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
Psalm 122:1
