4 Words out of Joseph's mouth tell us a lot about the lessons he's learned in the 20 years since he's been connected with his family. And, those 4 words can have a HUGE effect on the way that YOU step into your assignment each and every day moving forward... Find out what those 4 words are, and what their significance is really all about as we study Genesis 45:1-8.

As we embark upon the beginning of YEAR 3 at TMC, Acts 17 offers up 3 Mission-Critical Questions... and this OUTDOOR SERVICE offered up 2 VERY INTERESTING guests.

That journey was filled with high highs and treacherous lows.  But, every step of the way, the Bible makes a very clear, very intentional point:  “God was WITH Joseph” What can we learn from that revelation?  Why does Your Bible want you to pay attention to that reality?  GENESIS 39...

Humans tend to do a bad job of encouraging dreamers. We are much better suited towards the proven path than road less traveled. But, the God of the Bible is pretty keen on dreams and visions. He tends to cast vision into the hearts of leaders that send them into the unknown. Joseph was a dreamer… but, did he handle God’s dreams with appropriate care? If not, what does that kind of care look like?...

It’s all been leading up to this… The “Slick Heel” & The “Hairy Face” reunited… Like an Old West Showdown…  Nowhere to Run, and Nowhere to Hide… But, it’s not gonna go down like you might think.   What this moment in Genesis does for us is set the table for a conversation about Healthy Conflict Resolution. What do you do when it’s time to fight? Who do you become? What does Scripture have to t...

One of the most famous moments in the book of Genesis happens in the crescendo of Jacob's life... as he is preparing for what could either be the next or the last conversation he'll ever have with his brother Esau, he "wrestles" with God. But, what led to that WRESTLE? And, what are we supposed to learn from it?

As we continue to track with this Chosen Family of God…  A family that puts the “mess” is “messiah”… We have made it to the story of Isaac’s two famous sons:  Esau & Jacob . Pastor Fike had some fun relating the world of Professional Wrestling and the drama of Hollywood storytelling to the two major deceptions one of the boys pulled on the other.  What can be learned from a “Hairy Babyface” an...

By the time we get to the end of the book of Genesis, the God of the Bible is referred to as "The God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob". But, at the onset of Genesis Chapter 26... that hasn't happened for Isaac just yet. So, how did the God of Abraham BECOME the God of Isaac, and how does the God of the Bible BECOME the God that YOU will put YOUR faith in?

-When God makes a promise, what’s YOUR responsibility to it? -Is there anything YOU can do to SPEED up the process? -Is there anything YOU can do to MESS up the Promise? The answers to  THESE & a few more questions await you in this week's message from Jeff Rudder about GOD'S DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY

It's an astonishing revelation...  Not only was the promise God gave to Abram & Sarai a wild one for them to comprehend... that they would bear a son in their old age, and that he would spawn many generations of Nations and Promise...  But, that EVEN IN THAT MOMENT, God was considering YOU and ME.  His Covenant with Abram & Sarai wasn't just a Covenant with a faithful, elderly couple.  It...

What if the story of Noah and the Ark isn't quite the "children's story" we've made it out to be? What if it's quite a bit more "adult"? What if it actually requires an extreme amount of maturity, complexity, nuance and theological depth to make sense of the story of a World-Wide Flood, a Great and Holy God, and an Average Human Being who was hand-picked to reset humanity? What if this isn't quite...

We all love the passages of Scripture that maker perfect sense the very first time we read them. We also love the ones that edify us right away. We’ll even put up with the ones that convict us as soon as we read them.   But, there is a category of Scripture that many of us have a really hard time knowing what to do with… the WEIRD ONES. The ones where we’re not sure what they’re talking about, and...

After Two Beautiful Chapters of Near-Perfect Existence, THE BIBLE takes a sharp turn in Chapter 3. The End of The Beginning Quickly Becomes The Beginning of The End. Defiance leads to Deception which leads to Disobedience. And, all of that leads to the Biggest Problem in the History of Humanity. Find out all about it in today’s landmark sermon… THE BEGINNING OF THE END. 

