February 5, 2023 Centuries after God preserved humanity in Noah, God begins a new era in Abraham. With Abraham, God makes a lasting covenant with a lasting sign that will set apart those who worship Him as His Covenant People. This era begins to demonstrate God’s longterm plan of prosperity & graciousness to those who call upon his name in faith while also demonstrating the high calling of His...

January 22, 2023 With the judgment of humanity through the flood, God renews both creation and His covenant through Noah and his family. The covenant renewal reinforces the design and desire of God for humanity to produce, preserve, and protect life. This era continues to hold up God’s ideal world for His people as well as to show humanity’s bent toward corruption and rejecting God Genesis 8:20-9:...

January 29, 2023 Welcome to Family Worship at TBC! This week we launch a 4-part series for our 5th Sunday’s together in 2023. The anchor passage for the series comes from 1 Corinthians 13:7, “love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” Today, we focus on love bears all things and how we reflect God in our families and church through the value of loving protec...

January 15, 2023 After the Fall, humanity continued to corrupt the image of God through violence, selfishness, and abusive power. Two genealogies are provided that contrast the line of Cain, known for industry and achievement, with the line of Seth, known for those who called on the name of the Lord (at least until they, too, walked in corrupt ways). To know the story of God in Scripture, we must...

January 8, 2023 This week begins a new series called The Big Picture: God's Story of Redemption. The first message starts, appropriately, at the beginning! With God's creation and Humanity's fall. Genesis 1:26-31 NOTE: Unfortunately, due to undetected technical issues during the recording of the worship service, the audio of both the live stream and podcast came in distorted. We’ve...

December 18, 2022 Acts 1:3 says, “[Jesus] presented himself alive to [the apostles whom he had chosen] after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.” It’s no wonder that the apostles’ biggest question was, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” After seeing their risen Savior, the apostles suffered from tunnel v...

January 1, 2023 It’s New Year’s Day! 2023 has dawned. For some, this day represents renewed resolve or a new direction in life. For others, this day is simply the next day on the calendar. Both perspectives need biblical guidance and vision. TBC will begin the year with an important question, “what will you treasure?” What we treasure will determine the pursuit of our hearts and the values shaping...

December 11, 2022 No one knows when Christ will return in glory. There is one condition given by Christ to His people, however. Is it to make predictions? No! Is it to walk in fear of evil? No! The condition Christ gave was twofold: to stay awake (watchful) and be ready (faithful). As we count down the days until His return, the Church must remain faithful to the calling given to us as wise stewar...

December 4, 2022 Week 2 of the Counting Down the Days Series. We must be Watchful as we wait.

November 27, 2022 The countdown to Christmas is upon us as Advent begins. For believers in Christ, this season recognizes the truth that God became man in Jesus as our Lord and Savior and that He is coming back soon. In our Advent series, we will find encouragement and exhortation in the values which must mark us as a church as we count down the days to Christ’s return. This week we will see the p...

The final passage of Hebrews, the ultimate truth is exemplified from the book: Jesus is truly better because his grace satisfies our hearts, we are nourished by his accessibility, and our worship is pleasing to him. Hebrews 13:7-25

John Hattenberger walks through Hebrews 12:12-29

The defining, ongoing characteristic within the church is brotherly love, or at least is should be! The writer of Hebrews charged his readers with a call to love selflessly in both the church and the home. Brotherly love is a love grounded in grace, humility, and purity. This sort of love is unmatched in our world and is one of the greatest differences between the love of Christ and the counterfei...

October 30, 2022 When the world experiences suffering a typical response is to blame God for being careless, cold, and distant. After all, how could a benevolent God allow such hardship? Hebrews 12:4-11 reveals the God-given purpose of the difficulties and hardships we face. God does not waste our hurts and our losses. Through suffering, we experience His faithful provision that has a training eff...

October 23, 2022 When runners run a race, the course is already set before them. Preparation had been made long before they approach the starting line. This implies someone had already traced the path, set the boundaries, and marked out the starting line, the twists and turns, and the finish. We follow the One who has gone before us, Jesus Christ the Righteous. The point is not to ask the question...

October 16, 2022 “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” More than a general definition of faith, this often-quoted verse is linked to a specific promise of God. He has a future home for us, “an unshakable realm,” according to one scholar. And when we receive this promise we will find our Savior waiting to wrap us up in His great embrace. Until then, th...

October 9, 2022 Special Guest Preacher, Pastor Morris Ogenga,  continues our Hebrews series in Hebrews 10:26-39 exhorting believers to persevere. 

October 2, 2022 As the writer of Hebrews draws his section about the High Priestly attributes of Christ to an end, he moves toward a glorious exhortation for God’s people. Since believers have access to God in Christ Jesus, there are glorious benefits and also serious responsibilities. The author shares three areas of exhortation meant to keep  believers steadfast in their pursuit of holiness—a se...

September 25, 2022 The first two sections of Hebrews establish the supremacy of Jesus Christ as our King (ch.’s 1-4) and our great High Priest (ch.’s 5-10:18). As we close the Priestly section, the author of Hebrews presents the truth that Christ’s perfect sacrifice for sin has forever secured the redemption and sanctification of believers. We have been set apart as holy before God that we would l...

September 18, 2022 Jesus mediates a new and better covenant than what God’s people had under the Mosaic law. That old covenant was conditioned on the obedience of the people and the ministry of the priests. Ultimately, they failed in keeping the regulations and as a result were disciplined by God. But God made a promise to redeem. His promise was kept by sending God the Son who through his complet...

September 11, 2022 God has done the most wonderful work for those who believe. Through the shed blood of His Son, eternal redemption is secured. Eternally redeemed! Wow. For the Christian, nothing we could ever do can undo Christ’s redeeming work. Through the Holy Spirit, our consciences are continually purified. In Hebrews 9:1-14, we will discover a purpose equally wonderful to the work of securi...

August 28, 2022 Because Christ ministers with supreme authority, we should see His as greater than every circumstance, problem, shortcoming , or situation we could ever have or face. The writer of Hebrews reminds his readers that NOT seeing Him as greater was their exact problem. Hebrews 8:1-5

September 4, 2022 Jesus has made a new covenant relationship with God possible for all who believe. The old covenant failed because of the people’s lack of devotion and obedience. By grace, God has provided a better covenant in Christ; one that is unconditional and is based on God’s promises. While we do not earn our own way into this relationship, we are called to live out lives of devotion and o...

August 21, 2022 As the Great High Priest for the Church, Jesus secured our access to God. The One who dwells in unapproachable light calls those who are redeemed, cleansed, and forgiven to come close. Yet, like the first audience of Hebrews, we face temptations to drift away rather than draw near. If we are to endure and if we are to mature, then we must faithfully enter into God’s presence throug...

We often think of hope in terms of optimism. We think that as long as I stay positive and “think happy thoughts” that it will all work out in the end. The Bible does not paint hope in optimistic terms or happy thoughts but rather with words of certainty and objective thinking. Believer, our God has made promises in his word to us and God asks us to not just believe in them but to bank our lives on...
