Jesus I'm Just Not Feeling It #1 Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Nov 25, 2019

If the Church has just become another obligation or routine, then listen up. If the church has stopped being a holy place, a place to worship the king, a time of encouragement and instead it has become just another ritual of an unfulfilling life. Then listen to this.

Today we begin a new series based on the book of Philippians call, “Jesus, I’m just not feeling it.” The line itself is the number one breakup line between couples. It is also very appropriate for those in the church because a recent study (Reveal- willowcreek) reports that as many as 25% of the ...read more

1. It's A Battle Out There! Series

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Dec 1, 2019

Don't be surprised if life feels like a battle some days, or even a lot of days. We have a powerful enemy in the devil and his tricks can be dangerous.

This morning we begin a new part of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. You could call it the grand climax. I love Ephesians because of the picture that it gives of the church. The church, blessed by God, united, holy, and now, finally, in Ephesians 6:10-17, the church militant. Please stand for ...read more

Why Yonah Ran (Jonah 4:1-11) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 24, 2022

Finally, we learn why Yonah ran from the Word of Yahweh, and first chose death over life. Should God give people a chance to repent? Is it wrong, for God to show mercy? And if God did the right thing, who will be Yonah?

Let's start today by simply rereading Jonah 3. We need to get sucked back into our story, and there's no easier way to do it, than to just read it (NRSV updated): 3 The word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time, saying, 2 “Get up, go to Nineveh, that great city, and proclaim to it the ...read more

"Peter, Feed My Sheep” (1of 21)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 11, 2022

Peter goes down in the history books for a number of things:

(1) He is known for his impulsiveness. It is always a good policy that, before we do something, we stop and think about what we are preparing to do. Why? Because the decisions we make come with consequences. But Peter is the kind of fellow that did things, and generally suffered the ...read more

God's Prayer Agenda (Pt 1) Series

Contributed by Art Campbell on Mar 14, 2022

When we understand God’s agenda for prayer our prayer life will be enriched.

In our recent Discipleship Survey it was exciting to see that a majority of us here at BBC pray at least once per week. Some of you are pretty spiritual - over 40% pray at least 4 days a week! But looking at this chart it also appears that a bunch of people still struggle with prayer. A quarter ...read more

Psalms Of The Sons Of Korah - Psalm 42 Part 1

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 15, 2022

The Korahites were the singers and composers in the Tabernacle and Temple. Their Psalms are a rich source of spiritual teaching. Psalm 42 is a Psalm of deep personal feelings where the psalmist has lost his joy and was in a rough patch.

He’s All Around Me 1 Of 3

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 25, 2022

A lot of folks think the Christian life is like the game children like to play, called “Hide and Seek”.

Even older teens sometimes enjoy playing this game. But in all fairness, sometimes they cheat when they play it. Illus: For example, did you hear about the teenage girl that said to her boy friend, “Let’s play Hide and Seek.” • He said, “How do you play it?” • She said “It is simple. I will ...read more

Things We Need For The New Year 1 Of 2

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 30, 2022

As we enter a New Year, we never know what things will be like during the next 365 days. Some go to fortunetellers at this time of the year hoping to find out what the future holds for them.

But God had a purpose in us not knowing everything. Illus: A man was wandering around a fairground and he happened to see a fortuneteller's tent. Thinking it would be good for a laugh, he went inside and sat down. "Ahh....." said the woman, as she gazed into her crystal ball. ...read more

The Perfect Law Of Freedom - James 1:23-25 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jul 17, 2021

The first half of this message is a crash course on how to interpret Scripture. The second half explains how God’s law increases the freedom in your life.

James 1:22 But be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 Because if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his own face in a mirror. 24 For he looks at himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 25 But the one ...read more
