BUILDING CHRIST-LIKE Character

2012

"UNTIL CHRIST BE FORMED IN YOU!"

Galatians 4:19

This year, our goal is become Christ-like and reflect the glory and heart of God! Empowered by God's Spirit, we press toward being His witness. However, "No one is born either naturally or supernaturally with character; it must be developed" (Oswald Chambers). Our families, cells, services, and resources all work toward adding Christian virtue to our faith by focusing on the Bible's truths about Godly character .

We welcome your suggestions and additions to these scripture helps, so if you have a scripture, a teaching idea for the home or small group, or an application, please e-mail it to christianfellowshipministry@sbcglobal.net. Let's encourage one another in our goal to look like Jesus!

During 2012, we will focus on the following 12 character qualities; all 49 qualities are also located below. Click on the box to get Scripture helps for families and small groups. Please check back as God is always giving new insights into His Word!
