Join us tomorrow as we continue in the Sermon on the Mount series called, Jesus Said Whaaat?  We plan to be in chapter 7 for 2 weeks. Tomorrow we look at judging. Are we supposed to be the judge, jury and executioner of people?  Just what is judging?  Is it ever right to judge and if so how do you do it?  Join us at 10:30 am tomorrow at Truth Baptist Church...and bring someone with you.

Today I want to chat about the Harvest Banquet coming up Saturday, Nov 8th. What a unique opportunity for friends, co-workers, neighbors, and family to hear the Gospel in a safe, fun and delicious evening.  This Gospel outreach is what Summit 2 showed us as we reach out to our mission focus group who are from the community.  Who do you plan to invite? The tickets are only $10 each and are available now. This price is half as much as you would pay in a restaurant and the menu will be fabulous! Begin now in lining up your guests...and if you can afford it treat your guests to the evening by paying for their meal.

Pastor Bim, our Pastor Emeritus, has been teaching us on Sunday nights about the sin of narcissism. It's been soooo helpful! There are many authority structures in life, ordained by God such as:  Government -- people, husband -- wife, parent -- children, pastor -- people, employer -- employee, commander -- soldier, teacher -- student and probably others.  What if your authority is flawed, selfish, unwise, unconcerned about your well-being?  Can God use this situation for good?  What should our response to such an authority be?  What if they become dangerous toward us?  What should our response be toward them?  The study of Saul is an inspired account of such a leader.  We live in the real world where we face such trials.  This study can help us know God's will and be pleasing to Him in such difficult situations.  Join us Sunday evening at 6 pm.

We plan to be back in Matthew 5 this morning as we look at the Sermon on the Mount.  We will see that we are salt and light and that we are on earth to affect the atmosphere of this ol' world for Jesus!  The Lord has such great plans for His Kingdom and we are a part of it! Come see how! 

Awesome weekend coming up!  We are in week 3 of the message series "Jesus Said Whaaat?" Join us at 10:30 am Sunday as we continue looking at the Sermon on the Mount. It's counter-cultural for sure and gives us the mind of the Lord on a variety of life issues.  On Sunday evening Pastor Rowley will look at the characteristics of a narcissist by studying the life of King Saul.  If you work for, are married to, or have a necessary relationship with a person who has these characteristics, how does God want us to relate and respond?  A narcissist tries to control and intimidate those around them by making them feel like a failure or inferior. We can learn how God would have a believer relate and respond by watching godly people like Jonathan and David as they interact with Saul.

In light of this month of murder our series on "Jesus said Whaaaat? " and His upside down kingdom teaching really becomes relevant for us as Followers of Christ as we study His teachings on how to flourish. Join us Sunday at 10:30 am as we continue.

Tomorrow is name tag Sunday as we kick off our fall season at Truth Baptist Church.  Our life groups will begin to meet again and we have several new life groups beginning too. We urge you to find community at TBC and we can help!

This Sunday the 31st will be our closing message on peace-making and conflict resolution. We plan to visit the story of a runaway slave named Onesimus who has a life-changing encounter with Jesus and Paul helps bring reconciliation between Onesimus and his old owner Philemon. There are some real lessons to learn in this true story of reconciliation and resolving conflict! Join us at 10:30 am Sunday morning and bring a friend!

Sunday night I will be talking more about how to share your faith story.  I hope you can come back at 6pm this Sunday evening.

We only have this Sunday and next as we learn how to resolve conflict when it comes. I have had great conversations with people this week about being peace-makers. I am glad to speak to you as you figure out how to reconcile conflict. God is working...let's pray for our church during this series!

Sunday evening is our men's & women's ministry night.  We are going to be having pizza for our fellowship afterwards, so bring a dollar per person, and bring a side dish or salad big enough to share with people if you can.  These nights are a great encouragement to us all!

Lord willing I will see you Sunday! Bring someone with you this Sunday at 10:30 am.

I hope you will join us Sunday at 10:30am as we are back in to our series on conflict resolution. This Sunday we will seek out peace (Psalm 34:12-14) "What man is there who desires life and loves many days, that he may see good?  Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit. Turn away from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it." This week we want to learn to avoid mere peace keeping and pursue peace making. What's the difference?  We will also be observing communion.

Sunday evening we will have Matt Rowley preaching on Matthew 24:1-3.  I hope you can come!

Tomorrow morning Keith will be challenging us with the closing thoughts from Jesus sermon on the mount. The passages and thoughts will bring together the teachings from the earlier portions of His sermon. Please come with a heart ready to hear what God would have for us.  Sunday evening, Billy Gillen will be giving his testimony, and afterwards Pastor Rowley will be preaching on how to make the gospel clear in a confused world.  I hope you can come and bring a friend!

Join us this Sunday morning as we continue in our series on resolving conflict in a way that pleases God! This Sunday some helpful ways to navigate potential conflict hoping to bring the emotional temperature down. Bring a friend!!!

This Sunday evening Pastor Rowley will be preaching after a time of some VBS testimonies.  Pastor Rowley said this about his message... "A person asked me this week why God made it so hard to earn a living in the world.  Is it because of the curse in the Garden of Eden.  With the time left after testimonies, we will broach this subject." 

I look forward to beginning our new series as we revisit how to resolve conflict God's way! Bring a friend and join us Sunday at 10:30 am.

This Sunday we finish our series in Acts. We plan to begin a new series on the 27th on what the Bible teaches about conflict and how to resolve it when it happens. Our church studied this some time back, and this summer is a great time to revisit this important part of our discipleship as Followers of Jesus.

Tomorrow we will look at the subject of why is there suffering if God is so good? How do we handle that as believers? Join us tomorrow at 10:30 am as we learn from God’s Word together.  Tomorrow evening I will be continuing the series in Acts, so please join us if you are able! 

Summer is in full swing as we gear up for VBS this week. You might see a few changes this weekend as TBC is transformed into the old west! Have you registered for VBS yet? You can register the kids by clicking on this link VBS. Join us Monday through Friday 6:30-8:30 pm. Adults you can bring the kids and we have a class for you too taught by Kevin Tower. Please pray for our volunteers and kids this coming week.

Well this Sunday is sooooo special here at TBC. It is the 45th anniversary of Truth Baptist Church. What a blessing and joy to celebrate! It is also our time to honor Pastor Bim and Deanna's 45 faithful years here as Bim founded & pastored TBC! On Sunday, Pastor Rowley officially steps back from serving as senior pastor and steps into retirement. He is being conferred by our church to become Pastor Emeritus of TBC. That means that our church loves and appreciates Pastor Bim and with deep respect wants him to enjoy a different pace of ministry. But as he cares to, he will still serve the church teaching, doing his regular ABF, his life group, and more.

They will be honored on Sunday, and there is a lunch in their honor in the gym after church.

Tomorrow is Father’s Day as we continue in Acts right after 3000 were saved. What was next for the early church? Come join us at 10:30 am. and lets learn together!  Remember no Sunday evening service this Sunday. 

This Sunday morning and evening we will be hearing from of of our supported missionaries, Dr. Cherian.  He has an exciting ministry training up ministry leaders in India.  Pastor Rowley has gone to teach a few classes at the Bible College there a couple of times in the past few years.  I hope you'll be blessed by hearing from him.

Join us Sunday morning as we resume our study of the early church in Acts called, "Church 101:We are better together."
