Missions: What Was, What is, and What is to Come
Pastor Josue, Narissa, and Norma discuss the recent mission trip to El Salvador. They talk about what missions look like for BDCC right now and for the future.
Peacemakers Over Partisans
Here, we look at what it means to be peacemakers in today’s politically charged environment. Instead of getting sucked into partisan battles, we’re called to bridge divides and bring peace. Jesus didn’t call us to be partisans—He called us to be peacemakers. So, how do we live this out when everything around us screams division? We’ll focus on how we can reflect the unity Jesus prayed for, even when we disagree politically.
Kingdom Values Over Political Agendas
This week is about aligning our priorities with the Kingdom of God, not the agendas of political parties. We’ll explore what it means to seek first the Kingdom, and how that shapes the way we engage with politics. Kingdom values—like justice, mercy, and humility—should guide our decisions, not party platforms. We’ll talk about what happens when Kingdom values clash with political agendas and how to respond as followers of Jesus.
King Jesus Over All
This message will dive into Jesus as the Lion of Judah, the one true King who reigns over everything—yes, even politics. We’ll explore the problem of political idolatry and how easy it is to slip into worshipping political leaders or parties instead of Jesus. Our loyalty belongs to the Lion, not the elephant or the donkey.
Praise in the Pain
In the final sermon of the series, we explore how lament can lead to a stronger, more resilient faith. Habakkuk’s journey from doubt to trust provides a powerful example of how we can praise God even in our pain. We’ll offer practical ways to navigate through dark times, emphasizing that God is always present and worthy of our trust, even when He feels distant.
Still on the Throne
This message challenges us to confront the reality that God’s plans often differ from our expectations. Through Habakkuk’s story, we learn the value of patience and the importance of trusting God’s timing. Our disappointments can deepen our faith when we rely on His sovereign and loving purposes, even in difficult seasons.
Faith in the Fog
Here, we tackle the tough question of why injustice seems to go unchecked in the world. Habakkuk’s cry for justice mirrors our own concerns about the wrongs we see around us. This sermon helps us find reassurance in the fact that God sees everything and has a plan to address it all. We are encouraged to trust in God’s justice, even when it doesn’t come as quickly as we’d like.
Seeing Beyond the Now
This sermon takes us into the heart of the struggle of waiting on God. Habakkuk’s frustration with God’s timing resonates with our own experiences of feeling like God is slow to act. We’ll explore why God’s responses can seem delayed and gain a deeper understanding of how to trust His perfect timing, even when it challenges our patience.
Making the Most of the Meantime
In this opening sermon, we address the difficult reality of feeling like God is silent during our struggles. By looking at Habakkuk’s honest questions and doubts, we learn how to express our own frustrations to God without losing our faith. We’ll discover that God’s silence doesn’t mean He’s absent and that there is meaning to be found even in the quiet, lonely seasons.
The Law of Sowing and Reaping
In this message, we’ll explore the principle of sowing and reaping and how it applies to our spiritual lives. We’ll discover how to sow good seeds of love, kindness, and generosity, and how they will reap a harvest of blessing in due time. Through Galatians 6:7-10, we’ll learn how to live a life of sowing good seeds and reaping the blessings of God.
From Striving to Striding
In this message, we’ll explore what it means to walk in the Spirit and how it sets us free from the desires of the flesh. We’ll discover the power and freedom that come from living a Spirit-led life. Through Galatians 5:16-25, we’ll learn how to cultivate the fruit of the Spirit in our lives and experience true transformation.
Clothed with Christ
In this sermon, we will focus on the importance of community and support in healing from church hurt. We will examine how being vulnerable and seeking support can lead to a deeper sense of community and healing. We will also discuss practical ways to find support and connect with others in our church community.
