As we near the end of our series in Luke, Pastor Brady spoke on the Passover holiday and its meaning. God sent His perfect, first born Son to pay the debt that we would never be able to pay.

As we continue through Luke, Pastor Jim spoke on the good and bad that we can do as humans. The key thing in our relationship with God is that no amount of good or avoiding bad will save us or keep us from hell.

As we gathered this past Sunday on Palm Sunday, Pastor Randy spoke on the cost that it takes for following Jesus. We know in life that everything has a cost and following Jesus is no different.

In the end, standing face to face with Jesus makes all of the sacrifices worth it, but are you willing to make the choice today?Check out past sermons at bccok.com/sermons.Help us further our mission at bccok.com/give.
This past Sunday, Pastor Steve spoke on being comfortable in our walk with Christ.

As we continue through Luke, Pastor James spoke on the 'stuff' that we can have.

This past Sunday, Pastor Steve spoke on the importance of prayer and the reasons why we need it in our life.

This past Sunday, Pastor Brady spoke on the kingdom work that we are called to do. There can be various reasons why we might not pursue the work, whether it's because we don't feel a sense of direction or feel equipped or called, but ultimately the work is urgent.

As we continue through the book of Luke, Pastor James spoke this past Sunday on being aware of what we hear and how we perceive it.

We must remember to have an open heart to hear what God has to say to us.Check out past sermons at bccok.com/sermons.Help us further our mission at bccok.com/give.
This past Sunday Pastor Steve spoke on the needs that we can face throughout our lives. Ultimately, God desires our love and wants to us to rely on Him.

This past Sunday, Pastor Randy talked about the passage in Luke 6. As a Christian, the "rules" that we must follow were given to us for a reason, but our value is not found in how well we are able to follow the rules.
