Joseph’s Dream
Ready or not here comes Christmas, just four days away. We’re not surprised by the timing of Christmas – it tends to arrive about the same time each year. Since we know when Christmas is coming at some point we begin cleaning, sending cards, making or buying gifts, baking cookies…
Mary’s Dream
The context for today’s scripture is a meeting between two expectant mothers. Elizabeth is getting on in years and has never been able to have a child. Mary is young and not yet married. Both pregnancies are unexpected and unplanned by the people involved. It’s amazing how news of the…
John The Baptist’s Dream
Unlike the other three gospels, in Matthew, John the Baptist bursts upon the scene without any preparation or warning. Whenever there’s a significant difference in how the gospels present a person, event, or story that gives us insight into that writer’s particular perspective or view. Matthew believes the action of…
Isaiah’s Dream
Today we begin the season of Advent, a season of marking the days as we remember the birth of Jesus and await the second coming of Christ. One of the words we associate most with Advent and Christmas is “peace.” “Peace on earth, good will toward men,” the angels say…
How to Be Thankful When You’re Not
With Thanksgiving coming this week, I’ve imagined myself being “one” with pastors all over the country who were doing the same thing I’ve been doing all week—praying that we can encourage our congregations and ourselves to grow bigger hearts of thankfulness beginning this Sunday.

When Life Gets Messy
Good morning to you. As many of you are aware, I am the new Executive Pastor at BBC. I started in late August and things are going well. I am enjoying the opportunity to be serving you and be on staff with such a great team. I really enjoyed getting…
Surprised By God
If you had to choose, would you say you’re a person who likes and enjoys surprises, or do you prefer to know what’s coming? Some people enjoy surprises and others don’t; sometimes it depends on the nature of the surprise whether it is positive and nice or upsetting and even…
Count Your Blessings
When you got up this morning, how lucky, blessed, or fortunate did you feel? Why do you think you feel the way you do? What are the reasons or circumstances behind your feeling lucky, blessed, or fortunate; or unlucky, cursed, or unfortunate? Each of us can probably come up with…
The Earth is the Lord’s
What has most shaped your view of the earth and all the creatures, life, and resources it contains? What people, experiences, teaching, and beliefs helped form the view you now hold? People have very different views from utilitarian: “What can I get out of it to benefit myself?” to a…
Trying Something New
One of the earliest Dr. Seuss books I remember hearing and reading is Green Eggs and Ham. Like so many Dr. Seuss stories the repetition of words and the fun drawings made it easy to learn and fun to listen to over and over. For those of you who don’t…
Staying Rooted in the Face of Challenges
Our message today comes from Tom and Terry Myers, who are Missionaries in Bulgaria. They help the Baptist Union of Bulgaria give holistic expression of the gospel. Tom works primarily in development and in job and small business creation, using these as a means to address the issues of poverty…
