SUNDAY RECAP
If you missed this past Sunday, or want to listen to the sermon again, click the link below.
January 16, 2022 | Mark 12:18-27 | “Heaven is For Real”
Main point: Don’t be so earthly minded, that you fail to live for eternal good.
The Question
The Answer
Heaven is not more of the good of this life but a new life brought by the power of God.
Heaven is not an optional extra but the fulfillment of Scripture’s promise to the people of God.
“Of that good man let this high praise be given,
Heaven was in him before he was in heaven.”
TG KIDS RECAP
The heart of TGKids is to help children understand that the Bible is all about Jesus! And we would love for Sundays with TGKids to be an extension of learning about God everyday! To support parents in this most important of endeavors, each week we will provide the story, scripture, and main teaching points from the TGKids lesson so that they can talk to their kids about what they learned.
Bible Story: Jacob and Esau
Scripture: Genesis 25:19-34
Bible Truth: God Directs ALL Things from Babies to Birthrights
Where is Jesus: Romans 9:8–15
Have you been wondering why God told Rebekah that her older son would serve the younger? Here, in the book of Romans, God gives us the answer. God wanted to show that he controls everything. By choosing the meeker, younger son over the firstborn, stronger son, God was showing us that he didn’t need man’s strength to accomplish his plans. In the end, God wanted everyone to see that his people are saved by our faith in God alone, not because of when we were born or because of anything we do.
God does not save us because we are strong or because we were born first. We are saved by faith (trusting in God’s plan), and even our faith is a gift God gives to us. The most important part of God’s plan to save us was the death of his Son Jesus upon the cross, who died to take our sins away.
January Memory Verse: Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5

WHY COMMUNITY GROUP?
While gathering together to worship on Sunday mornings is a unique blessing, it is impossible to experience all that God has for us in the church without close friendship.
Community Groups are where many of these friendships form & shape us in Trinity Grace. If you have not already, we hope you will find the right group for you.
FIND THE RIGHT GROUP FOR YOU.
Our groups are meeting at various times around Athens. If you haven’t yet visited a group, or would like to see what it’s all about, click below to find out more:
Pritchett, Alexander, & Wilson—Wednesday, January 19 at 6pm
Luster—Friday, January 21 at 6pm
Finch—Sunday, January 23 at 1pm
Olsen—Sunday, January 23 at 5pm
We hope to see you at Community Group!
Could we ever get together as a church on another day in addition to Sunday? Could we find a time to feast on magnificent, homemade foods? And is there any other way we could put this giant screen to good use? And could we find another way to donate to the building fund while having a great time together? Some may say that an answer to all of these questions would be “inconceivable.” But not so with Trinity Grace. All we have to say is “As you wish!”
WHEN: This coming Saturday, January 22, at 6:30pm
WHAT: The movie, “The Princess Bride” and the enjoyment of homemade goodies
WHERE: The YMCA | 205 Knoxville Ave
WHY: All donations go to support the Building Fund
WHAT TO BRING: No charge for the movie, but we will have an array of food available for a donation. You can bring cash, check, or you can click the button below to give online.
BIBLE 101: FIGHTING FOR JOY WITH THE WORD
It’s been said that “Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.”
This past Sunday, we launched Trinity Grace College! These first sessions are on fighting for joy with the word: Sunday, January 16 - The What and Sunday, January 23 - The How. If you missed the first session, check out the button below and we hope you will still come and be encouraged by the second session!
WHEN: Sunday, January 23 from 9:15-10 am
WHERE: The YMCA - no childcare for these sessions
BRING: Your Bible and something to write with!
*NOTE ON CHILDCARE: We will not be able to provide childcare as a church for this time, BUT we would encourage you to be creative and ask some friends if they'd be willing to watch your kids for the morning. Or alternate with a spouse each Sunday so each of you can attend a session.
