Connect Groups – Chester First Baptist Church

Your faith journey was never intended to be a solo mission. Helping people grow in their faith is one the reasons God set up this Community Church in 1937. CONNECT GROUPS are where you learn more about God, His Word, and each other.

The CONNECT GROUP comes together at CFBC at 6:00 PM on Wednesday nights*. Join others on the same faith journey as you, while making lasting and meaningful relationships with other people. Get directions to the discussion HERE! (Click Here)

He Chose the Nails: What God Did to Win Your Heart

Examine the Prophetic Event Most Revealed in God’s Word.Is your heart unsettled by the chaos of the world? Are you heavy-laden with bad moments, mad moments, or anxious moments? Today, rest in God’s self-giving love and leave all your troubles at the foot of the cross.

There were no accidents on the days surrounding Jesus’ death. Jesus’ last moments were not left up to chance. God chose the path; he selected the nails. Our Lord planted the trio of crosses and painted the sign. God was never more sovereign than in the details of the death of his Son. God didn’t have to do all these things, you know. The only required act for our salvation was the shedding of blood, yet he did much more. So much more.

In He Chose the Nails, New York Times bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado will help you:

Learn just how much God loves and cares for you
Take comfort that Jesus understands everything you face in this life
Remember that there’s nothing you can do to earn God’s gift
Stand firm in the promise that you are forgiven, and you are welcome in God’s presence

Search the scene of the cross and listen for God’s gentle whisper, “I did it just for you.”

There will be a free meal provided from 5 pm-6 pm. The class will start at 6pm and last until roughly 7pm. We hope to see you there!

We meet at Chester First Baptist Church located at 719 State St. Chester, IL. 62233.
