CUPbearers
Purpose
CUPbearers holds that the transformation of the natural and /or fleshly person into a mature spiritual Christian is a supernatural process. This transformation cannot be accomplished through education and self-effort alone, or by trying to improve the old nature through some system or discipline. It is achieved through the ministry and work of God’s indwelling Holy Spirit in agreement with the Word of God and the active and willing cooperation of the individual, conforming each one to the very image of Jesus Christ (Jn. 15:5).
Statement of Faith
- We believe the Bible to be the inspired, the only infallible, authoritative, Word of God.
- We believe that there is is one God eternally existent in three persons; Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
- We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father and in His personal return in power and glory.
- We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, regeneration by the Holy Spirit is absolutely essential.
- We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling in, through, and with the Christian is enabled to live a godly life.
- We believe in the resurrection of both the saved and the lost. They that are saved unto the resurrection of life and they that are lost unto the resurrection of damnation.
- We believe in the spiritual unity of believers in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Ephesians Devotional 41
The Apostle Paul lists eight relational characteristics of your new life in Christ. 1) “Therefore, laying aside falsehood, speak truth each one of you with his neighbor, for we are members of one another. 2) ‘Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, 3) and do not give the devil an opportunity. 4) He who steals must steal no longer; but rather he must labor, performing with his own hands what is good, so that he will have something to share with one who has need. 5) Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear. 6) Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 7) Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. 8) Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you” (Eph 4:25-32).
