c2C Ministry

Last Saturday, April 24, 2010 , c2C went to Concierto de Primavera 2010 at James L. Knight Center! Yup! We had a great time, especially the fellowship we had with our newest c2C members. Yes, thats right: Siblings, Martha and William Figueroa! Welcome to c2C guys! We truly enjoyed getting to know you! BUT WAIT!!!!! Lets not forget a VERY SPECIAL PERSON THAT WE "C2C" HAVE BEEN AFTER SINCE WE STARTED. PEOPLE!!!!!! FOR THE 1ST TIME IN C2C's EXISTENCE, HE HONORED US WITH HIS PRESENCE AND JOINED US IN THE CONCERT!!!! WANT TO GUESS WHO IT IS??????? Well, for those who don't know...ITS YOU, JIMY CANEL!!!!! THANK YOU, we were thrilled about you coming! We hope to see you there saturday after saturday! c2C is incomplete without YOU! Want a recap of the concert???? You won't believe what we went through!!!! Lets see, we drove down to Miami, we parked elsewhere to SAVE parking $$$$! So that meant, we needed to take the metrorail! Which we did! GOOD JOB C2C!.... so far ...

Saturday, April 17, 2010 was another special meeting for us. God used one of our church’s Minister (father of two of our c2C Leaders: Ruben Jr. and Ileana Morales ), our guest speaker for the month: Brother Ruben Morales , to impart a Word that was a double edged sword that touched our hearts! We were literally with our mouths wide open from the revelation this man of God had brought to us. Our face expressions must have revealed our astonishment, that even Brother Ruben asked if we were ok? Sorry, Brother Ruben if we did NOT pretend to NOT be amazed, but it’s just that the members of c2C are real individuals and we are not afraid to show when God is working and touching us and actually admitting it! ;) His topic: “A NEW HEART, A NEW SPIRIT” Isn’t the title of his message alone impacting? W e sure thought so! Bible verse: Ezekiel 36:26-27 (TNIV), “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. ...

On Saturday, April 10, 2010 as promised, our own c2C Leader: Ruben Morales Jr. began to answer the questions left unanswered from our 1st Lesson of Who am I in Christ covred back in March 27, 2010. THE QUESTION: WHO AM I IN CHRIST? To begin to understand who we are, we MUST know AND believe with our hearts the following statements: 1. I was chosen by Love ( Ephesians 1:4-5 ) 2. I am property of God ( 1 John 5:19-20 ) 3. I am a new creation ( 2 Corinthians 5:17 ) 4. I am a creation of his image ( Genesis 1:27 ) 5. I am a son/daughter of promise ( Galatians 4:28 ) 6. I am a member of the body of Christ ( Ephesians 5:30-32) 7. I am his creation ( Ephesians 2:10) 8. I am a soldier of Christ ( 2 Timothy 2:3-4 ) During this meeting, Ruben focused on Statement # 1 – I was chosen by love . He started by asking us the following questions: WHAT IS LOVE? And WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU ARE IN LOVE? Here are some of his answers combined with a bit of ours: When you love someone you shower them ...

On April 03, 2010 , meanwhile some of us were in Guatemala ; c2C was being blessed by one of our church’s Elders: Edy Canel . Edy’s message was titled: Service to God . He started off by asking the following question: Why do YOU serve God? Some possible answers to that question could be: “I serve God because He is good, because others do it or because I might as well do something in church if I come to it.” Can you relate to that? If you can identify yourself with these statements, then you need to continue reading this. If not, it doesn’t matter, still read it! Edy emphasized that first we must have the mentality of a servant to serve God . A servant is defined as a person in the service of another . Our service to God is also a form of worship, of ministering and of obedience. Read what the Bible says in Philippians 2:3-8 (TNIV) “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to...

In March 27, 2010 , we started our 1st lessons using the book “Who am I in Christ?” In Spanish, “Quien soy en Cristo?” written by our own Apostle: Jose Zapico and Prophet: Lidia Zapico. In order for us to understand who we are in Christ, we must first understand the gift of grace! Fortunately, the gift of Grace is FREE! Grace is defined as the free and unmerited favor or beneficence of God. It is also defined as a state of sanctification enjoyed through divine grace. Romans 5:15 says “But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God's grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many!" So there it is, because of Jesus Christ, we have received grace . Therefore, if we have accepted Jesus Christ, we have received grace and thereby we can now begin to understand who we are in Him. Before the meeting was over, we were asked a series of multiple questions to meditate: Be...
