CUPbearers

Purpose

“That we may present every one complete in Christ”

Colossians 1:28

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

“Faithful is he who calls you, and he will also bring it to pass.”

1 Thessalonians 5:24

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.

Founder

Robert J. Bingham was born in Beloit, Wisconsin and was assured of his salvation at 17 years of age. Bob attended the University of Colorado, then volunteered for the US Army, serving two years and returning to the University of Colorado where he studied aeronautical engineering. He then received a B.A. in Applied Religion from Rockmont College in 1962 and was ordained that same year in the Evangelical Free Church of America.

Team

Dave met Bob Bingham as a young child at the Christian Servicemen’s Center near Clark Air Base in the Philippines in the 1960’s. Dave’s Dad Frank meet Bob there and became lifelong friends. Bob and Dave continued a relationship over the years that included Dave & His wife Sheri having their rehearsal dinner at the Bingham’s home. Dave credits Bob with not just a close friend, but counselor and mentor in Christ, keeping him focused on a deep relationship with Jesus. Dave works in the Commercial Real Estate field and is married to Sheri, and they together have two daughters, a fabulous son in law and two rambunctious grandsons.

I have had the honor and privilege of knowing Bob Bingham my whole life. A daughter gets a special glimpse into their father’s world and I am forever grateful for my dad. I have been serving with CUPbearers since 2017 mentoring and discipling those the Lord brings. Helping others encounter Jesus is my greatest joy.

Daily Devotional

James Devotional 38

The Apostle James concludes by reminding you that your Christian life is not passive or isolated, but actively involved with Christ in assisting others to continue with you in a meaningful relationship with Jesus Christ and each other. “My brethren, if any among you strays from the truth and one turns him back, let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins” (Jas 5:19-20). Your true faith in Christ is expressed through His righteous acts in, through and with you towards others whether visible to others or not. “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them” (Eph 2:10).
