 Presenting my paper at the
Stone-Campbell Journal Conference
Welcome! A warm word of welcome to this website! I trust you will not only come to know me better, but will find the visit enriching and helpful for yourself. The goal in my teaching ministry and as a pastor-scholar is that the congregation and students would study the Bible in both a devotional and scholarly manner. In addition, I agree with Alexander Campbell, the founder of the movement of churches which I serve as a pastor, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), as he wrote, "I have no idea of adding to the catalogue of new sects. I labor to see sectarianism abolished and all Christians of every name united upon the one foundation upon which the apostolic church was founded." Please feel free to visit our church web page Senior Pastor trinitychurchlb.net Trinity United Christian Church the Bible School where I am Professor of the New Testament bli4u.org Biblical Life Institute Watch my video below this WELCOME about my research and work in the New Testament. May the Lord bless you! Cletus Hull P.S. I am available for teaching, preaching, seminars, conferences, and can address anything from essential Bible study methods to studies about Scripture, biblical history and culture. |

Dear Trinity family and friends,
I spent the beginning of this week with our church camp, Laurelview, in Rockwood, PA--Somerset County. The camp always invites the pastor's of their youth and campers to attend and assist with the pastoral moments of the week. I have spent at least 26 weeks of my life at Laurelview and never regretted one day of the experience!
This week there were many youth and adults from California PA's Disciple Church. A few of the counselors from California mentioned that the youth from last week's camp-- the Trinity Youth, were some of the most amazing young people! They spoke of their spiritual maturity, creativity in worship and strong presence in the camp! It made my heart glad to hear all the positive faith-filled comments that our young people displayed for the Lord last week.
Let's not take our youth and childrens' ministry at Trinity for granted. They are growing into the people God created them to be. Take a moment this weekend to reach out to each of them and encourage each youth in their faith in Jesus. They are making a difference in our world!
"Remember now your Creator, in the days of your youth..."
Ecclesiastes 12:1

3. This week in worship
As we continue of this summer theme of "Family Issues and God's Answers", the next family to unpack contains some of most fascinating insights in the Bible, the life of Joseph, Jacob, and his family.
Joseph was 17 years old when we find him in Genesis 37 and we find him in a dysfunctional family (do you know any of those?), the tension so high between him and his brothers that “they could not speak peacefully to him.” What are the causes of these family problems? Are we susceptible to similar difficulties in our families? What about in our other relationships — our friends, at work, and at school.
As we look into Joseph and his family over the next several weeks, we will consider his life in three different ways:
First, we will study him as a model of a Christ-filled, loving family member. His brothers hated him so much they “could not speak peacefully to him.” His brothers plotted to kill him and then sold him into slavery. But all the time he remained faithful.
Second, we will look at Joseph’s life as an example of God’s providence, even when things seem out of control. Families at times go from bad to worse and it’s hard to see how God is in control. We will speak about how to deal with this type of situation.
Third, we will consider how Joseph represented Jesus to his family. Ultimately, he was an instrument to save his family and loved ones.
Are you praying for Christ to reach and touch the heart's of your family, Do you pray, "Jesus, use me to show your saving faith and love to each person?"
Joseph's family was messed up, but God brought his good plan out of the family. Be with us Sunday, as we pray for God's good purpose to be accomplished in your family and personal life (read Jeremiah 29:11).
Many of the most loving, compassionate and Christ-like people I know walked through serious adversity and placed their lives, families, and experiences in the hands of God!
See you this weekend in worship!
