Trinity Baptist Church exists to proclaim Christ
and make disciples of those who claim Christ,
all for the glory of Christ.
February 2015
On February 1, 2015, we will host our annual Celebrate Community Sunday. This has become one of my
favorite Sundays of the year as we join together to worship our Great God in one worship service, followed
by a church-wide meal in the ROC. During our time of corporate worship, we will partake of the Lord’s
Supper together, reflecting on His saving grace and celebrating the unity that we experience in light of what
Jesus has accomplished in His life, death, and resurrection. I hope that you will make plans to
worship with us that day and to stay for the meal following our worship service. Please remember the
alternate worship schedule on Sunday, February 1. Sunday School will be at 9:15am and
Worship will be at 10:30am.
Having studied 1 Corinthians together now for the past several months, I am more grateful every day that
we are part of Trinity Baptist Church. Reading about all the chaos in the church at Corinth can be
depressing at times. Realizing that so many of their issues were self-inflicted wounds, caused by their
arrogance, rejection of God’s wisdom, and propensity to worldliness, is eye opening. While we are
certainly not a perfect church, I continually give thanks to God that He has (and is) showing us grace and
mercy. In a church of our size, we could easily give in to the temptation to be driven by our own personal
preferences. If not for God’s grace, our personal agendas and self-centered desires would rule the day.
In part, this is what was happening in Corinth, and the divisions and factions were tearing the church apart.
To this church, Paul writes to remind them that God has set them free from the power of sin. He writes to
remind them that they are no longer who they used to be. He writes: “But you were washed, you were
sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God”
(1 Corinthians 6:11). God’s merciful intervention makes all the difference in life. God’s grace in Christ serves
as the basis for everything that Paul will write in 1 Corinthians 12 as it pertains to being members of the
same Body – the Body of Christ. Praise God that He has saved us from the eternal death that we
deserve because of our sinful rebellion against Him. Praise God that He has delivered us from our sinful
idolatry and from the power of sin. And praise God, that in calling us to Himself, He has made us one in
Christ.
What a blessing it is to be part of a church that is concerned about God’s glory above all other things.
May we continue to love one another with brotherly affection and outdo one another in showing honor
(Romans 12:10). May we do this for God’s glory, intentionally seeking to protect the unity that Jesus died to
secure. Celebrate with us on February 1, as we reflect on God’s amazing grace.
For God’s Glory,
Pastor Nate

Friday, February 7 - Kelly Alumni Dining Hall, WTAMU at 7:00pm
John Njoroge - Why does a kind and loving God let bad things happen to good people? Christians are committed to the
propositions that 1) God is wholly good, 2) God is all powerful and all knowing and 3) Evil exists. If God is the sole source of all that
exists, how can evil be a part of it? Why didn't He correct the problem before He created anything? The problem of evil is almost
always given as the number one reason why people reject God. In this session, we will explore why Christians believe in God and
worship Him in spite of the reality of evil, pain, and suffering.
Saturday, February 8 – Hillside Christian Church
Session One: 9-9:45am - Margaret Manning, The Reasons for Hope: Cultural Challenges to the Gospel - In every generation, new
challenges and opportunities arise for communicating the gospel. In this session, we’ll explore some of the unique challenges to
the gospel that have arisen in the 20th-21st century that impact how we engage the culture with the gospel.
Session Two: 10-10:45am - Cameron McAllister, Vital Signs: Signs of Life in a Dying Culture - A casual survey of today’s cultural
landscape yields results that are frequently less than encouraging. There are, however, ample reasons for hope. This workshop
will highlight a number of the leading cultural voices (many of them non-Christian) that are asking the right questions, wrestling with
the right issues, and even pointing in the right direction. The aim will be to recommend a hopeful and well-rounded approach to the
world of popular culture that fosters deeper conversations with our non-Christian friends.
Session Three: 11-11:45am - Margaret Manning, The Reasons for Hope: Our Response New challenges bring new opportunities
for sharing the good news of the gospel. In this session, we’ll highlight those opportunities, and we’ll look at the life/ministry of
Jesus for 2,000 year old answers for our contemporary questions.
Session Four: 12-1:00pm – Q&A with John Njoroge, Margaret Manning, and Cameron McAllister

“For the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give
his life as a ransom for many.”
Mark 10:45
Community matters! At least it should. Really deep down all of us have a desire to belong to
a community. It was wired into who we were by our Creator God. It is continually talked
about throughout our neighborhoods and schools. Even the secular world has some ideas of
belonging to a community. Because of this, all of us have some sense of what it takes to
make a community successful. It takes the members of the community working together to
accomplish the goal(s) of the community. Trinity is a community of believers who are
united in Christ through repentance and faith.
Our goal is to proclaim Christ and make disciples of those who claim Christ, all for the
glory of Christ. Being a disciple of Christ means we will live like Jesus and love like Jesus.
The ultimate expression of Christ’s love was his sacrifice on the Cross. His love for us was
demonstrated through his service to us. In Mark 10:45, Jesus describes his reason for
coming to this earth, “For the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his
life as a ransom for many.” Service marked the life of Jesus. As followers of Christ, our lives
should be marked by the same kind of service.
Unfortunately, our tendency is to look at all the other things we feel like we should do with
our time, and then if we have anything left over, we will offer that in service to God. Christ’s
life was prioritized with a service first attitude. His desires and his needs came second to
others. As followers of Christ, should not the same attitude flow through us? What if we
looked at our time and resources as belonging to God and others and served those needs
first? What if we put our wants and desires to the background and went to work serving the
needs of others first?
This month, we are focusing on and looking at community. The key to any community is
the unity the members of the community have with each other. What if our community was
marked by an others first attitude? What if the needs in our community were met before
most people even knew about them? What if people were falling over one another to help
and serve? Would this not be a community that screams to the world, “We are different
because our Savior came to serve and not be served”?
If you are wondering how this kind of service can manifest itself in our church, then let me
encourage you to find one of the many opportunities to serve our community here at
Trinity. If you are already serving, thank you for modeling the life of our Savior to a world
that desperately needs Him. If you are not serving, let me challenge you to take steps
toward Christ-likeness and serve. Let’s all join in praying that the Spirit would give us a
heart to serve our community here at Trinity so that we can be more effective in
proclaiming Christ and making disciples of those who claim Christ, all for the glory of
Christ!

Women’s Spring Bible Study
February 11 and 12, begins the Spring Women’s Bible Study. We will be studying The Promised One: Seeing
Jesus in Genesis. This study provides a fresh look at the book of Genesis, leading women in discovering how its
stories, symbols, people, and promises point to Christ. During this ten weeks of study, participants will see Christ
as the agent of creation, the offspring who will crush the head of the serpent, the ark of salvation, the source of
the righteousness credited to Abraham, the substitutionary sacrifice provided by God, and the Savior to whom
the whole world must come for life and much more. Two classes are offered, one on Wednesday morning, from
9:30 until 11:30am, and one on Thursday evening, from 7:00 until 9:00pm. Childcare is available for the
Wednesday morning sessions only. Call the church office 372.2421, to make reservations for childcare.
The cost for the Bible study is $15. Invite your friends!
