Chula Vista Church of Christ

Good morning everyone,
I wanted to send out a quick email to inform you that this Sunday we will be looking at a section of Job that could be very difficult for some of us to get through. Job chapter 3 spends a great deal of time talking about miscarriages and death. I wanted to send this out so that you can choose with wisdom how you might participate that day.
For some, simply taking a day off might be best. You could also opt to help teach the children's class that takes place during the service. Or, perhaps, simply being aware of what will be talked about in advance may be enough to allow you to prepare yourself. As your minister, I feel it unwise for me to speak on Job 3 without first giving you advance notice.

Some might ask, "if Job 3 is so dark, why not skip it or do a quick summary?" Indeed, Job 3 is a very dark chapter, but it is a chapter that cannot be skipped. Life is dark at times, and Job 3 gives us permission to scream into the darkness with all the angst, fear and dread we can muster.

As always, I will attempt to not have the entire sermon be one of complete despair, but sometimes the darkness is very dark. Since we are Unlocking Wisdom, it would be unwise to skip the chapter that recognizes this reality (as well as the chapter that launches the next 39 chapters of the book).

May God grant you a blessed rest of the week.

Your Servant,
Rob

Good afternoon,
Due to the storm, we will not be meeting tomorrow. Please spread the word to any and all members to make sure they are aware. Thanks.

Good morning church family,
As we are all aware, Hurricane Hilary is making its way towards us, promising to deliver an immense amount of rain. The church leadership is keeping a watchful eye on this storm, and we may find it necessary to cancel service tomorrow.

Please note, this is just to alert you all to the possibility. You will be getting a follow up post (and email) this afternoon by 5 with our final decision. Please stay tuned and make sure to spread the news to anyone you know that may not check their Facebook on a regular basis.

Thank you and please remain safe during this time.
Blessings,

This is our most important work. 💕

As some of you may know, Joseph Mock (the son of Steve and Josie) was diagnosed with leukemia last week. He has been admitted into Scripps Hillcrest for treatment. Joseph was the main care provider for his father, Steve, who had suffered a stroke and was also recently diagnosed with prostate cancer. This family could use all the love, prayers and support they can get. Please click on this link and take a moment to show them how much you love them.

Knowing the heart of God is more complicated than just finding a verse and trying to do it. Knowing God’s heart means living wisely. Today we studied the story of Jephthah and the killing of his daughter. What are we to do with a story like this one, where a father swears an oath to God that leads to him killing his only child? Take a listen and find out.
