Year-End Gift 2020

TCC • November 23, 2020

Hey Family and Friends,

I love how generous you are. We are at a unique time in our culture, and people need the church. Jesus set up His CHURCH to be the main force through which He would offer hope and help to the world. As each of us gives generously to His church, we become part of something that brings peace and changes lives for the better.

As we look around, we can see that the needs are great in our world today. God has placed His church here to express and release His deep compassion to the hurting in our world. We see the effects of the COVID logjam we’ve endured the past nine months, and it’s overwhelming. It’s so inspiring, though, to look back at history and see that the church has actively engaged to help meet the needs of those who are hurting.

Friends, we’re seeing suicide rates climb in Nevada County and in every part of our country. We’re hearing of stories of families who are going without food. We’re seeing more and more homelessness, domestic violence, marital discord, divorce, and family breakups are going on – even though we may not see it underneath the cover of COVID.

God has placed Twin Cities as His church in this place for just this moment. We’re here to shine His healing light. We’re here to spread His fragrant seasoning. We’re here to unleash His empathetic compassion. We’re here to be His voice of comforting peace. We’re here to LOVE EVERYONE ALWAYS and to be a place WHERE HOPE IS FOUND.

I’m asking you to join me in praying about how we can help even more people experience God’s love in the coming year through your generous giving to our Year-End Gift. In 2020, we’ve been able to pivot

and offer quality online church services by adding new equipment, software, and staff. Folks, our online presence has been a lifeline for so many. Here’s a comment from last Sunday from a person who made

it to an onsite service for the first time since March. She said, “Even though I have not physically been here, I watch every Sunday, and if I hadn’t been able to do this, I would not have the hope and strength I have now. Thank you so very much!”

We’ve been able to help those who have needs for shelter, food, and support. We’ve been able to engage in even greater ways with our ministry partners who work to alleviate the suffering and struggle of so many hurting people. We’ve been able to grow our weekly number of people who are engaging with us online. We’ve engaged with our community by serving in unique ways, and God keeps opening up opportunities for more all the time.

All of this has been made possible by your consistent, faithful, and generous giving which is one of the key values of our church.

Each year we ask everyone who calls Twin Cities their home to go before God with a humble and sincere heart and ask Him to guide us as to how we can give generously to support our mission to engage together to lead as many people as possible into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. Will you pray and ask God what He would have you give and then respond accordingly to His leading?

I look forward to watching to see how God is going to continue to use our church to bring His Kingdom into he far reaches of our world and to those who feel they are furthest from Him.

Joyfully living everyday life on mission with Jesus and others!

Walking With Jesus: Spiritual Authority + Sunday Morning Resources

By TCC • October 24, 2025

This weekend, we’re continuing our Walking With Jesus series by exploring a topic that’s both fascinating and often misunderstood — spiritual authority. Throughout Luke’s Gospel, Jesus teaches and heals with astonishing authority. But what’s even more surprising is that He extends that same authority to His followers. What does that mean for us today? How do we understand and engage with the authority God has given His people? To help us navigate this conversation, I’ll be joined by my friend Dan Prout, founder of Sierra Ministries International . Together, we’ll look at what Scripture teaches about spiritual authority and how to walk in it with humility, faith, and confidence in Jesus.

The Spiritual Battle for Our Mind + Sunday Morning Resources

By TCC • October 17, 2025

Last week, we saw how Jesus meets us with both grace and truth — grace that meets us where we are, and truth that calls us into something more. But that journey of transformation doesn’t happen automatically. There’s a battle taking place for what we believe about God, about others, and especially about ourselves. This Sunday, we’ll continue Walking With Jesus as we look at how He leads us out of the false identities and broken narratives that have shaped us, and into the freedom of knowing who we truly are in Him. I hope you will join us as we learn how to let go of the lies that hold us back and live in the truth that sets us free.

