Easter stands as the most celebrated, controversial, and debated day in history. It marks the resurrection of Jesus Christ, a pivotal event that has shaped the course of time, religion, and culture for over two millennia. Its significance goes beyond tradition, resonating with millions around the world. Yet this Holy day has sparked intense discussion and controversy—over questions of faith, truth, God, and the nature of life itself. Some see it as the cornerstone of Christianity, while others debate its authenticity. Regardless of where you stand, Easter carries a weight that no other day in history can rival.

For many of us, Palm Sunday is about children's parades, waving branches, and a last reminder to buy that ham before Easter. It's a joyful week, with young ones marching down the aisles, holding palm fronds high - everyone singing 'Hosanna' as we remember Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem. The church community comes together, marking the start of Holy Week with excitement and anticipation, looking ahead to the resurrection of Christ. But what if the Palm Sunday Paraders, both then and now, don’t really understand what was happening at all? What if the triumphal entry wasn't what it seemed?

Join us at BCC this Sunday as we explore Jesus’ ride into town, discovering what was truly unfolding that day and what it means for us now.

“What do you want?”

From the sharp, impatient tone of a stranger on the street to the polite inquiry of a waiter at a restaurant, we’re constantly confronted with this simple yet powerful question. But how we respond—whether with irritation, excitement, or indifference—depends on who’s asking, and more importantly, why they’re asking.

Now, imagine if the God of the universe were asking you, “What do you want?”

How would you answer?

This week at BCC, you’re invited to consider your response to this question that Jesus asks while on the road to Jerusalem. Considering what you truly want can stir your soul and ignite your purpose. It’s about peeling back layers of superficial wants and connecting with what you truly need to live a life aligned with your God-given design. Together, let’s make sure we’re asking for the right thing, so when we get the answer, it’s one that truly fulfills.

"Are you kidding? We're not coming to that."

We get it—when you hear a sermon title like Seizures, Servants, and Asphyxiation: A Family Sunday, it's hard not to raise an eyebrow. But stick with us, because sometimes, the most shocking and powerful words from Jesus are the ones we need to hear most. And we’re going to explore them together as one BCC family.

This week, we'll dive into the real-life challenges that families face—physical, relational, and spiritual. From unexpected struggles of illness to the deep, messy dynamics of serving one another, Jesus' words can turn everything upside down in the best possible way. If we can truly understand these powerful teachings, they might just change our hearts and transforming our families. You won't want to miss this!

We commit to making this a fantastic Sunday to invite friends, neighbors, and family to join us! Whether they have been to church before or not, Family Sunday is a welcoming, joyful opportunity for guests of all ages to connect with our church family as children, parents, grandparents, and everyone in between will gather to lift up our voices and hearts in worship.

Ever set out on a road trip without a clear destination in mind? Or worse, have you ever thought you knew where you were going, only to end up at the wrong place entirely? When you’re traveling, knowing exactly where you’re headed gives you purpose and direction. Life is no different. Without that clarity, you’re bound to waste time, energy, and maybe even money, trying to figure it out along the way.

And if you’re like me, once your destination is set, the next essential step is packing your toiletry bag. It might seem like a small, routine task, but I’m not going anywhere without my toothbrush and a week’s supply of Q-Tips. Bringing the basics helps us be prepared for whatever the journey brings.

This Sunday at BCC, as we wrap up our Get Off 0 series, you’ll gain clarity on the destination of your life and receive the toiletry bag to get there.

In our journey to get unstuck in our relationships—with God, others, and ourselves—we revisit the Ten Commandments, focusing on the final one: "You shall not covet." (Exodus 20:17). Unlike other commands, God leaves no loopholes—coveting anything that belongs to someone else disrupts our hearts and lives.

While we don’t often use the word, covet, its reality is everywhere. We want, crave, long for what others have—whether it's relationships, possessions, or status. Culture fuels this with messages like "You deserve more!" and "Once you pop, you can't stop." But Christ calls us to contentment.

Contentment isn’t found in getting more, but in longing for the One who gives life.

You liar!

Nobody enjoys hearing that, but the truth is, we all lie. Whether small fibs or deeply ingrained dishonesty, lies infiltrate our lives in many ways. Some are obvious, while others are subtle distortions we don't even notice. From harmless exaggerations to self-protective lies that shield our egos or avoid accountability, deceit is woven into our daily interactions.

This week at BCC, we're exploring how lying shows up in relationships, work, and how we present ourselves. Often, the most dangerous lies are the ones we tell ourselves.

Join us as we explore biblical wisdom to uncover how lies distort our identity, destroy trust, and pull us from the life God desires for us. Together, we'll reflect on how to dismantle these lies and embrace the freedom found in truth.

Sometimes, I notice signs for neighborhood watch programs popping up around us, a reminder that we’re trying to ward off the thieves among us. Theft is a real problem that impacts our lives in many ways, from break-ins and identity theft to armed robberies. These acts can strip away not only our personal belongings but also our sense of security and trust. It’s a stark reminder that stealing can deeply affect our relationships and communities.

However, theft extends beyond credit card numbers or Ring camera alerts. It’s woven into the very fabric of our culture, appearing in unexpected places. From taking shortcuts at work to breaking trust with friends, these behaviors stem from the same cycles of scarcity and fear.

This week at BCC, we’ll explore how our mindset contributes to the presence of thieves among us, robbing us of much more than just money. Together, we’ll examine how scripture offers powerful insights to help us break free from these cycles. Join us as we learn to reclaim the life you’ve always wanted—one that has been stolen from you.
