    Contributed by Art Good on Aug 14, 2007
    based on 10 ratings
     | 6,600 views

    This backpack I am wearing has stones, rocks within it that weekly we are exposing, and laying them down, giving them to God. Well, today we are talking about the weight of trivial Pursuits, the weight of the pursuing meaningless things.

    Drop the Weight of Trivial Pursuits Over the past few weeks we have been talking about dropping the weight, dropping the weight of junk we are carrying that tire us out, wear us down, and cause all sorts of problems in our relationships with each other, and our relationship with God.

     | 11,975 views

    There’s some confusion around whether Christians should fast and why. In this message we look at why Christians should fast and why it’s so valuable.

    ILL: A few months ago my son got into an extension class that was working on making a clay movie animation. This completely captured his imagination to the extent that one day he came home with his lunch uneaten. Who needs food when you’re consumed with a project you love? Fasting is a topic that ...read more

    When people are trying to drive you apart, how do you stay together? When there are major differences between us, how do we stay united? Does it even matter?

    INTRODUCTION Which way should the toilet paper goes on the holder? Should the toilet seat stay up or down? How do you squeeze the toothpaste tub? (When I was growing up, toothpaste tubes were metal and this mattered!). When the kids don’t get what they want from Mum, what do that do? Go to ...read more

    How To Be Good Without Being A Hypocrite Series

    Contributed by Art Campbell on Aug 8, 2022
     | 2,238 views

    It seems that the more strongly we hold moral views the more we insist others hold them as well, and the harder it is to live by them, and we get into this cycle of bullying, hypocrisy and moral failure. So how can we be good without being a hypocrite?

    HYPOCRISY IN THE CHURCH When I was younger, the church pretty much had the corner on hypocrisy, at least as society told the story. People didn’t want to go to church because it was full of hypocrites. To which we sometimes replied, come on in then, we’ve room for more. And that’s not an unfair ...read more

    The work of the Spirit is evidence of the Gospel’s truth

    FAKE NEWS & KNOWING WHAT IS TRUE Earlier this year the Macquarie Dictionary declared ‘fake news’ to be the word of the year. It’s an interesting commentary on society! So is the runner-up – mainsplain (but I think that’s fake news). Sometimes fake news is deliberately deceptive, but the word is ...read more

    When we add to or distract from the Gospel, we rob God

    NOT A REAL CHRISTIAN Have you ever had someone tell you that you’re not really a Christian or not saved? Maybe because, they said, you don’t belong to the right church or you celebrate the wrong holidays or whatever.

    God's Prayer Agenda (Pt 1) Series

    Contributed by Art Campbell on Mar 14, 2022
     | 1,721 views

    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

    God's Prayer Agenda (Pt 2) Series

    Contributed by Art Campbell on Mar 14, 2022
     | 1,420 views

    The second part of the prayer moves from ‘You’ — God — to ‘us’ and our more earthly concerns.

    Last week we began looking at God’s agenda for prayer through the lens of the Lord’s Prayer. We saw that according to our recent survey a lot of us are struggling with prayer. Many of us don’t pray at all and quite a number only pray two or three times a week. I suggested that part of our ...read more

    This sermon was a part of a series titled, "Great Question" where we asked our congregation to text us questions they would like answers to through sermons. This particular sermon was my favorite of the series.

    Today we are continuing our sermon series we are calling, “That’s A Great Question.” By the way, if you have a great question we want you to share it with us. You can text your great question to ______. This past week I read this excerpt from an article on Preaching Today’s website: “Buried ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,754 views

    What a great description of the church! A weird mix of people of different generations, different personalities, different ethnic, economic, religious backgrounds, who might never hang out together— except for the fact that we all love Jesus!

    “Weirdest herd I’ve ever seen.” (Show clip from Ice Age 1 where the mammoth saves the saber tooth tiger, Diego. Afterwards Diego asks the mammoth why he risked his life to save him. The mammoth replies, "Because that's what you do when you are a part of a herd. To which the sloth says, ...read more

    Army Chaplain Edward Rogers, a Lutheran minister, served with the soldiers of the “Big Red One”, the First Infantry Division, in WWII. Like most chaplains, he saw a lot of troops come to him with complaints about the Army. Some chaplains hand out cards, “authorizing” 15 ...read more

    I find this very interesting because so many believe that if we are doing what God wants there should be no problems and everyone should be excited that you are doing the right thing

    “Opposed By The World” Nehemiah 4:1-6 5-21-2023 As we continue to look at prayers in the Bible; I was reading about a great uproar that happened because the Jews were following the Lord.
