Immutable | In View of God
In my home growing up, I often heard the phrase, “the only thing constant is change." We live in a world filled with change — seasons, technology, hair styles (well, for some of us). So, it very well could be the most comforting truth of all that God Himself does not change. In other words, He is immutable.
Multiply | Trust the Process
Did you have a favorite class growing up? For me, it was math. (Well, that’s assuming recess doesn’t count.) I loved solving problems through addition, subtraction, division and multiplication. And speaking of multiplication, that’s actually what we’ll be discussing today. It’s the final step we see in God’s process of spiritual growth.
Serve | Trust the Process
What comes to mind when you hear the word "serve?" For some of you, it might make you think of those who serve in our armed forces; for others, maybe those who wait on tables; and fo you athletes, maybe even tennis or volleyball. But what does “serve” mean in the context of the Christian life?
Connect | Trust the Process
Do you like doing puzzles? The Sherman family does — especially on vacation. . .when the weather is bad. Still, there’s something satisfying about putting all the right pieces in all the right places and seeing the finished work. Honestly, it’s a lot like church. We’re all pieces meant to be connected to one another in order to display a completed picture of God’s grace.
Worship | Trust the Process
You might not be a baseball fan, but you have to admire what the Houston Astros accomplished a couple of years ago: They won the World Series! What’s remarkable is that, from 2011 to 2013, they won only 33% of their games. But the leadership kept encouraging all the players and fans to “trust the process." And they did; and it worked! Well, TBC family, this month we’re going to be encouraged by our heavenly Father to “trust the process” He has for us to grow and live victoriously as fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ. I look forward to showing it to you.
The Christmas Story | Good News of Great Joy
Good News | Good News of Great Joy
Do you like surprises? They can either be exciting or frightening — or a mixture of both. I’m certain that those lowly shepherds got the surprise of their lives 2000 years ago when the angel and his backup choir proclaimed to them the “good news of great joy.”
Unspeakable | Good News of Great Joy
If you watch the news, it seems that good news is getting harder to come by these days. Well, 2000 years ago, one of the most famous encounters in the Christmas story took place when the angel proclaimed to the lowly shepherds that he was bringing “good news of great joy.” What makes this joy so “great?”
From Bethlehem to Bethany | TBC 40th Anniversary
Have you ever gone back to visit the place of your birth (or where you grew up)? It’s the ultimate nostalgic experience. Well, for the Trinity Bible Church family, we’ll be experiencing some nostalgia this Sunday, as we look back at our “formative years” with the help of some folks who were there 40 years ago. And yet we’ll also look ahead at where we see God leading us down the road. It should be very special and exciting time in the history of our church.
Thankful | Status Update
So there’s this debate going around our office: “Is it ok to play Christmas music before Thanksgiving?” Regardless of where you stand on this, I just don’t want us to miss the simple beauty and blessing that Thanksgiving holds. So, today we’ll focus on “giving thanks in everything.”
