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 28

It is not wrong to plan, but you should entrust yourself to Jesus and have Him assist you in your planning. “Come now, you who say, ‘Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit.’ Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away. Instead, you ought to say, ‘If the Lord wills, we will live and also do this or that.’ But as it is, you boast in your arrogance; all such boasting is evil. Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin” (Jas 4:13-17). Since you belong to Jesus, He should be included it all of your plans whether for today or in the future. You know that this is right. It is fleshly arrogance and sin when you do it alone.
