July 5, 2026 We live in a world that ascribes value and status based upon wealth, creating an enduring divide between "The Have’s" and "The Have Not’s". However, for those "in Christ," status is defined not by wealth but by our secure position as children of God. This identity will be constantly tested by worldly pressures, requiring us to remain steadfast by fixing o...

James 1:5-8

June 21, 2026 Everyone goes through trials and temptations. We can either respond in a Christlike way or in a worldly way. When we raise the standard of our response to trials to Christ’s standard, the Lord matures our faith and builds up our spiritual endurance. Confident in God’s character and what He will produce in us, James challenges us to face every trial with pure joy. James 1:1-4

June 14, 2026 Life is a series of choices. For the believer, God demands more than human wisdom or worldly standards; He calls us to align our lives with THE Standard: Jesus Christ. In his epistle, James provides practical instruction for godly wisdom, challenging the Church to prove the genuineness of their faith through transformed lives. This sermon series will call and equip each of us to rais...

June 7, 2026 The 4-week series, Resolute Together, explores the four core commitments of TBC membership: protecting the unity of the church, joining the mission of the church, supporting the life of the church, and serving the ministry of the church. The challenge for TBC is not whether we should be resolute, but how we can ensure we stand resolute together as a church family. This week, we ask, “...

May 10, 2026 Peter’s first letter to the Church concludes with a series of Church community commitments. These commitments set Christians apart from the world around us. This is a shared, resolute pursuit that requires mutual exhortation and encouragement and will receive God’s blessings and strength to persevere until Christ’s appearing. 1 Peter 5:6-14

May 3, 2026 In this passage, the Apostle Peter offers a direct and sobering charge to those entrusted with spiritual leadership. Elders are called to shepherd God’s people willingly, eagerly, and humbly. Not for personal gain or power, but as examples to the flock. It reminds us all that leadership church leadership isn’t about control or status, but care and service. At the same time, the congreg...

April 26, 2026 Our sorrows are not meant to be stuffed down deep inside or covered over with a facade of positivity. Unlamented pain and loss will inevitably surface in unhealthy or potentially harmful ways that affect us and those around us. God has graciously provided lament, a form of prayer that expresses our hurts as well as our trust in Him. We will look at a dangerous myth, a precious truth...

April 19, 2026 In 1 Peter 4:12-19, Peter provides believers with the essential perspective needed when facing suffering for our faith. While God rarely reveals the specific "why" behind our hardships, He has given us everything required to view our circumstances through His lens. Every trial permitted in the lives of God's people serves to prepare us for the moment we meet Jesus fac...

April 12, 2026 God expects Christians to respond to life’s hardships in the same way Christ did. How we handle these difficulties matters. A Christlike attitude stands in stark contrast to the world. The more we look like Him in the midst of hardship, the more we are set apart from those around us. And that is the point! Our suffering is a platform to witness for Christ to a watching and hurting w...

April 5, 2026 Jesus Christ is risen! He, who was perfect and righteous, gave up his life for us, who are unrighteous before God in our sin. But because He conquered sin and death, we have a living hope that is ours through our faith in His Name. And now, He will preach through us to proclaim His salvation to those who remain dead in sin that they might be made alive. May God find us faithful! 1 Pe...

March 29, 2026 Life is hard. Everyone suffers, and Christians are not exempt. Some suffering is deserved, but at times, it’s unjust and undeserved. When we suffer in those moments as believers, we are faced with a choice: we can respond like the world, or we can respond in a way that reveals the hope we have in Christ. This hope rises above the injustice and pain we endure. The Apostle Peter teach...

March 22, 2026 Peter gives instructions to Christians, beginning with how they should relate to fellow believers. He emphasizes heart-centered traits that should shape their relationships. He turns to how Christians should respond to those who mistreat them, commanding not retaliation, but blessing—repaying evil, abuse, and insults with kindness. This calling reflects Jesus Himself.  Peter draws f...

March 15, 2026 A transactional marriage is the opposite of God’s design. Unfortunately, “If you treat me that way, then I will treat you this way,” is more common than God’s best. It’s so easy to fall into this trap in our relationships, especially in marriage. Ephesians 4:29-32 provides the much-needed antidote to have and to hold to God’s best for our marriages. Ephesians 4:29-32

March 8, 2026 We continue our study of God's ideal standards for godly marriages. Godly wives submit to their own husbands. God husbands lay their lives down for their wives in love and honor. God's standard is directly opposed to our default wiring. To meet His standard, we must devote ourselves first to the Lord and then to our spouse. We have the opportunity to deepen love and honor i...

March 1, 2026 The biblical concept of a wife’s submission to her husband is often misunderstood and misapplied. What God intended to be a blessing for both spouses is labeled as a curse by many people in the world, as well as in the Church. This week, we will dive into the tumultuous waters of biblical submission in marriage and see the power and blessing of God’s calling when godly wives submit t...

February 22, 2026 People are going to people… We are around people all the time, whether we are at home, school, or our workplace. We often consider our places of work as mundane—a place we have to go to earn a paycheck. When it comes to the people in these spaces, we can be passive in how we engage our coworkers or bosses. Passivity can breed contempt in us, and we can begin to speak and act towa...

February 15, 2026 As a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, and a people for God’s own possession (1 Peter 2:9), the Church has an incredible identity! We are also called “servants of God” (1 Peter 2:16). This Sunday, we will explore what this means for us. We will discover that the Christian life is a constrained life; a life lived in submission to God, regardless of our circumstances...

February 8, 2026 The Christian life is a journey. A journey full of ups, downs, beautiful meadows, rocky mountains, gorgeous sunrises, and storms that shake the very fabric of life. The Christian walks this journey though from a position of victory, hope, and deep purpose. We have been called, chosen, set apart, and made new to show the excellencies of the one who has rescued us. We walk through t...

February 1, 2026 Edmund Clowney wrote, “The church is found where the saints are found, and where they are fulfilling their calling from Christ.” (The Church. p. 114) On Sunday’s it’s common to say, “We are going to ‘church.’” But where is the church on Monday or any other day? All believers share in a high and holy calling as priests to God. Not feeling very priestly? Let’s dive into 1 Peter 2:1-...

January 25, 2026 God’s people are loved by the greatest and most unconditional love, His own. The love of God, demonstrated by Jesus’ perfect sacrifice for sin, has caused believers to be born again. We have already seen that we have been born anew to a living hope. Now in 1 Pt 1:22-25, we are born again into a deep, mutual, and genuine love, starting with our relationships in the Church, then rad...

January 18, 2025 The standard of living for a Christian is holiness, a life set apart from sinful ways, devoted and obedient to God. Holiness is the primary theme of 1 Peter 1:13-2:10. A holy life begins with a mindset, a made-up mind that is determined to reject ungodly ways and pursue God’s best in all circumstances. 1 Peter 1:13-21
