Abraham :: When Hell Takes Over
Have you ever struggled with faith or understanding God’s plan for your life? During these eight weeks we will be looking at a man named, Abraham. Abraham was known as a “Friend of God”, but he was very human as well. He faced the unknown of leaving his hometown, waiting on God, learned to walk by faith, and was asked to do the unthinkable. We can learn much about God and ourselves as we look at Abraham’s life! You will be encouraged that God sees you and loves you. Bring a friend to church!

TC Kids

ThornCreek Children’s Ministry strives to partner with families to raise children in the way of Jesus. It’s our goal for children to be transformed by the love of God, to grow in their walk with God, surrender their lives to God, and be a light in the world for others to know God in the same way.

Our curriculum takes the kids through the Bible in a year and they are invited into The Big God Story to experience it and discover who God is and how they fit into His plan!

We believe that parents have a huge impact on the faith of their children! Every Monday, parents are emailed a Family Bible Study that you can do throughout the week with your kids. We also have a repeating 6-week Spiritual Parenting small group that you can be a part of to learn more about raising your children to know God!

We have classes available each weekend for Infants through 5th grade.

All volunteers have passed background checks and we have security procedures in place to create a safe environment for your kids.

Worship Service Info

Did you come with kids? | The teaching time in our Worship Center is designed for adults (Middle School and older). Children, 5th grade and younger, will be much more comfortable in our TC Kids Ministry which is designed just for them! There, your child will engage in age-appropriate teaching, games, music and more. You can check your child in for a TC Kids Ministry classroom at the check-in table located in the Lobby. If needed, the Lobby becomes our Cry Room for parents with infants during service. If you have further questions, please stop by the TC Kids Ministry check-in table in the Lobby today.

Volume | If you find the music too loud, please visit the Welcome Table for ear plugs. Ear plugs are also available at the Worship Center doors.

Prayer Requests | Prayer requests can be submitted via https://thorncreek.church/prayer-request. The TC Prayer Team would love to pray for your requests during the week. There are also TC Prayer Team members available to pray with you after service at the front of the Worship Center.

Distractions | To allow you and those around you to be more fully engaged in today’s service, please refrain from leaving the Worship Center during service. Also, please turn off or mute all cell phones and other mobile devices. Please use the Lobby area for any necessary conversations.
God does something.... AMAZING!
This says a lot about the CHARACTER OF ABRAHAM.

The righteous minority can make a difference with God.
Awareness - Repentance - Forgiveness - Obedience - Blessing
HOMOSEXUALITY

"I fear the disapproval of God more than the disapproval of people."
The bible makes it clear, that homosexuality is a sin.
Our sexuality matters to God. God wants us to honor Him in every aspect of our being.
"Tolerance used to mean, we treat each other with mutual respect even if we have major disagreements. Today, tolerance has been changed to mean, all ideas are equally valid." - Rick Warren
The deception of sin is it won't affect you. You can live by it, and not be a part of it. You can practice it, and not be changed by it. You can control it, manage it, and keep it from affecting those closest to you. It's all a lie from the devil.
Sometimes God will pull you out of a situation, even when you hesitate to understand the impending danger. It's God's mercy when you don't know you need it.
QUESTION: If you disagree with God on an issue, would you still surrender to it?
