Your heart cannot love the world and love the Father. Satan knows that. He will work to get your eyes down—don’t let him.

Solomon had everything and called it vanity. The world is passing away. Whoever does the will of God abides forever.

Chapel is back!

What a great first week getting back together! We were so grateful to have Dr. Mike Fabarez, President of CBI, open up God’s Word with us and remind us why the Bible has to be central in our lives. It was also great getting to welcome our new One-Year Bible program students to their first chapel of the year!

140 Columbia, Aliso Viejo CA
Wednesdays, 1:15-2:00PM

Chapel is open to all past and current CBI students in any program. Can’t wait to see everyone again next week!

As summer comes to a close, we're still thinking about our May trip to Greece & Italy with the One-Year Bible Program! Walking where Paul walked, seeing where the church began, and making memories that last way beyond the trip.
