We recognize the Ascension of Jesus Christ. Can you imagine standing on a hill side, hearing Jesus' final instruction to "be his witness to the world" then rising up into the heavens? As we wrap up our I HEART Spring Hill series we will be reminded of how our own stories of God's Mighty Deeds need to be told. 

How do we love Spring Hill well? We need to give to those who have less than we do or have needs greater than ours. If we do that, we can spread the gospel of Jesus and also show his love through us by our actions.
 Mark 14:3-9 & Mark 16:14-18

Join us as we dive into “The Great Commission” as depicted in the Gospel of Matthew.  This account of the post-resurrection teaching of Jesus focuses on being a witness to all nations – to establish the church among all people-groups.  Through the presence of the Risen Lord, we are called to go, baptize, and teach the gospel.  We, as Trinity Church, have been called and commissioned to carry the gospel of all people-groups.  What does that mean and who are we missing?

?As we sing a new song to the Lord, we will revisit the familiar gospel passage from Luke 24 and journey with the women as they go to the tomb early on Sunday morning. As they walk, they wonder, "who will roll the stone away for us?" Their grief and worry over the stone caused them to no longer hear the new song being sung over all of creation - a song of redemption, miraculous new life, and joy! What stones are in your way? How can God bring new life and a new song into your heart?

Soundtrack-Abiding Scripture: Psalms 121; John 15:1-17
"The gospel of Jesus Christ is the singular, yet comprehensive, solution to all that is broken in our lives and in this world. This is not a naive overstatement of grandiose faith. Every manner of human brokenness, family dysfunction, abuse of power, criminal act, injustice, deceptive motive....all of it comes back to our broken and distorted human condition. The world will only be redeemed and transformed to the extent human nature is redeemed and transformed. This is why we call the gospel the 'good news.' The inbreaking of the kingdom of God overturns systemic evil and human brokenness. Jesus Christ has come to redeem and transform"

Psalms 4; John 10:7-18 Animosity
Join us as we dive into "animosity" and find out how "the joy of Jesus" can replace our yucky attitude! 

Psalms 59; Luke 9:46-56 Anger
During the season of lent (Feb 21-March 28) we will examine our need for redemption by reviewing the Psalms and how the Psalms lead us to Jesus Christ. The Psalms are our songbook they are meant to express human emotion in both lament and praise - they are the heart of the word of God and the melody that transforms words into movement. Each week we will hear the Psalm sung to a familiar tune and dive deep into the human condition and corresponding redemption that comes through Jesus Christ. As we journey through lent, we will shed our human absorption and embrace the redemption of Jesus Christ. Notice the titles below- the first 3 grapple with the human condition while the final three turn the corner toward praise of God and what we receive when we trade our sorrows for His joy!

Scripture: Psalms 44; Mark 4:35-41 Abandoned

This week we continue our "Following Jesus Together" sermon series by examining John 4:4-13. Jesus engages a Samaritan woman, embraces her with love and equips her to become his follower. Why would Jesus cross cultural boundaries to change this woman's life? Why did Jesus leave heaven and come to earth in the first place? It's all about God's love and amazing grace! Let us be a church who shares the love of Jesus Christ. 

John 1:1-5; 1:43-49: What does it mean to follow Jesus? How exactly does a church "make" disciples of Jesus Christ? Trinity Church has answered that question with this vision statement: We will ENGAGE our community with the gospel of Jesus Christ, EMBRACE one another with the love of Jesus Christ and EQUIP our church to follow Jesus Christ!" To support this process of disciple-making we have created new ministry teams - community engagement; caring ministries; family ministries; and the small group leaders team to name a few. This Sunday's sermon will take a closer look at the GOSPEL - what is it and how do we share it in engaging ways?
