An Unexpected Birth

Matthew 1:18-25

Main Point: The ________________ of Jesus Christ proclaims the good news that God came to be one of us to ______ us.

 Why is the Virgin Birth necessary for our salvation?

 

Small Group Questions:

1. What is something that stood out to you from the passage or sermon?

2. Why was it necessary for Jesus to be fully God to save us? Why was it necessary for Jesus to be fully man to save us?

3. How does the birth and coming of Jesus affect your daily Christian life?

CVBC OFFICE - Information & Communication

One priority of the CVBC office is to maintain the church database so we are able to communicate to the church body effectively.

Have you given the office your contact information? Is it all up to date? If you’ve never done so, or need to make some changes, please fill out the Welcome/Prayer card and drop it in the white box on your way out of the sanctuary.

Another service we offer is a quarterly address directory and phone list. We only publish family information when given the authorization to do so. Are you included on the phone list or in the CVBC Directory? If you would like to be, please use the Welcome card to let the office know. We look forward to hearing from you, and adding your name to our records.

Other than Sunday morning announcements, the main way we send out information and updates to the CVBC congregation is through email. To sign up for any of these email lists, please call or email the church office (715-723-2872 or info@cvbc.net), or fill out the sign-up form on our website by visiting cvbc.net. Scroll down to the EMAIL SIGNUPS button. 

If you have any questions, contact Chris or Libby: office@cvbc.net or 715-723-2872.
