Welcome to Centinela Bible Church
There are a lot of wonderful churches in our area. You would do well to visit any of them.
You know, there are times in life when you sense God drawing you to know Him. Maybe you need to put some areas of your life right, and you're looking to God's kindness for forgiveness and a fresh start. Or maybe you're beginning to wonder why God made you and what His plan for your life might be.
Life often doesn't work that well on its own. Just making a living, raising a family, and putting money away for the future doesn't have enough in it. There's more to life than that.
If you're beginning to sense that God has something more for you, visit one of the churches in the area. We'd love to have you come to ours as well. We're here in the Ramona Tract and would be glad to have you stop by and say hi.
God designed our lives around five purposes. You'll see them if you look for them. The first and most important is to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to honor and serve Him. The second is to do good to other people and treat them as we'd like to be treated. In other words, to look after them in the same way we look after ourselves.
God also wants us to teach others and help them come to know Jesus and learn to follow Him. We do that by sharing with people who are open to it what God is teaching us about Himself and this life. He also wants us to make friends and become part of one another's lives.
And finally, God intends that each of us grow strong. That means becoming wiser and more resilient. We develop the courage to do what's right, even when it's difficult. As we grow, we find strength and freedom to face life's challenges.
Current Sunday Teaching
1 Thessalonians 5:18 — “In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”
Every November, Americans set aside a day to celebrate Thanksgiving. Families gather around tables, share meals, enjoy one another's company, and remember the blessings of the past year. For many, it is one of the most enjoyable holidays of the year. But Thanksgiving also raises an important question: Is gratitude something we practice once a year, or is it supposed to shape the way we live every day?
