Before Jesus left He told us to go forth and make disciples. This command is to all Christians since that day. We know we should be sharing the Gospel, but often we do not even look for the opportunities.

The truth is that if we stop and take into account all of the evidence, we will see that all of creation is focused toward one thing. The whole universe waits in suspense for this one act that God has promised. The whole Gospel, Bible, and God's plan to glorify Himself will see its perfection on the last day. When all God's children and creation are redeemed, and all sin is punished. Paul,...

Sometimes it is easy for us to miss the point of the Bible for moral implications in verses. We often miss the forest for the trees. The Gospel is the central point of the Bible. Paul surrendered his life to obey God in the spreading of that Gospel. In the book of Galatians, we can see Paul's doctrinal understanding of the Gospel taking shape. A shape that would one day be written in incredibl...

Unsatisfied with where God has you? Don't know what to do next or why God won't answer your prayers? The fact is that God's plan has always been and will always be better than ours. When we are not satisfied with what God is up to, it's a clue we aren't focused on Him. When we trust God with our circumstances He brings us true joy. This week Christian James finishes the series...

Not enough people tell us the truth in life. The truth is we live in a broken and hopeless world. There is nothing we can do or attain that will change that.

Fire is a vital part of human life. It is something we need and yet it can be harmful when it is not treated with the respect it deserves. God often used fire to represent Himself in the Bible. The question in our lives is when the presence of God burns away the temporal parts of our life, will there be any eternal left? This week Pastor Taylor Gabbert talks about the fire that purifies the heart...

The Christian life is not natural to sinful people. It's not natural or easy after Jesus saves us from our sinful selves. We have trained our entire lives to rebel against God. So how do we shift our mindset onto the things of Christ? How do we retrain to love the LORD instead of opposing Him? This week, guest speaker Christian James talks about the mindset of advance from Philippians chapter...

The Bible tells me to wait on the LORD. How do I do that? How do I know if that is actually what I'm doing or if I even understand what that means?

In this special episode of REACH College, Pastor Taylor Gabbert talks to the TCC BCM about...

How do we examine our hearts? If only we could peel back layer by layer and get to the place deep down where our motivations and beliefs are to lay them bare and expose them.
