Energized by Grace
Christ's church as a mission that Paul summarized as pleasing God
(1 Thessalonians 4:1). This mission is accomplished by the proclamation of a message Paul summarized as the gospel of grace (Acts 20:24). Finally a method is spelled out in Titus 2:11-14 - believers are energized by God's grace to live in a way that is otherwise impossible.
Christ’s church may be described as a group of people energized by grace to do the impossible for the glory of God. The mission of sending ordinary people to reach every person in the world seems impossible. The message of grace - that God did everything possible to be done and anyone can come to Him merely by faith seems impossible. And that everything would be through the method of people being energized by the Spirit of God seems impossible. Yet Christ’s church is here and going throughout the world with His glorious Gospel of Grace. Learn more...

TBC Memory Verses
MARK 2:16-17, NKJV
And when the scribes and Pharisees saw Him eating with the tax collectors and sinners, they said to His disciples, How is it that He eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?” When Jesus heard it, He said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to
repentance.”

During the TBC Family Missions Trip to Mexico in May we will be visiting a colonia (neighborhood).

If you would like to help be a part of this ministry, you may donate new or gently used bath towels, shampoo, conditioner, or lotion for us to use at the hair washing and as a gift to the ladies. You may drop items off in the box labeled “Mexico Missions Trip” that is located in the Lighthouse Flock by Sunday, April 27th. If you have any questions you may contact Julianna Adams.
