Rethink Leadership on Sunday

Experience Missions 2012 is right around the corner.  March 4-11 will be an electric two weeks as we travel the globe celebrating the great things God is doing.  Many of our missionaries will be with us.  We conclude with our annual missions banquet Sunday night, March 11.  Jesus said, “Go into all the world and make disciples.”  This is our command and we embrace it with conviction.  Plan now to be a part of each session.

This Sunday we conclude our study on the life of Joseph I’ve entitled,...

Rethink Courage

This Sunday we Rethink Courage as we continue our study of Joseph’s life.  Last week was a special message on rethinking resentment.  If you were not in attendance be sure to catch the podcast. 3 very special life stories were shared that provide encouragement for us all to beat resentment through forgiveness.  Membership Class is also this Sunday after 2nd service.  We would love to have you join us.  Youth camp is just around the corner and I want to encourage all parents to make sure your...

Rethink Relationships Coming this Sunday

Rethinking Manhood

Hey BCA!  Very glad to be on this winning team with you and am excited about this Sunday—Super Bowl Sunday.  I’m rooting for the Seahawks, how about you?!! (So I’m dreaming a bit).

Super Bowl Sunday is also commitment Sunday at BCA.  This is the day we have been looking forward to for some time now as the day we make our commitments for Phase 5 of our Believing, Building, and Belonging expansion campaign.  Our new chapel, new classrooms, and new restrooms will be a huge blessing in furthering...

Rethinking Life Teaching Series Continues

Our Rethinking Life teaching series continues this Sunday as we study what Joseph teaches us about money.  Only 30 years of age, Joseph rose to the number two position in all of Egypt and led them through economic crisis.  I wish he were around today to run our country.  We need help!  Financial chaos is one of the major problems facing people today.  This Sunday I will introduce you to what I call The Joseph Principles:  7 Money Principles You Can Live By.  They are powerful and time tested;...

Jesus Principles

Don’t miss this Sunday and week 2 of our new teaching series entitled Rethinking Life.  Keep reading Genesis 37-50 as we study the life of Joseph and strive to mirror the “Jesus Principles” he exemplified.  And that’s not all, I’m also looking forward to sharing more exciting news about our new chapel and new classrooms expansion project!  See you Sunday!

December Happenings

December is flying by and what a month it has already been.  Our annual Christmas at Bethany concerts were jammed with capacity crowds and over $13,500 was raised to feed the homeless in our community.  A huge thank you to our music team for leading the charge and for our incredible army of volunteers who served in a wide variety of ways.  This coming Saturday our Compassion team gathers to assemble and distribute 110 generous food baskets to families in need.  This is a huge undertaking and I...

James 4:7-10 gives us God’s 3-part plan for victory:  Fight Satan!  Love Jesus!  Hate Sin!

James 4:7-10 gives us God’s 3-part plan for victory:  Fight Satan (resist and he will flee)!  Love Jesus (come near to Him and He will come near to you)!  Hate sin (grieve, mourn, wail-in other words don’t take sin casually-it is serious stuff and destructive of our life and relationships)!  This Sunday we conclude our teaching series entitled Take Your Stand.  We can overcome the attacks of Satan, win against temptation, and live a successful Christian life.  Don’t miss this Sunday as we...

What a Great Performance!

I loved watching our SHOUT! kids’ concert Sunday afternoon. Our kids were so excited to sing about Jesus and do a good job for mom and dad and all their family and friends in attendance.  There were incredible! As I enjoyed the concert, I was reminded of the Scripture where Jesus encourages us to come to God as little children.  Honest, humble, trusting, vulnerable, believing, loving, and free from conflicted motivation.  We are to simply reach out to Christ with an innocent and pure heart...
