Fellowship: Not An Institution

Contributed by Dr. Madana Kumar, Phd on Feb 26, 2018

Our tendency to institutionalize everything has crept into the church as well. With this the idea of limited liability has also crept into the Church. But Jesus' message is not of limited liability.

We are meditating on the topic of Fellowship this month. All of you know that we are called the Bangalore Bible Fellowship. How many of us know what we stand for, what BBF stands for?

The Worse Homecoming Ever

Contributed by Larry Turner on Oct 24, 2016

A church in decline. A pastor discouraged. A congregation wanting to party as if all were well. Not exactly a great recipe for me to get a sermon. But the Lord spoke to me and took some weight off my shoulders in this sermon.

Welcome to our 2nd Annual Homecoming Dinner. This is actually my sixth October as pastor and the church itself has existed for 14 years. The reason it is the second homecoming dinner is because we decided to start having one last year. This year 30 past and present members were invited. Eleven ...read more

A Rich And Satisfying Life Series

Contributed by Larry Turner on Jul 7, 2012

Jesus said his purpose was to give us "a rich and satisfying life." But sometimes it seems our life is a lot less than satisfying. Did we miss something in what He said?

Last week we talked about our dependence on God as He is the One with our future in his hands. We made a Declaration of Dependence on him that read; “We hold this truth to be self-evident, that all men are created equal in sin, that through grace, they have been endowed by ...read more

No Cowards In Heaven Series

Contributed by Winson Butler on Jan 4, 2006

A few sweet words and a little bit of kindness can coax the hottest iron out of a fire. So it is with gratitude. Let’s examine this truth together in Lukes story of the ten lepers!

Introduction I read recently of the story of the man who was betrayed by one he thought was his best friend. He went to him and asked, "How could you do this to me? Who picked you up out of the gutter? Who gave you your first job? Who lent you money and bailed you out of jail!" His reply was, ...read more

Compares the actions of the disciples during the passion of Christ with their actions after the Resurrection.
