    Hearing The Loneliness Of The Cross

    Contributed by Steven Chapman on Jun 22, 2015
     | 6,797 views

    This good Friday message speaks of the abandonment that Jesus expresses when God turns away from him. But it is loneliness that has meaning and purpose -- our salvation.

    Hearing The Loneliness Of The Cross Matthew 27:45-46 Usually, we have the cross posted at the top. Today, we have it right up front, some place that it can not be overlooked. On Tuesday, as the Worship Team prepared for rehearsal someone asked about the cross. It was said that it looks so much ...read more

    How Do We Run The Race When We Can’t Run?

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Dec 24, 2012
     | 5,715 views

    This talk was from early December 2012 as feedback from my Sabbatical. The question in my mind was, "How do we run the race when we can’t run?" I spent time talking to and reading books by people with various impairments. This is some of what I learned.

    For the purposes of this morning I’m going to assume that none of you knows about the illness that left me almost bed ridden for 7 months back in 2008. I’ve only met some of you recently and so that seems to be the best way to proceed. When I visited Kenya recently I said, “I have 1 wife and 3 ...read more

    Lessons From The Sheep Pen

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on Jan 14, 2014
     | 6,568 views

    The Bible compares us to sheep. We all tend to wander and need a Shepherd. As sheep in God's pasture, choose well who you listen to and follow. The Good Shepherd leads us faithfully, firmly, yet lovingly.

    Lessons from the Sheep Pen Intro: [Play youtube clip of crazy sheep sounds] -Yes, the Bible really does compare us to sheep. But as crazy as what you’ve just heard sounds, it is nothing compared to the craziness that comes from people, whether out of their mouths or out of their lives. 1. ...read more

    Separating The Wheat From The Weeds

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 8, 2015
     | 7,264 views

    While the forces of good and evil will be sorted out some day, there is still time for change until that day comes. It is a story about grace, patience and hope. Don’t we often look back on our own mistakes and become thankful that we had time to change?

    When I worked at a local lumber mill several years ago, part of my duties included grading lumber. By that I mean separating lumber according to its qualities as determined by both the National Lumber Grading Authority rules and common sense. In other words, I was separating good lumber from bad ...read more

    Together For The Glory Of God Series

    Contributed by Billy Ricks on Jun 3, 2013
     | 5,935 views

    Unity in the Body of Christ goes beyond fondness for the people of Christ. It is a supernatural work that results in surrendering our rights for the sake of others. Learn the essentials and the expressions of unity in this message.

    Intro: Tonto and the Lone Ranger were riding through a canyon together when all of a sudden both sides were filled with Indian warriors on horses, dressed for battle. The Lone Ranger turned to Tonto and asked, “What are we going to do?” Tonto replied, “What you mean ...read more

    The Desire For Approval

    Contributed by Robert Sickler on Jun 10, 2013

     | 5,453 views

    We must never let our desire for the approval of others become the major force is determining who we are or what we think.

    ILLUSTRATION As a very young child, one of my greatest fears was going to the hen house and gathering eggs. My grandmother had hundreds of chickens and she traded eggs at the local store for things like salt and pepper and fabric. Normally she was the one who gathered the eggs, but if I failed to ...read more

    The Passion According To The Centurion Series

    Contributed by David Cain on May 4, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,679 views

    A centurion recognised God on the cross. How did he see the events that led to his conclusion?

    The Passion by the Centurion Although today is Palm Sunday, this is one of the rare times when we hear a reading of the passion on a Sunday. As you will have heard, it is a long reading and one which I thought would stand best on its own. The events told in the reading are those which brought Jesus ...read more

    When we don't hear from God, when we don't "feel" God's presence....where has He gone?

    Psalm 143 1 LORD, hear my prayer, listen to my cry for mercy; in your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief. 2 Do not bring your servant into judgment, for no one living is righteous before you. 3 The enemy pursues me, he crushes me to the ground; he makes me dwell in the darkness like ...read more

    We are never really aware of the secret burdens that some people carry.

    2 Kings 6:24-30 KJV And it came to pass after this, that Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his host, and went up, and besieged Samaria.

    I would like to thank Pastor Rick Boyne for sharing this sermon from Acts. It has been a blessing as well as a great help, as I spend my days caring for my dying father.

    The Berean Church Shows Why I Need to Read My Bible Acts 17:10-12 A man was talking with a farmer about his soy bean and corn crops. Rain had been abundant, and the results were evident but the farmer’s next comment surprised him: "My crops are especially vulnerable. Even a short drought ...read more

    Adapted from a Timothy Quill Advent series.

    I began a sermon series last week by saying that no one likes waiting—especially not at the emergency room of a hospital. But another place we don’t like having to wait is at the airport. If you’re travelling alone and your flight has been delayed, it’s no fun having to wait ...read more

    To Judge Or Not To Judge - That Is The Question

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Feb 23, 2016
     | 6,032 views

    One of the most popular verse fragments recited by unbelievers or folks who claim to be believers but who are living in sin is, "Judge not, lest you be judged." Holy proof-texting! What does this teaching really mean to those who are called to be holy?

    Love, love, love. The world is infatuated with love! We who are called to be Christ's ambassadors need to be able to differentiate between what the world calls love and what the Bible describes as Christ-like love. Proper judgment is an integral part of Christ's love. What is love? (show video ...read more

    Holding On To Christmas

    Contributed by Jim Caswell on Dec 7, 2016
     | 4,051 views

    How are we as followers of Jesus to react to the "Christmas War" that is going on in our society? We find the answer in 1 Peter 3.8-16. We must be careful as followers of Christ to reveal His way not ours.

    Title: Holding On To Christmas Date: 12/11/16 Place: BLCC Text: 1 Peter 3.15 CT: Christmas is about revealing His way not ours.

    Love Without Limits

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Feb 19, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 15,463 views

    Jesus challenges the common wisdom of his day, stating God doesn't want us to "love our neighbor and hate our enemy" but to love everyone, including our enemies. This is impossible without the love of God flowing through us.

    Matthew 5:43-48 Love without Limits Did you know your body is not designed to carry anger for very long? Now don’t get me wrong: anger is a helpful emotion. It tells you something is terribly wrong. But God designed your body to resolve anger as quickly as possible and to move on. Resentment and ...read more
