Volume 27 Number 6 February 11, 2014 4815 Six Forks Road, Raleigh, NC 27609 tel: 919-787-3740 fax: 919-787-4884 www.tbcraleigh.com Following Jesus... Dr. Jeff Roberts, Senior Pastor jroberts@tbcraleigh.com Twitter: @Jeff Roberts Christ is risen! He is risen indeed, is the traditional greeting on Easter morning by Christians who gather for worship on this most holy of days. As much as this greeting makes Easter a special day of worship, it is somewhat sad that we do not greet each other every Sunday with this proclamation. The early church chose to gather on Sunday for worship to remember Jesus resurrection on a weekly basis. In this way, every Sunday is resurrection day. This speaks to the importance of the resurrection in the Christian faith. It is the resurrection of Jesus that changes everything in our world. It changes our view of the past, present and future. It changes our past because a resurrected Jesus speaks to a transformed past. How things once were are no more. Death, Sin and the Grave, the certainties of the living loose their power over the person who has placed their faith in the resurrected Jesus. We discover that the way things use to be, or the way we thought life had to be is transformed in the resurrection. Our present is transformed in the resurrection of Jesus. N.T. Wright reminds us in Surprised by Hope: The point of the resurrection is that the present bodily life is not valueless just because it will die What you do with your body in the present matters because God has a great future in store for it What you do in the present by painting, preaching, singing, sewing, praying, teaching, building hospitals, digging wells, campaigning for justice, writing poems, caring for the needy, loving your neighbor as yourself will last into God s future. These activities are not simply ways of making the present life a little less beastly, a little more bearable, until the day when we leave it behind altogether (as the hymn so mistakenly puts it ). They are part of what we may call building for God s kingdom. The resurrection of Jesus changes how we consider our lives in this present moment. The resurrection changes our view of the future. Because Jesus has been raised we too have the hope of resurrection. The Apostle Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 15:16-19: For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised; and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If we have hoped in Christ in this life only, we are of all men most to be pitied. continued

Following Jesus... continued These past weeks we have been considering some basic affirmations of our faith. We affirm that God is, God created all things, God is Love and Jesus is God. This week I want you to consider what makes the Christian faith an astounding proclamation and that is the resurrection of Jesus. Timothy Keller writes in the Reason of Faith in an Age of Skepticism: If Jesus rose from the dead, then you have to accept all that he said; if he didn t rise from the dead, then why worry about any of what he said? The issue on which everything hangs is not whether or not you like his teaching but whether or not he rose from the dead. We serve a living Christ. This changes our past, present and future. This week remember Christ has risen. He has risen indeed. Divorce Care Sundays from 5:00-7:00pm Rm A306 Divorce Care is offered on Sunday evenings for adults working through a divorce.

www.lifehonestly.com Rev. Andy Jung, ajung@tbcraleigh.com s Rev. Lydia Tatum, ltatum@tbcraleigh.com Words from Lydia In middle school missions on Sunday nights, we have been learning about home missions and missions on every continent on earth (except Antarctica). Our students have had the opportunity to learn about different cultures, to discover some of the very different ways to use their gifts in service to God, and to study our scriptural calling to be followers on mission for Christ. Within the student ministry here at Trinity, our students have opportunities to serve in hands on missions throughout the year; and if you take a look at our announcements just on this page this week, you will see some of our many upcoming opportunities to serve. Hopefully, the message we are sending is that Christian missions is important. But, is that the message you send at home? Be encouraged to think through a family mission statement together. What would you include? Would family missions make the cut?

If your child sees a missional lifestyle modeled at home, then it is more likely that he or she will grow a heart for serving God and His people.

Think about ministries where you can plug right in and serve ministries like those with whom we serve here at Trinity (North Raleigh Ministries, Wake Interfaith Hospitality Network, Love Wins Ministries, and the list could go on).

Rev. Karen Metcalf Eickhoff, kmetcalf@tbcraleigh.com Children s Day Now Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1 This Sunday our children stepped up to share their faith by reading, speaking or singing their love and devotion to God. AMAZING.

Carla Babb, cbabb@tbcraleigh.com Words from Carla A Christian parent s most important job is to build a solid spiritual foundation for their child. It begins at birth! The trust your baby has for you forms the basis of future relationships including a relationship with God. So be intentional in your child s spiritual development. Be a living example to them! Talk with them about God and Jesus. Children love to sing and for you to sing with them; (they do not care if you have a great singing voice) so share music with them. This is a wonderful way to teach about God. Read the Bible to and with them AND let them see you reading your Bible. Let them touch it, turn pages, and tell them the Bible is a special book. Pray OFTEN! Sometimes we use prayer the most in circumstances when we need or want something and forget to look around and thank God for the beautiful flowers, trees, sunrises, sunsets, and the gift of each new day. Be thankful, praise God daily, and pray without ceasing! When our children see our daily dependence on God and our love and thankfulness for His comfort, peace, and creation, they will learn to be thankful as well. Make church a priority in your family s life. It is not too late to start! Calling all Dads and Moms: I encourage you to take some time and sit down with your child. Play with them and let them show you how they play. Dads, you may have to join in with your daughter s tea party, rock a baby doll, dress up, and so on. Moms, you may have to dig in the dirt, play with Legos, drive trains, cars, etc. Whatever your child shows interest in, encourage them to let you participate in their activities. Make memories and build their self- esteem and confidence by showing your interest in who they are and what they do! Time goes by fast, so ENJOY each moment! Raising a child is a monumental task that requires a great deal of work, but be encouraged that you are not alone in this journey! The Lord is there before you start the day and He is there when the day is over!
