New Look & New Site

Our new Team Church website has been up and running since January. Each month we are able to add new aspects to the website to better serve YOU! One of these new aspects is the ability for new BLOGS by a few staff members. Our Student Ministry and Kids ministry each have their own BLOG to help keep YOU updated and informed. Rick Faulkner, our Executive Pastor, will be using a BLOG format to keep you posted on the "Business" side of the church and I too have a new site. It is just Kennyhibbard.com Tag that site and replace the old one so that it comes up automatically. (my other site had the word blog in it and was not linked to our website.)

Have you been to our website and clicked around? You should go and see all the cool stuff. The site is not full of stuff that is useless information that is hard to find. KC Clark did a great job in designing the site to be easy to navigate and only have needed info on it. Moreover, you can use it to peak someones interest in Team Church by having them go and learn about the different ministries we offer, or our 10 for 10 anniversary project that is impacting our city in ways that is shocking people in this economy!

Maybe you need to keep up with what is happening at our new campus in Lancaster Co. The website is something you should save as your computers home page and make sure you keep up! Things at Team Church happen fast and this is a great way to stay involved and current with what is going on.

Who are you inviting to Easter? It is going to be great as we celebrate Easter and launch our new series.


Luke 22:47-71

Jesus Is Betrayed and Arrested

47 But even as Jesus said this, a crowd approached, led by Judas, one of the twelve disciples. Judas walked over to Jesus to greet him with a kiss. 48 But Jesus said, “Judas, would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?”

49 When the other disciples saw what was about to happen, they exclaimed, “Lord, should we fight? We brought the swords!” 50 And one of them struck at the high priest’s slave, slashing off his right ear.

51 But Jesus said, “No more of this.” And he touched the man’s ear and healed him.

52 Then Jesus spoke to the leading priests, the captains of the Temple guard, and the elders who had come for him. “Am I some dangerous revolutionary,” he asked, “that you come with swords and clubs to arrest me? 53 Why didn’t you arrest me in the Temple? I was there every day. But this is your moment, the time when the power of darkness reigns.”

Peter Denies Jesus

54 So they arrested him and led him to the high priest’s home. And Peter followed at a distance. 55 The guards lit a fire in the middle of the courtyard and sat around it, and Peter joined them there. 56 A servant girl noticed him in the firelight and began staring at him. Finally she said, “This man was one of Jesus’ followers!”

57 But Peter denied it. “Woman,” he said, “I don’t even know him!”

58 After a while someone else looked at him and said, “You must be one of them!”

“No, man, I’m not!” Peter retorted.

59 About an hour later someone else insisted, “This must be one of them, because he is a Galilean, too.”

60 But Peter said, “Man, I don’t know what you are talking about.” And immediately, while he was still speaking, the rooster crowed.

61 At that moment the Lord turned and looked at Peter. Suddenly, the Lord’s words flashed through Peter’s mind: “Before the rooster crows tomorrow morning, you will deny three times that you even know me.” 62 And Peter left the courtyard, weeping bitterly.

63 The guards in charge of Jesus began mocking and beating him. 64 They blindfolded him and said, “Prophesy to us! Who hit you that time?” 65 And they hurled all sorts of terrible insults at him.

Jesus before the Council

66 At daybreak all the elders of the people assembled, including the leading priests and the teachers of religious law. Jesus was led before this high council,[a] 67 and they said, “Tell us, are you the Messiah?”

But he replied, “If I tell you, you won’t believe me. 68 And if I ask you a question, you won’t answer. 69 But from now on the Son of Man will be seated in the place of power at God’s right hand.”

70 They all shouted, “So, are you claiming to be the Son of God?”

And he replied, “You say that I am.”

71 “Why do we need other witnesses?” they said. “We ourselves heard him say it.”
