Sunday, May 25th at Trinity
Hope you made it out to our Sunday teaching and worship time. There was a good spirit as we recognized the AWANA kids for scripture memory and made tribute to those who have died on the battle fields for our country. The text of the message was from II Timothy 4:1-7 and the title PREACH THE WORD. Hopefully at TBC we can stay true to the message that Paul was trying to emphasize to Timothy. May we preach the WORD in season and out, preach doctrine, preach to reprove, rebuke, exhort and with all longsuffering. These are pretty specific guidelines for the local church. God give us wisdom to meet these standards. Here is a link to find the text for King Harry's charge that I referred to today. http://www.chronique.com/Library/Knights/crispen.htm . You also can see it in its entirety at the link http://youtube.com/watch?v=OAvmLDkAgAM .

Hey Craig,
Hope all goes well on your trip. We enjoyed the sermon Sunday. Have you read the Holman Christian Standard Bible? It is one of the only translations which correctly translates "doulos" as "slave" in the NT.
Here is 2 Tim 4 from the HCSB: "Before God and Christ Jesus, who is going to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom, I solemnly charge you: 2 proclaim the message; persist in it whether convenient or not; rebuke, correct, and encourage with great patience and teaching. 3 For the time will come when they will not tolerate sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, will accumulate teachers for themselves because they have an itch to hear something new. 4 They will turn away from hearing the truth and will turn aside to myths. 5 But as for you, keep a clear head about everything, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry."
God bless,
Doug and Buffy
The translation definitely gave some further insight. thanks, Craig