Genesis 1 tells how the world, and every living creature, was made.  And, when you turn the page, the Bible tells the story… again.  But, this time, we get a little more detail about US. Specifically about WOMAN.  She was made in a fashion that is different than every other created thing.  Let’s talk about it… 

Genesis 1 marks the END of The Beginning.  After God gets done Creating His world, He won’t create anything else.  He’ll say of His creation, “It is Very Good.”  Pastor Richie Fike and his son Justus set out on this Father’s Day to answer the question…  “What’s SO GOOD about God’s Creation?” 

Sometimes, when you need some good perspective on the world you’re living in, you need to go back to the beginning. How did we get here? Is this how it’s supposed to be? Why does life feel like this? Is this how it’s always felt? GENESIS is the first book of the Bible for a reason. It helps us to recenter ourselves in the story that find ourselves smack dab in the middle of. And, this week is week...

In week one of this Sermon Series, Pastor Fike gave us a picture of an unhealthy dashboard.  This week, we’re getting a look, through the life of Jesus, at an alternative.  “SP Levels” (Spiritual Practice Levels) are ways to take stock of our soul’s capacity.  So, before you get too far into this sermon, go outside, grab a rock and rifle through your junk drawer to find a sharpie.  You’ll want a s...

So, how are we supposed to do it? In this crazy world, running at break-neck speed, fighting against competing values and relentless opportunities... how are we supposed to live WITHIN the boundaries of our God-given, God-designed capacity? Maybe the only way to know for sure is to pay attention to how the only limitless being in existence existed while He lived within the confines of a limited sp...

Last week we diagnosed the problem - we’re all doing too much, too fast, and it’s hurting us.  So, how do you even begin to start attacking a solution to a problem so systemic?  How do you approach an issue that’s gotten so deep into our root system… so present in our bloodstream… that it’s hard to even separate the difference between the truth of what’s good for us and the lies that keep causing...

In this new Sermon Series, “ CAPACITY ”, we’ll take a hard look at the condition of our souls, the example of our Savior, and the prescription found in Scripture for how we are to approach the concept of stewarding the most precious commodity we have… the one shot we have at living life on this side of eternity.   Is the Christian life supposed to be a life of “red-lining”? Are we supposed to be p...

For 8 weeks in this series, we’ve listened as folks have asked Jesus the same question in their own way, and marveled as Jesus has answered each questioner in His own way.  This week, as we close the series, Jesus has a question for us.  He is going to flip our question on its ear.  Get ready to interrogate your heart and search for the answer to one of the great questions you’ll ever hear the God...

There are several moments in the Easter Story that could have served as "THE END" of the story, and had the story ended at any of those moments, it STILL would have been a very good story. But, every one of those moments would have left us with a reason for DOUBT. Instead, the Easter story extends beyond an Empty Grave, and women racing from the tomb... all the way to where YOU are, right now, rea...

Every Palm Sunday, (The Sunday before Easter), we are reminded of the story of a crowd of people ravenously celebrating the “triumphant arrival” of Jesus into their town.    That same crowd of people, in that same town, just a few days later are just as ravenous in their opposition as they were in their praise.  How? Why? And, what can we learn from such a turn-of-a-dime reversal?  Could it be tha...

Most of us have lived long enough to know that there’s a lot more than “two kinds of people” in this world. But, at the onset of eternity, as it’s all getting sorted out, and Jesus Christ is asserting his authority and granting access to HIs Kingdom, that’s really all there ’s gonna be. Find out who they are, and how to get into the “right” group in this week’s sermon out of Matthew 7 & 25. 

What If I told you that you don’t need Jesus to make it to Heaven, and that hidden in plain-sight of the pages of the Bible is a LOOPHOLE allowing anyone brave enough, strong enough, and righteous enough to pass through it to give it a try? What if I told you that even Jesus acknowledges the existence of this loophole? It would be malpractice NOT to share that loophole with an earnest questioner w...
