, as some turning lanes will be restricted. A flagman is present during these times to assist traffic turning into and out of Giles Farm Road. This should not affect church traffic at night or on the weekends. Please use extra caution when entering and leaving the church during these times.

  • 30 Hour Famine Update
    The 30 Hour Famine went unbelievably well. The 50+ High Schooler’s had a great experience. Around 10 ended up sleeping outside (IT was cold and very windy), they did their 3 mile walk for water and several service projects on Saturday.
    They collected over $18,000!  What an awesome BLESSING. As Bryan Dupuis said in the Sunday services, the youth wanted a bigger challenge than the $4000 they raised 2 years ago. Boy did God bless them . Now all that money will go to Haiti to feed people through Christian ministries.

A smile for a visitor, a cheerful greeting for a telephone caller and pleasant instructions for a delivery person- these are all very important duties of a Cool Spring volunteer week-day receptionist. Positive first impressions are critical in helping our church make a difference in the lives of those in our community. That's why receptionists are such important people!

Cool Spring Grief Support Group


Our next meeting will be held on March 14th at 5:00 pm in Room B49.  The GriefShare video for this month is entitled God's Prescription for Grief. Those of us who are bereaved are often overwhelmed with advice from others. Often what goes unnoticed is what God says about healing. This session tells participants how to position themselves to experience God's healing.

Please join us if you can. Remember that you do not have to be a member of Cool Spring to participate in the group and can begin at any point in the GriefShare video series. Please call Jerry or Patsi Deans at 559-7622 if you would like them to call a friend or loved one to invite them to join the group.

The next session is scheduled for Sunday, March 14th at 5:00 pm in room B49.
