Please join us tomorrow for corporate worship. We will be in part 2 of "How to Respond to Pastors," picking up where we left off 2 weeks ago. We are also finally finishing the book of Hebrews! It has been a great journey through the book and I pray that you were all encouraged and challenged by Hebrews. 

Please come back Sunday Evening where Pastor Rowley will be talking about Practical Prophecy -- Some may wonder why study prophecy?  Others may ask, "If there are differences of opinion with regard to prophecy (or any Bible topic), can we honestly know what to believe?"  Pastor Rowley wants to answer these questions before we go further. 

Tomorrow we will remember and celebrate our risen Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We had a wonderful and blessed time on Good Friday remembering His shed blood. But praise be to God that Jesus did not stay dead, He is resurrected!

On Good Friday we had the theme "Jesus a friend of sinners." Tomorrow we will look more deeply at this truth that Jesus is a friend of sinners, what that means for us today, and how the resurrection impacts this friendship. 

 As a reminder, tomorrow we will not have Sunday evening service.

Please join us tomorrow for corporate worship. We will be continuing in our Hebrews series. We will be looking at the topic of church leaders, specifically pastors and people's responses to them. This is a topic that makes me feel a bit awkward as the message pragmatically refers to me for TBC. Nevertheless, it's in Scripture so let's look at the passage together and see what God has to say about church leaders and our responses to them.

SE we will look again at how and how not to interpret the Bible and how that affects our understanding of future events.  God gave His word for us to understand.  Paul tells us it is God's will that we "rightly divide the word of truth."  Please come.  

On Sunday morning we will look at 5 very specific exhortations that the Writer of Hebrew makes in 13:1-6 that will make Christ beautiful to the watching world as we apply them. These vary from showing hospitality to the brethren to purity in the marriage relationship.

Sunday evening we are moving from the Mystery of the Church to how that applies to future prophetic events.  God has made many specific prophecies in the Old Testament.  Will those be literally fulfilled?  Why did God send Jesus into the world the way He did?  What are the next events on God's prophetic calendar?  Why is God doing things the way He is?  I trust this brief series will make the subject of prophecy clear, interesting and practical to each of us.

Tomorrow we will continue our study in Hebrews, and we will see one of the best motivators for us to live a faithful life to God. The motivation is nothing new, and the author of Hebrews has talked about it before: heaven. Our eternal realities in heaven are the biggest motivators for a faithful life to God. Join us tomorrow and hear what God has to say in His word.

Tomorrow we are in for a treat! We have one of our missionaries, Vitaly Keller, visiting us tomorrow. He will be sharing about his ministry during the ABF hour and preaching the Word of God to us during main service. I would encourage you all to come to the ABF hour if you can to hear what God is doing in Ukraine. I am also sure we will be encouraged and exhorted by his preaching as well.

Please also come back Sunday evening as Pastor Rowley leads us in looking again at the significance of what it means to be "in Christ" or "in Jesus Christ".  This phrase is a key to understanding the resources and benefits Christians have for living a victorious Christian life.  It is also a key to understanding key doctrines ranging from the resurrection to the rapture. 

Please join us tomorrow to corporately worship our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We will be continuing our study in Hebrews, taking a look at how we can strengthen our resolve and faith in Christ despite the difficulties of life. 

Also please come back Sunday evening if you are able. Pastor Rowley is back from Italy and ready to continue his series! He has a few impressions about the manifold wisdom of God with respect to His design of the Church after his trip that corresponds to what we have been learning about the Church from Ephesians 3:1-6 esp vs 6.  Then he would like to move to the 5th DNA marker of the Church Age -- "in Christ".  This truth has vital applications to the victorious Christian life.

Please join us tomorrow as we continue our study in Hebrews. Pastor Eli will be bringing us the word of God in a great passage tomorrow that speaks of discipline and the Father's love for us. I am eager to hear what Pastor Eli will be sharing with us tomorrow.

Please also come back Sunday evening if you can. We will be taking a short break from Pastor Rowley's series to take a deeper look at the issue of Christian backsliding.

Please join us in corporate worship tomorrow as we continue our study in Hebrews. We will see tomorrow how the author encourages us to run the race of life and gives us some practical ways to do so. Life is hard and often a struggle, but we as children of God can endure!

Join us tomorrow for corporate worship as we continue our study in Hebrews. We will be looking at the Hall of Faith tomorrow to help us answer the question, "What does living by faith look like?" I hope that God's Word will be an encouragement and challenge to us all as we seek to endure in this life for God's glory and honor.

If you are able, please join us Sunday evening as Pastor Rowley continues his series. Last week we saw how marriage illustrates the right relationship between Christ and the church.  This week we will see how Christ's relationship to the church teaches how to have a great marriage.

