CHURCH WIDE ANNOUNCEMENT
The Community Outreach Committee encourages you to get to know those in our community who need Christ. In order to accomplish this, for the next two months we are challenging all TBC attendees to get together once a month with a neighbor or co-worker who does not know Christ in order to get to know them better. The harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few (Matthew 9:37).

Sermon

Debate continues about whether Revelation should be interpreted literally or figuratively. While the book certainly contains elements of symbolism, much of the book should be read literally. And that certainly applies to the Second Coming of Christ and the Kingdom over which He returns to rule. As its name suggests, the Millennial Kingdom will last 1,000 years, during which time Satan will be locked up and rendered powerless. Jesus—the King of the Kingdom—will bring unprecedented peace and righteousness to the earth. And God will be proven faithful when His ancient covenant promises to Israel are fulfilled literally and completely.

20 Strategic Goals

Our Mission Statement:
“We seek to fulfill our vision by equipping followers of Jesus Christ to live Biblically in outreach, in corporate and personal worship, and in life-changing relationships."

Do not boast about tomorrow,
for you do not know what a day may bring forth. Proverbs 27:1

There are not many things that we can be sure of. None of us can wake up tomorrow morning and say that your job, your marriage, your finances, your home, your health or anything else are for sure. Many people in New Orleans and Mississippi built homes and businesses in recent years believing that they’d be there for a very long time if not forever. Today they are left with the clothes on their backs and their lives and some have less than that. There is only one thing that we can be sure of and that is God’s Word. Whatever God says will come to pass. Things He says about history, promises that He makes and things He claims about Himself are for sure.

The book of Romans gives us hope against all hope as we see God’s Word declaring truths about what He has done for us and Paul tells us what our responses should be towards this Awesome God. Listen for a moment to the voice of God: “there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus…” (8:1); “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him…” (8:28); “But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (5:8); “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (8:38).

How do we respond to a God who has done so much for us and who did so even at the expense of His being responsible for the death of His only Son? We do so by renewing our minds (12:2), by using the gifts we’ve been given for His glory (12:4-8), and by living lives of obedience and living worshipfully each day walking with the God of our salvation, singing this song with our lives:

“Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and
Knowledge of God! How unsearchable His judgments,
and His paths beyond tracing out!
Who has known the mind of the Lord?
Or who has been His counselor? Who has ever given to God
That God should repay Him? For from him and through him and to him are all things.
To him be the glory forever! Amen. (Romans 11:33-36)

Today, let’s worship Him with everything within us. He’s worth the effort.

With you on the Journey,

Mark Jones
Worship Pastor
