September 30, 2024 Novel > Discernment
True life is found when we lay ours down. Today, pastors Toran and Austin taught together about the difference between decision-making and discernment, reaching a place of holy indifference. This is a deep inner posture of surrender and release of our entire lives to God, being open to whatever He wants to do.

God likes to bring dead things back to life. In Ezekiel 37, there's a vision of a valley of dry bones being breathed back to life. God's heart then was for restoration and it still is today. Where do you need the Spirit to do a work in you so that He can do something through you?

September 09, 2024 Novel > Seeing With New Eyes: Toran Scott
Have you ever been around something so long that it becomes familiar and loses its impact? That can sometimes happen to us with church. We need new eyes. This morning, we examined three key parts of the Great Commission found in Matthew 28 and how TLC's mission flows from this scripture. We are one small church in Christ's larger Church, and we are committed to making disciples of Jesus.

August 26, 2024 Lessons From Sabbatical > How to Die: Austin Presnell
All of the Christian life is a movement toward death; but how do we die well? By practicing dying and surrendering to Jesus. We can do this by practicing letting go of two specific things: our desire to be seen by others, and our desire for control. Pastor Austin asked us - where would we rather not go? And are we willing and able to let Jesus lead us there anyway if he desires it?
