Please join us tomorrow for corporate worship. We will be continuing our series in Ecclesiastes where Solomon will turn to worldly pleasures next as he reflects on what can give meaning to his life in this world. Upon reflection, it becomes clear that pursuing pleasure is also meaningless. However, most of us do like to enjoy things in this life and find some pleasure and satisfaction in some of the things we are involved in. So how are we to think about pleasure? How are we to see it from God's perspective? Come join us tomorrow and see what the Bible has to say!

Sunday evening we will begin to connect the dots in our study of prophecy with Pastor Rowley.

Please join us though in corporate worship tomorrow morning. We will be continuing the book of Ecclesiastes that we started last week. I believe in the first opening section of Ecclesiastes we will be immediately challenged to think and reflect on our lives in this world and consider Jesus and his place in our lives.

Please join us for corporate worship tomorrow as we start our journey in the book of Ecclesiastes! It will be an introductory message to help build a framework on how to understand Ecclesiastes and apply it to our lives.

Please also come back Sunday Evening if you are able. Sunday evening we will look at the passage that introduces the Antichrist. He hates God and attempts to prevent God from keeping His promises about the future. We will see in possibly the most solemn and august scene in the Bible how the Ancient of Days removes this seemingly impossible obstacle to His will. Do you face obstacles that seem to prevent you from doing God's will in your life?  Don't miss this message.

Tomorrow, we are all in for a treat! Pastor Keith will be bringing us the Word of God. I am sure God has refined and spiritually grown Keith as he has prepared the message on grief and hope.

Please also join us Sunday Evening as Pastor Rowley continues his series. A major question related to future prophetic events is whether Jesus Christ will one day return and rule the earth in peace and prosperity. Let's find out what the Bible says and how that applies to us on Sunday evening at 6 pm. After the evening service, please stick around for some good time of food and fellowship in the gym.

Life can (or is!) be challenging in so many ways that it is easy for us to grow weary in doing good. Yet part of enduring in our faith is making sure we endure in doing good. Tomorrow we will look at Galatians 6:6-10 and some ways to prevent weariness in doing good.

Please also come back tomorrow night. With Pastor Rowley, we have looked at how to interpret prophecy (and the Bible as a whole) and reasons to study prophecy. Now we are going to look at the God of prophecy and begin to look at what He has foretold. This study lays the foundation for a proper understanding of the gospels and what God reveals will happen in the future. Please come.

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.

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!

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.