After the Sunday evening service we will have an informal fellowship time as we catch whatever is remaining of the super bowl. Should be a great time!

Please join us as we continue our series in Hebrews. Tomorrow we see the encouragement that the author has for the Jewish Christians despite their sluggishness in the faith. It will be a very relevant message for us today as we all need encouragement through life difficulties.

Please also come back Sunday evening as Pastor Rowley continues his series. Jesus says that His relationship with the church is much like that of a husband and wife in Ep 5:21-33. On Sunday evening we will study the Church through the lens of marriage. Pastor Rowley believes this will show another reason why the angels see the amazing wisdom of God as He works through us in this age. Please come back with your thinking caps on.

Looking forward to worshipping with you all as we meet together to stir one another up to love and good works!

Tomorrow we will continue our study in Hebrews and we approach another difficult warning passage. I hope to answer some of the difficulties, but more importantly, I pray that we will see the warning passage as an exhortation for us to live faithful lives to our great God and Savior Jesus Christ. Please come out tomorrow as we corporately worship together through song and the hearing of God's Word. 

Please if you are able come back to Sunday Evening service where Pastor Rowley will continue his series on the victorious Christian life. It is important for us all to see that in God's great plan for the world and our salvation, He wants us to live a life that is victorious and glorifying to Him. Come and join the fun! 

Tomorrow we will continue our study in Hebrews 10. What we will find tomorrow is that the author of Hebrews likes to repeat the same truths he has already stated, but now states a bit differently. The author reminds us Jesus is our once and for all sacrifice that provides forgiveness of sins.

Please join us for corporate worship tomorrow as we get back into Hebrews. Pastor Keith will be bringing us the Word of God. I am excited to see what God has placed on his heart and the burdens he wishes to share through Hebrews. I am sure all of us will be challenged and encouraged by his message.

If you are able please also come back Sunday evening as Pastor Rowley starts a new series. He will be preaching on "Remembering -- to Move Forward."  Key truths to help us accomplish God's purpose this year.  Pastor Rowley listened to an exciting account of how Israel fought and won the Six Day War in 1967.  This war will provide some illustrations of the principles we will observe.

Tomorrow, as we go into the New Year, I want to talk about the critical topic of trusting God in everything and with everything. I believe this is a topic that will help all of us orient our minds and hearts to God at the beginning of 2023 and hopefully into the rest of the year.

If you are able, please also come back Sunday Evening as I will guide everyone through some reflection questions as we intentionally look back at 2022 and look forward to 2023. During the reflection, there will also be some time for personal prayer as we lift up our hearts to God. 

Register for basketball!

Merry Christmas! I hope and trust that you all have a wonderful Christmas Eve. I'm anticipating a great time at my place seeing everyone, sharing laughs, and having a good time with fellowship.

I know tomorrow is Christmas day and can be a busy day for some of you as you host family at your place and enjoy each other's company over a meal. With that said, I encourage you all to spend the morning in corporate worship with the church. Not because "we have to." But instead because the best thing we can do above time with family and the fellowship we will have is to worship our great Savior and praise Him for humbling himself down to earth, being born of a virgin, with the purpose of fulfilling the Father's plan that we may all be saved.

As a reminder, there will be no ABF hour and no Sunday Evening service tomorrow. We will have our worship service at 10:30am.

Please come and join us for worship tomorrow as we talk about the final attribute, peace. Peace is perhaps the one attribute that many in the world sort of get right in regard to the idea of peace. However, the world misses the most critical piece to peace, which is peace with God. From our peace with God flows many other kinds of peace we will have in this life. Join us tomorrow and let's explore the biblical idea of peace with God and the other kinds of peace we get because of our peace with God.

If you are able please come back Sunday evening and join us for our Christmas meditation program. This will be a great time for quieting our hearts before God in song and meditation, as we think and reflect on Jesus, our Immanuel, our God who is with us. Looking forward to seeing and worshipping with you all.

Tomorrow we will take a look at a Biblical understanding of joy. Often joy is associated with feelings of happiness, but is joy more than simply happiness? Is there such a thing as having joy with eternal value? Come out tomorrow to corporately worship with each other and hear about what the Bible has to say about joy.

Please also come back tomorrow evening as we get to enjoy the Children's Christmas program. The kids and everyone involved have been putting in a lot of work and I am sure all will be blessed by it.

Please join us tomorrow as we start a Christmas series that will end on Christmas Sunday. Three attributes that are seen at a higher volume during Christmas are love, joy, and peace. These three attributes are connected with the birth of Christ and rightly so! We will take each attribute and look at it from a biblical perspective. We will look at the birth of Christ with fresh eyes and a heart of worship. Come join us as we talk about love first!

If you are able, please come back Sunday evening as I finish up the series, "What does it mean to love God?" Specifically, we will talk about what loving God looks like and how we can grow in it.
