We had a wonderful day of worship this Lord's Day at BBC! Our Christian Education Dept. is in charge of Early Morning Prayer Meeting this month. The topic of today was compassion. The Spirit of God really moved in the place as the people poured out their hearts to God asking Him to place it in their hearts to be more compassionate toward their fellow man. The desire of the prayer meeting was that we would be as compassionate with others as God is with us! Through this ministry of prayer I am watching the Saints at BBC mature right in front of me! God be praised!
Worship started off with a bang as we baptized 5 new converts into the family of God! Our choir was really on point today and everything flowed just perfect. I normally don't list the songs they sing but I really want to share as much of my worship experience with you as possible. Our choir opened up with, "God is an awesome God", followed by "My worship is for real"! This really charged the atmosphere as the Saints went up in Praise and Thanksgiving to our God. After altar prayer, the choir continued with "Because of who you are" and "Calvary". Praise God for a music director that is in tune with the Spirit of God and can move as God is moving!
This set the atmosphere for preaching! I was really excited about beginning this new preaching series. The series is called "No More Drama". The first message was from 1 Thessalonians 4:11, which says, "And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you." The message was entitled, "Drama Free Living". Here's the basic outline:
1. Manage your behavior (Study to be quiet)
2. Mind your business (Do your own business)
3. Move your body (Work with your own hands)
God blessed the exposition of this passage! I was not expecting a celebratory response from preaching like this, but I received some very favorable feedback from this message! Several members came up to me and said that this is exactly what they needed. God be praised!
I believe that God was pleased with our offering of corporate worship on today! Pray for us this week as we continuously endeavor to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bonds of peace! God Bless!
I also wanted to let my blogging family know that you can catch a glimpse of a worship experience at BBC via youtube! Have a great week and see you on Wednesday!

It's always encouraging to read how God is moving in and throughout your church ministry. I praise God for the five who identified themselves with Christ through baptism, Amen. The sermon series sounds delicious.
Wow,

I am syre your church feels like me that we have been waiting on this series and certainly your kick-off did not disappoint. I pray that BBC realizes what an excellent pastor/teacher they have who through every sermon reaches out to connect with his members.
Keep running,

Brother,
Once again your passion for preaching and pastoring is clearly evident. You are an inspiration to me personally. Thanks for sharing your ministry with us.
P.S. I did check you out on Youtube. Awesome!!!!!
Praise God for all His awesome works through the man of God. Stay the course.
All I want to know is, when is your media ministry gonna put that sermon on youtube? That kind of preaching needs to be broadcast so the rest of us can get what BBC got in real time.

I am sure God was pleased as well with BBC's corporate worship. I am always amazed of the gift and passion of bringing the preached word. I will look for you on YouTube. Be blessed.
