    You can tell from the text of my sermon today I am going to preach about the tongue.

But if you think this you are absolutely wrong!!! God as my witness as I stand in this pulpit before you and the God I love and serve…I AM ...read more

    Anointing for Ministry

    Anytime we read of Jesus, we need to be conscious of two main things. We ask what Jesus has done for us. And we ask what example he is for us. 1 Peter 2:21 says, ’to this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.’ Jesus has ...read more

    Final sermon in a series on the use and abuse of the tongue.

    As I prepared for today’s sermon, I must confess to you that the original title I had in mind was “Making God Mad.” I felt that this was a sermon that I felt I was especially qualified to preach given the fact that I was sure my behavior had frustrated my heavenly Father on many an occasion. But ...read more

    God still works in the society. He is the almighty God. He turns curses into blessings. He turned disaster into a prosperity and he turns the emptiness into full. He is powerful, intervenes on daily basis.

    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
