Reject Deception + Sunday Morning Resources

TCC • March 10, 2023

We had such a great time celebrating our 31 years as a church last Sunday – even though it was a snow day. What a crazy time this has been. I remember our first anniversary so well from a picture I have that we had a bright, sunny day wearing short sleeves and eating cake on the patio. Compare that to this past Sunday with heavy snow falling. This gives me a chance to say “Thank you” to our teams of eager servants who made Sunday happen, complete with donuts and baptisms. 


We are having a special baptism on March 19 for those who couldn’t make it on Sunday. So, if you’ve never been baptized after making your personal decision to follow Jesus, please take the plunge and go public with your faith. The snow kept some people from the last baptism class. If that was you, we are offering a special class this Sunday, March 12, at 9:00am. If you want to be baptized on the 19th, please email Kathy and she will contact you with details.


This Sunday we will continue our Message Series – Stand Firm. This message series is taken from 2 Thessalonians and will help us know how to stand firm in the face of adversity from those who oppose the Gospel message of Jesus. This is a perfect series for the time in which we live. Last Sunday we talked about the end of the age reckoning based on what we did with the Gospel message of Jesus. This Sunday we get to look at Paul’s teaching on the second coming of Jesus Christ and how we need to be prepared for Him to return. We will discover that there is an evil plan of deception designed to rattle us to the core about our belief that Jesus is indeed coming again. You won’t want to miss Sunday. You will leave encouraged, enlightened, and sobered about this coming reality.


Remember to “Spring Ahead” this weekend. Set your clocks forward an hour before you go to sleep on Saturday and then you can be on time for church. 


Our Growth Path that was postponed because of snow will be held this Sunday from 2:00-5:00pm. I hope you’ll make it your Sunday afternoon fun! 


You can attend every gathering in person, live stream online, or watch on demand. Please navigate through our website to find the schedule of messages and service. If you want to stream a service live or watch an archived message or service, you can find the links you need there. We welcome you to join us soon.

Joyfully living life on mission with Jesus and others,

Walking With Jesus: Spiritual Authority + Sunday Morning Resources

By TCC • October 24, 2025
This weekend, we’re continuing our Walking With Jesus series by exploring a topic that’s both fascinating and often misunderstood — spiritual authority. Throughout Luke’s Gospel, Jesus teaches and heals with astonishing authority. But what’s even more surprising is that He extends that same authority to His followers. What does that mean for us today? How do we understand and engage with the authority God has given His people? To help us navigate this conversation, I’ll be joined by my friend Dan Prout, founder of Sierra Ministries International . Together, we’ll look at what Scripture teaches about spiritual authority and how to walk in it with humility, faith, and confidence in Jesus.

The Spiritual Battle for Our Mind + Sunday Morning Resources

By TCC • October 17, 2025
Last week, we saw how Jesus meets us with both grace and truth — grace that meets us where we are, and truth that calls us into something more. But that journey of transformation doesn’t happen automatically. There’s a battle taking place for what we believe about God, about others, and especially about ourselves. This Sunday, we’ll continue Walking With Jesus as we look at how He leads us out of the false identities and broken narratives that have shaped us, and into the freedom of knowing who we truly are in Him. I hope you will join us as we learn how to let go of the lies that hold us back and live in the truth that sets us free.

Grace and Truth + Sunday Morning Resources

By TCC • October 10, 2025
It’s easy to compare ourselves to others and feel like we’re doing “pretty good.” Maybe not perfect — but at least better than t hem . But when we start measuring our worth that way, we miss the heart of God entirely. This Sunday, as we continue our Walking With Jesus series, we’ll look at a powerful moment in Luke’s Gospel that shows us how Jesus meets people with both grace and truth — and what that means for us today. Whether we’re weighed down by guilt or quietly confident in our own goodness, Jesus’ invitation is the same: come close and let His love change you.

Loving Generously + Sunday Morning Resources

By TCC • October 3, 2025
Jesus didn’t wait for people to come to Him — He intentionally moved toward outsiders, those the religious establishment considered untouchable, and reminded them that not only did God see them but loved them dearly. This Sunday, we’ll explore what it means to follow His example and love generously, extending God’s heart to those around us. Speaking of loving generously, Fall Family Festival is less than 4 weeks away! While it may seem counterintuitive for a church to have an event on Halloween, it’s our way of following Jesus’ example and radiating the light of God’s love into an otherwise dark night. Come help us share God’s love with our community. Bring a bag of individually wrapped candy with you to church on Sunday and then sign up to serve our neighbors at Fall Family Festival.

Appetite for Distraction + Sunday Morning Resources

By TCC • September 26, 2025
We live in a world that buzzes with notifications and incessant noise. Our phones, our schedules, and even our own thoughts pull us in a thousand directions at once. It’s no wonder why so many of us feel restless, scattered, and spiritually dry. What if the greatest threat to our faith isn’t doubt, but distraction? What if our souls are starving for the very thing our fast-paced culture naturally distracts us from? This Sunday, as we continue our Walking With Jesus series, we’ll look at how Jesus navigated the constant pressures and demands for His attention without becoming overwhelmed — and how one of His most important practices could be the antidote our anxious, distracted souls desperately need.

Follow Me + Sunday Morning Resources

By TCC • September 19, 2025
When Jesus says, “Follow Me,” it isn’t just an invitation to believe something new; it’s an invitation to walk with Him, to learn from Him, and to be shaped by His presence. Following Jesus always comes at a cost. But so does refusing to follow Him. This Sunday, in our Walking With Jesus series, we’ll consider what’s really at stake when we choose how to respond to His invitation to discipleship.

Secure in the Spirit + Sunday Morning Resources

By TCC • September 12, 2025
Last week, we saw how Jesus’ ministry began with the Father’s blessing and identity spoken over Him . But what came next? Rejection, criticism, and pressure to compromise or conform at every turn. How did Jesus stand strong when others doubted, opposed, or even tried to silence Him ? He was secure in His Father’s love and empowered by the Holy Spirit. This Sunday, we’ll look at what it means to live with that same Spirit-filled confidence, rooted in God’s voice and empowered by His presence, not the world’s opinions.

Let’s Take a Walk With Jesus + Sunday Morning Resources

By TCC • September 5, 2025
This Sunday we’re kicking off a new series, Walking With Jesus . Together, we’ll journey through Luke’s Gospel and learn how Jesus stayed rooted in the Father’s love, stood firm against pressure, and never lost sight of what mattered most. Our journey will begin where His public ministry began, grounded in identity, love, and blessing from the Father. That secure foundation shaped everything Jesus did, and it’s the same foundation we desperately need today. I hope you’ll join us as we take the first step in Walking With Jesus .

Don’t Just Go to Church — Be the Church + Sunday Morning Resources

By TCC • August 29, 2025
It’s so easy to think of church as a place we go for 70 minutes on Sunday. But Jesus had something far bigger in mind. The church isn’t a building or a service; it’s people. WE are the church. We comprise this brand-new movement that Jesus came to start and it’s a movement that moves beyond a building and permeates every area in our community. When you step into your school, workplace, neighborhood, or family, you bring the presence of Jesus with you.  This Sunday we’ll wrap up our Brand: New series by exploring what it means to live as the church everywhere we go and how each of us has a unique role to play in God’s mission.
