What do you think of when you hear the word “counseling”? What do you picture when you think about what counseling is? Maybe you have met with a counselor before, and your thoughts go to that experience. Maybe you have never met with a counselor before, and your mind imagines a counseling session looking like someone laying on a couch talking about their problems to someone else. When thinking about counseling, do you ever picture two people sitting together, with…

I don’t know about you, but I am excited that our church is studying through the letter of Ephesians in 2024! For me personally, the Lord has used Ephesians throughout my life to grow my understanding of Him, myself, the church, and the world around me. The Lord has used Ephesians to grow my love for Him and His bride, the Church.  The letter of Ephesians has grown both my love for our church and the burden I have for…

Years ago I found myself teaching a course at a seminary in Southeast Asia. While there I planned to connect with a few IMB missionaries. I was early for our meeting so I waited at a table in the corner. I remember almost being nervous as I waited. These were the real deal, IMB missionaries in a life-threatening environment. They had to sacrifice many basic comforts and faced persecution, yet bravely shared Jesus to whole communities who had never before heard His name. I expected…

There are precious treasures ahead for TCBC in 2024! This Sunday we begin our 7-month, verse-by-verse study of Ephesians. This New Testament epistle is rich in doctrine and prescriptive instruction for Christian living. Notice two overarching themes. First, in Christ, we are called according to His purpose. Second, in Christ, we walk according to His calling. We have been set apart in Christ by the grace of God for his glory, therefore let us live accordingly. In order to help…

As we’ve been studying and preaching through Hebrews this year, we’ve seen the resounding beat of the same drum over and over: Jesus is better!We’ve looked at answers to the question– “Better than what?” He is better than the revelation of the angels and the prophets (1:1-2). He is better than the rest that Joshua could not give (4:8-10). He is better than the high priests who had to offer continual sacrifices, including for their own sins (5:3, 9-10). He…

My name is Cameron Tucker. My family and I have been attending TCBC since 2009. When my family first began to get involved at Tri-Cities, I got put into the blue group at Awana – led by David Brewer. I was shell-shocked. I never wanted to be in a big room full of kids my age, all running around and acting up (because what kind of kid thinks that sort of thing is fun anyway?) It wasn’t until I started…

Elder Letter by Daniel BroylesWatch a short video from Pastor Daniel about Jesus’ gospel moments. 

Elder Letter by Daniel Broyles It’s late. Raven, our dog, is hiding under some furniture. The booming echoes of random fireworks bring her anxiety. I, on the other hand, find an odd sense of calm in them. It means we’re celebrating. July 4th or Independence Day is a birthday of sorts. It is a marker for the beginning of our nation, the recognition of its government and authority. Hence, we celebrate. We live in and are a part of a…

Our current letter series “Wise Practices” aims to share practical knowledge and wisdom to help us grow as doers of the word. Each letter will share applied methods and answer a ‘how.’ These practices are not perfect or comprehensive. They are personal testimonies; shared knowledge and wisdom gained through pursuit and service that helped facilitate growth in our lives. We pray they help you grow as well. Apathy isn’t laziness. And it isn’t ignorance. It’s not even complacency. Simply put:…