Grace and Truth + Sunday Morning Resources

By TCC • October 10, 2025

It’s easy to compare ourselves to others and feel like we’re doing “pretty good.” Maybe not perfect — but at least better than t hem . But when we start measuring our worth that way, we miss the heart of God entirely. This Sunday, as we continue our Walking With Jesus series, we’ll look at a powerful moment in Luke’s Gospel that shows us how Jesus meets people with both grace and truth — and what that means for us today. Whether we’re weighed down by guilt or quietly confident in our own goodness, Jesus’ invitation is the same: come close and let His love change you.

Loving Generously + Sunday Morning Resources

By TCC • October 3, 2025

Jesus didn’t wait for people to come to Him — He intentionally moved toward outsiders, those the religious establishment considered untouchable, and reminded them that not only did God see them but loved them dearly. This Sunday, we’ll explore what it means to follow His example and love generously, extending God’s heart to those around us. Speaking of loving generously, Fall Family Festival is less than 4 weeks away! While it may seem counterintuitive for a church to have an event on Halloween, it’s our way of following Jesus’ example and radiating the light of God’s love into an otherwise dark night. Come help us share God’s love with our community. Bring a bag of individually wrapped candy with you to church on Sunday and then sign up to serve our neighbors at Fall Family Festival.

Appetite for Distraction + Sunday Morning Resources

By TCC • September 26, 2025

We live in a world that buzzes with notifications and incessant noise. Our phones, our schedules, and even our own thoughts pull us in a thousand directions at once. It’s no wonder why so many of us feel restless, scattered, and spiritually dry. What if the greatest threat to our faith isn’t doubt, but distraction? What if our souls are starving for the very thing our fast-paced culture naturally distracts us from? This Sunday, as we continue our Walking With Jesus series, we’ll look at how Jesus navigated the constant pressures and demands for His attention without becoming overwhelmed — and how one of His most important practices could be the antidote our anxious, distracted souls desperately need.

Follow Me + Sunday Morning Resources

By TCC • September 19, 2025

When Jesus says, “Follow Me,” it isn’t just an invitation to believe something new; it’s an invitation to walk with Him, to learn from Him, and to be shaped by His presence. Following Jesus always comes at a cost. But so does refusing to follow Him. This Sunday, in our Walking With Jesus series, we’ll consider what’s really at stake when we choose how to respond to His invitation to discipleship.

Secure in the Spirit + Sunday Morning Resources

By TCC • September 12, 2025

Last week, we saw how Jesus’ ministry began with the Father’s blessing and identity spoken over Him . But what came next? Rejection, criticism, and pressure to compromise or conform at every turn. How did Jesus stand strong when others doubted, opposed, or even tried to silence Him ? He was secure in His Father’s love and empowered by the Holy Spirit. This Sunday, we’ll look at what it means to live with that same Spirit-filled confidence, rooted in God’s voice and empowered by His presence, not the world’s opinions.

Let’s Take a Walk With Jesus + Sunday Morning Resources

By TCC • September 5, 2025

This Sunday we’re kicking off a new series, Walking With Jesus . Together, we’ll journey through Luke’s Gospel and learn how Jesus stayed rooted in the Father’s love, stood firm against pressure, and never lost sight of what mattered most. Our journey will begin where His public ministry began, grounded in identity, love, and blessing from the Father. That secure foundation shaped everything Jesus did, and it’s the same foundation we desperately need today. I hope you’ll join us as we take the first step in Walking With Jesus .

Don’t Just Go to Church — Be the Church + Sunday Morning Resources

By TCC • August 29, 2025

It’s so easy to think of church as a place we go for 70 minutes on Sunday. But Jesus had something far bigger in mind. The church isn’t a building or a service; it’s people. WE are the church. We comprise this brand-new movement that Jesus came to start and it’s a movement that moves beyond a building and permeates every area in our community. When you step into your school, workplace, neighborhood, or family, you bring the presence of Jesus with you. This Sunday we’ll wrap up our Brand: New series by exploring what it means to live as the church everywhere we go and how each of us has a unique role to play in God’s mission.
