Friends & Members of TBC,

It is great to be back in Texas! We sure missed you folks last week. A big thank you to everyone who filled in for us while we were away. We had a great time in Rome. The highlight for me was the Sistine Chapel and Mamertine Prison.

I am sending this a bit early to remind everyone, YES, we are having services this evening. Hope you can make it.

Lord willing our message this Lord's Day is "Biblical Truth Every Wall Builder Should Know."

Don't forget our focus for March is Missions. In light of which, we ask you to pray for our missionaries. Write them, email them. We have mission letters on the bulletin board.

Weekly Update

Friends & Members of TBC,

DON'T FORGET TO SET YOUR CLOCKS FORWARD ONE HOUR SATURDAY NIGHT!!!!!!!!!

Exodus 16:15 "And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, It is manna: for they wist not what it was. And Moses said unto them, This is the bread which the LORD hath given you to eat."
When Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt I'm sure several million people were wondering, “How am I going to be fed? How am I going to survive in this wilderness?” Imagine the logistical nightmare. An incalculable quantity of food and water were needed to survive in the desert. Where would it come from? Yet, in this seemingly impossible situation, God provided!
He provided Manna from heaven. When the people first saw the Manna on the ground, they wondered in amazement saying to each other, “What is this?”, which is exactly what “Manna” means in Hebrew – “What is it?” They were receiving the food of angels, [Psalm 78:24-25] which sustained them the entire time in the desert.
But we know what happened as time passed…the people got used to this miraculous provision, began to take it for granted, and even be bored with it, and, of course…the wonder of God’s supernatural provision evaporated. Israel lost sight of the miracle that God was doing in their lives each and every day.
Each and every day is a miracle from God. Each day of our lives we walk through a world filled with the wonders and glory of the Lord. But we, too, can become dull and lose the wonder of all that He has done and provided for us, even our very salvation. We need to awaken to the daily miracles of life, and to the never ending opportunities the Lord is opening, to pour His love into us, and through us. As we do, may we always be saying to ourselves, “Wow – what amazing love is this that’s been given to me!”
Hope to see everyone this Lord's Day, our message is "A Good Exit Strategy."

March's Focus is Missions: Check out the Mission letters on the bulletin board. Write your missionaries, or send them an email. Pray for them, & GIVE to missions.

Love ya,
Preacher

Late Weekly Update

Friends & Members of TBC,

What a great day last Sunday. Good attendance - Thanks for inviting all your friends Lisa! A Baptism & just overall a great day. Praise The Lord!

Let's have another great day this coming week. This Sunday begins the month of March. Our focus for March is Missions. We believe Missions is the heartbeat of the church. We are studying the book of Acts on Wed. night, which gives us the missionary journeys of the Apostle Paul.

I don't know how many realize this, but if not for Home missions, the Trailwood Baptist Church would not be a reality today.

Our focus this year has been: January - Prayer, and February - Family. Please continue to pray & please continue to be faithful with your family to attend the services of TBC.

We cannot be obedient to the Great Commission given to the church without missions. Our message Sunday is "Great Commission or Great Omission?"

Looking forward to another GREAT DAY this LORD'S DAY,

Love ya,
Preacher
Psalm 122:1

Weekly Update

Dear Friends & Members of TBC,

2 Corinthians 4:17, 18 "For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal."

As believers, we are all called to transform the little world around us. C.S. Lewis offered a thoughtful perspective on remaining heavenly minded while continuing to make an impact in this present world. In Mere Christianity, he said. “Hope…means…a continual looking forward to the eternal world…it does not mean that we are to leave the present world as it is. If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were just those who thought most of the next…It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this. Aim at Heaven and you will get earth ‘thrown in’: aim at earth and you will get neither.”
Being heavenly minded is not natural. It happens when we focus and meditate on the reality and wonderful hope of the world to come. When we do, we can bring a taste of heaven to the little world around us. So let’s not become complacent — but stay focused there, so we can be effective here… and soon enough we will hear the Lord saying, “Well, done thou good and faithful servant!”
Hope to see everyone this Lord's Day. Our message is "Let's Make a Deal" from Exodus 8.

Don't Forget - FEBRUARY'S FOCUS IS FAMILY. Pray for your family, bring your family to church, and be faithful in attendance with your church family.


Love ya,
Preacher

Urgent Prayer Needed

Sorry everyone for sending you a blank e-mail this am. I am afraid I was a little upset and distraught over a coworker. Please pray for my coworker and her son, Susan and Eric Perez. Susan was fatally stabbed this a.m.and is in Covenant Medical Center. She is now on a ventilator and things do not look good. Her son Eric was there already for pneumonia. She was attacked in her home last night and she and a friend were stabbed many times.

Susan is someone who has had some hard times in her life she recently lost a son and her husband in the past 5 years.

Please pray for her and the friend that were stabbed and that the police find the man who stabbed them.
