TMC is developing a unique & beautiful relationship with another Church Plant in Colorado... Lake Avenue Community Church // Pueblo, CO.
This Sunday, we were treated to that church's Pastor, Scott Godinez, joining us to share his heart for ministry, and how it applies to every Christian, in every church, everywhere...

How do you "sum-up" the book of Genesis?
We've covered 50 Chapters in 20 Weeks!
At the Very End of Genesis, Joseph provides us with a Summary Statement, and in that Statement, we can see the Major Themes of the book...
And, Guess what? They Rhyme!

Towards the end of Jacob's life, he gathered his 12 sons around him to speak words to them... words of blessing... words of prophecy... words of promise. Much of what he had to say was beautiful, meaningful, and touching. But, some of it was stinging, harsh, and hard-to-hear. We'll isolate 4 of these 12 sons and discern WHY Jacob said what he said, and HOW the words Jacob spoke then STILL APPLY TO US TODAY...

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?

Genesis 37

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 tell us about the way that Christians are to approach Conflict?

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” and a “Slickster Heel”?
