Learning from a Clever Woman – Abigail
The Call to Worship today from Romans 12:19 states, “Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave room for the wrath of God; for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord (which comes from Deuteronomy 32:35).” That is really a hard thing to do isn’t it? If…
Let Go of Small Living

We Are One
The last two Sundays we heard from Acts 9 how God kept pushing the first believers to step out in faith. Saul and Ananias, Tabitha and Peter – all were pushed by the Spirit of God to do things and pray with people in ways that stretched their faith and…
Stepping Out in Faith: Tabitha and Peter
Last Sunday I spoke about the story in Acts 9 of the conversion of Saul, better known as Paul, and the crucial role that Ananias played in praying with Saul and speaking God’s word to him. The Book of Acts describes how the movement bearing the name of Jesus spread…
When We Know Better than God – Ananias

For Thine is the Kingdom and Power and the Glory Forever
“As you know, we dealt with each one of you like a father with his children, urging and encouraging you and pleading that you lead a life worthy of God, who calls you into his own kingdom and glory.” During the past five weeks we’ve been examining the Lord’s Prayer.…
Deliver Us From Evil
Last Sunday was an unusual day because I was here at BBC for almost twelve straight hours so I was really looking forward to a good night’s sleep. I didn’t get it. At 2:55 am I woke up because our smoke detectors went off. Jill and I quickly got up…
Forgive Us Our Sins
As I’ve been working on this series on The Lord’s Prayer one of the things I’ve found very interesting is how closely related the Lord’s Prayer is to the Ten Commandments. Have you ever thought about that? Throughout the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew chapters 5-7, Jesus keeps referring…
Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread
Mother’s Day brings a complicated mix of emotions: for some of us it is a day of joy, gratitude, and happiness; for others it is a day that brings pangs of pain, regret or grief. It is a day when we rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those…
