VERSE OF THE WEEK
“So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.”

BAPTISM | MAY 3
WATER BAPTISM
Baptism is the outward symbol of what has already transpired in the heart of the one who has trusted the Lord Jesus Christ for full salvation.
We understand and believe that baptism is not a "sacrament" that imparts saving grace, but an ordinance. We are not saved by baptism, but by faith in Jesus Christ and His blood that "...cleanses us from all sin" (I John 1:7).
Are you ready to identify with Jesus and say to the world, "I am His."?
Are you ready to leave any areas of known sins in your lifestyle?
Are you ready to walk in a new life with other believers here at Christian Life International Church?
If your heart bears witness to the Word of God concerning water baptism & you can answer "yes" to the questions above, we are here to help you in obedience to the ordinances of Jesus. Please Register & someone will contact you soon.
We rejoice with you in your obedience to Jesus Christ!
“‘But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.’"
— 1 John 1:7

Baby Dedication is a moment that we hold very dear.
On this special day, parents bring their little ones as a commitment to raise their children in the ways of the Lord, to ask His blessing over their lives, and to join with their church family as a support for one another.
"There is no greater joy than seeing your children follow the way of Jesus!"

KINGDOM BUILT MARRIAGE | THE HIDDEN VOICE OF SHAME
STARTING MAY 10
This class explores how shame operates as a spiritual and emotional force that creates distance in relationships. From a biblical perspective, shame is the voice of the enemy that quietly whispers lies that tell you, “you are not enough,” “you are unworthy,” or “you are not deserving of love.” These lies lead to isolation, even within the covenant of marriage.
In marriage, shame often disguises itself as anger, defensiveness, control, or silence. One spouse may feel inadequate and respond with criticism; the other may feel rejected and pull away. The unidentified voice of shame can cause spouses to emotionally withdraw from each other to protect themselves rather than pursing connection. Instead of unity, couples experience cycles of blame, misunderstanding, and distance.
The purpose of this class is to help couples cultivate a relationship rooted in the truth of God's word that will build a deeper and unbreakable connection.New study begins May 10th.
Sign up today!
Taught by Marriage Pastors Chad and Jennifer King

SISTERS IN CHRIST
STARTING MAY 17
"Sisters In Ministry" | A Study of Women in Ministry in the Letters of Paul
Join us for a 6-week series of teachings that seek to discern sound biblical interpretation of 1 Corinthians 11:2–16, 1 Corinthians 14:34–35 and 1 Timothy 2:9-15! What did Paul mean when he spoke of head coverings, women keeping silent in the church and forbidding sisters from teaching? How do these teachings of Paul reconcile with other statements Paul made concerning women in ministry?
This class will offer a combination of biblical studies, application of skills and tools learned in CLI School of Ministry’s Hermeneutics class, and hearing of testimonies in growing - from denying to accepting and encouraging women in ministry! Throughout, we will draw on portions of the book “Paul, Women & Wives” by Dr. Craig Keener.Resource material for this class can be ordered here.
