"Does Jesus care when my way is dark with a nameless dread and fear? As the daylight fades into deep night shades, does He care enough to be near? Oh yes, He cares, I know He cares; His heart is touched with my grief; when the days are weary, the long nights dreary, I know my Savior cares."

Welcome

We at the Tulare Missionary Baptist Church appreciate your interest in our church. We realize that our nation is literally awash with churches and other places of worship. We are a friendly group of Christians. However, friendliness alone should not be the criteria used to decide to visit a church. The members of this church seek to honor and serve the Lord Jesus Christ through understanding and obedience to His holy Word. If you are seeking an understanding of the Word of God so that you might better serve Him, you have come to the right place!

We would be delighted should you come to worship the Lord together with us. Again, thank you for stopping by!

Last Sunday we followed the apostle Paul as he journeyed to Rome. No, he was not going freely as he had hoped, but was going as a prisoner to stand before Caesar. The trip started without incident, however, soon a great storm arose and caused great fear and apprehension. The circumstances seemed so hopeless that even Luke and Paul lost all hope of survival. Paul lost hope even though the Lord had told Paul that he must go to Rome and preach the gospel!

So often in the lives of the children of God we lose sight of the promises of God when circumstances become unfavorable. In fact, we most frequently respond very similarly to those who do not believe in God. Rather than remembering the great and precious promises of the Lord, we begin to seek a way out of our circumstances.

Over and over, the Bible teaches us that we must walk by faith. Yet, walking by faith is scary. Indeed, it is scary, however, it is precisely during times of seeming impossible circumstances that faith in the power of God shines most brightly! The times of our greatest opportunity to reflect confidence in the power of God is when all human hope is gone!

Today, we will examine how we, as children of God, should confront the fears of this life. These are opportunities for us to "show forth the praises of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light."
