Friends & Members of TBC,

Luke 4:8 "...Worship the Lord thy God, & Him only shalt thou serve."

Luke writes "And the devil taking him up into an high mountain, showed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, & the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; & to whomsoever I will I give it. If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine." Jesus answered him, "It is written thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, & him only shalt thou serve."

What do we worship? I believe where we spend most of our time, money, & other resources, says what we truly value or worship. Jesus was tempted to gain power over all of the world. Jesus could have given up God's will for his life, so that he could gain lots of earthly power.

Jesus says to us today, "It is written thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, & him only shalt thou serve." We live in a world where right & wrong, good & bad are not always easily definable. However, God's word is clear that our purpose is to worship & serve God. Yes, Christian ethics do not come prepackaged & our call is not adherence to a list of rules, but our call is to faithfulness in our worship of God.

Our message Sunday is " The Secret Society of the Satisfied".

Our Focus for February is Family. We ask that you pray for your family, bring your family to church, and be faithful in attendance with your church family.

Love ya,
Preacher
Psalm 122:1

The Bible Way to Heaven

1. Recognize your condition.For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23)
None of us is good enough to go to Heaven on own merit. Because we are sinners, no matter how much good we do, we always fall short.
2. Realize the penalty for sin.For the wages of sin is death... (Romans 6:23a)
Just as there are wages for good, there is punishment for wrong. The penalty for our sin is eternal death in a place called Hell.
3. Believe Christ died for you.But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)
Christ showed His great love for us when He died on the cross to pay our sin debt.
4. Trust Christ alone as your Saviour....but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23b)
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:13)
Everlasting life is a gift purchased by the blood of Jesus and offered freely to those who call upon Him by faith.
Let us help you word a prayer. (Realize that what saves is your faith in Jesus Christ, not saying mere words.)
Dear Jesus, I know I’m a sinner. Please forgive me for my sins. Jesus, come into my heart and save my soul from Hell. I’m trusting you alone to take me to Heaven when I die. Thank you for saving me, Jesus. Amen.

Friends & Members of TBC,

Mark 9:35 "...If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, & servant of all."

In Mark chapter 9, the disciples and Jesus are on their way to Capernaum. During their travel the disciples start arguing about who was the greatest. When they got to Capernaum Jesus asked them what the were arguing about. They were silent. They were embarrassed. Jesus called all the disciples together and said, "...If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, & servant of all."
But what is a servant? In our society today, few of us have a real appreciation of what being a servant is all about. A servant is simply one who puts others' needs before their own. This is not always easy to do, as demonstrated by the disciples in Mark 9. But, being a servant is what we are called to do, and being a servant makes us great in the eyes of God.

Just a reminder we are taking individual & family photos of all who attend this Sunday. So, dress in your Sunday Best. Again the backdrop will be black, just so you'll know. Plan on staying for just a bit. It won't take long, but we'd like to get everyone's picture.

Our message Sunday is "The Young Men Shouted While the Old Men Wept" - Come & bring a friend. Let's be the servants God called us to be.

Love ya,
Preacher

Dear Friends & Members of TBC,

Matt. 25:1-2 "Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, & went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2 And five of them were wise, & five were foolish."

Ten bridesmaids took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. When the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them; but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps. In this scripture, we have some wise and some foolish bridesmaids. How do we live our lives--foolishly or wisely, prepared or unprepared?
Life is a gift, and I believe it is important to live our lives wisely. We shouldn't live our lives by thinking that we have the rest of our lives before us, so we can live life on the edge and do as we please. There is so much more to life than fulfilling ourselves. Living wisely means, we are constantly working to better our relationship with God. We work to do all we can to help others. Living wisely means we live each day to it's fullest.
In the Wall Street Journal, there was a report where someone saw a sign in a Hong Kong dentist's office. The sign said, "Teeth Extracted by the Latest Methodists." I don't know how good Methodists are at extracting teeth, but as God's people we can extract or bring out the best in one another. So, being wise means we are a part of the church that helps us be the best we can be.
January's Focus is Prayer! Don't forget to pray!
Our message this Lord's Day is "Only Two" Come & bring someone with you.
Love ya,
