We hare having our first annual TCBC Missions Month this upcoming September, 2010.

From beginning to end, the Bible testifies to God’s passion for His glory. In Isaiah 48:11, God declares that His glory is the ultimate “end” of His actions: “For My own sake, for My own sake, I will act; For how can My name be profaned? And My glory I will not give to another.” It must necessarily follow, then, that the spread of His glory is the chief end for which missions ex-ists. To miss God’s primary passion for missions is to miss the heart of missions.

Please pray for this upcoming month of September as we see how God is raising up men who are burdened to do the work of spreading God’s glory to the nations. We have invited 4 men who are actively involved in missions in varying degrees:

Our schedule is as follows:

Sept 5th – Nick will introduce us to the Vision for missions

Sept 12th – Stephen will explain the Call to missions

Sept 19th AM – Angelo will show the the Preparation for missions
Sept 19th PM – Greg will explain the Church’s role in missions

Sept 26th – Nonilo will encourage us with the Work of Missions

Please be sure to also attend September 19th at 9am where Angelo will teach Sunday School and share with us the new work that God has called him to do.

Here is the TCBC September Missions Month flyer .

For our men’s study we are going to be challenged by Stuart Scott’s book, The Exemplary Husband: A biblical perspective.

How do you view the Old Testament?  In your quiet times would you rather spend time in the New Testament because the Old Testament seems well.. really old?  Do you find the Old Testament hard to follow?  To help answer these questions and more we have started a new series called Full of Promise.  Jesus said, “Then beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.” (Luke 24:27).

It is a study of the Old Testament which helps us understand the purpose and plan of God to redeem His people through Christ.  Be encouraged once again as you find Christ throughout the Old Testament books.

We meet on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday’s  of every month at the Lacson’s between 7-9pm.  We also have child-care and youth group that same evening at our main building.

Decisions, decisions!  How do we make decisions or handle challenging situations that God allows us to go through?  How can we discern right from wrong?  The Scriptures teach the importance of applying spiritual discernment:

But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.  – Hebrews 5:14

How can this be practically applied?  How do we train our powers of discernment?  Join our Wed. night bible study as we learn the fundamentals of developing our skill of spiritual discernment.

We meet every other week at the Lacson home.  For directions  or more information call (916) 669-8491.

The discernment notes can be downloaded here: Spiritual Discernment Notes.

Winston Churchill once said, “Those that fail to learn from history, are doomed to repeat it.”

Our faith as Christians depends upon history.   Our faith is made possible because of a historic event where God became man and died for sinners.  Our justification is grounded on the historical resurrection event.

Come join this fascinating study of how the Jesus Christ continues to build His church through the centuries and uses imperfect vessels for His glorious purposes.

Our Sunday School hour starts at 9am-10am.  Child-care and breakfast are provided.

We are starting our membership classes during the Sunday School hour between 9am-10am.  If you are interested in becoming a member of TCBC, please come and learn about the Church’s theological distinctives, philosophy of ministry, and by-laws.  Morning snacks and coffee are always provided.

We are currently undergoing a series on the person and work of Jesus Christ, also known as Christology.

In the history of mankind there has never been so popular and controversial figure than Jesus Christ. In our study of Jesus, we pose many questions surrounding his person and work. What does the Old Testament say about Jesus? Why are there so many “versions” of Jesus? What part of Jesus was man and what part of Jesus was God? When did his existence begin? What is the difference between immaculate conception and miraculous conception? What do Catholics believe about Jesus?  Is Jesus really the only way to salvation?

Please join our fascinating and encouraging study of Jesus Christ at 9am.

Thanks to Charity and Lindsay for opening up their home to the ladies for pizza and peticures!
