Praying for Miracles

Perry Noble was awesome this weekend and I really am stoked about what Jesus does next.  So what's your miracle prayer?  On the One Prayer blog site people all around the world are praying for miracles, and I want in on the action. How about you?

Here's some of the cool points from Perry's Message:

1) Sometimes I need someone to point out the obvious.
2) We need to have anticipation and not frustration.
3) "I like big biscuits and I can not lie..."
4) What did the dead guy say when he sat up.... hummm?
5) To be a dangerous church dangerous people have to walk through the door.
6) What is Jesus going to do next?

My miracle prayer is this; that we would reach or exceed our goal of 208 people in 2008 that decide to follow Christ here at BCC.  That is one audacious goal!

Lost - Series

Wow, has this series been fun.  From the awesome stage design to the cool music and videos and then throw in there becoming a new fan of the show it's been a blast.  We started the series with Lost & Angry on Easter Sunday with a crowd of 315 people in two services and since that time the services just keep getting better.  I am hearing from our regular attendees and our new folks that they hate that there is only one more message in the series.  Almost if their wanting an encore.  I think that were going to hold onto the stuff and bring it back out again for the next season debut.  I have really been having fun making some of the videos we've been using and I'm going to put some on YouTube and load-em up here on my blog so people can check-em out.  Let me know what you guys think about the series and how has it been affecting you.

"Live together or die alone"... Jack Shepherd, Lost Series.

The Language of Lust

Week #2 of our latest series PureSex and the introduction of "holistic" relationships verse "one-dimensional" relationships. Man... for so many years I had lived trying to figure out how to lessen my desires not realizing that it's impossible to do that. What God is looking for is "rightly ordered" sex lives and desires.

Got an email for one of our regular attenders today who wrote this:

"As I listened about seeing the whole person and not just body parts, I thought "What if I had learned it at 12 or 16 or at least before I was married (22)?." Would it have helped in my battle with lust and porn that nearly destroyed me and my marriage? I remember being taught "Don't Lust", but never the subsitute."

The truth about lust. When I give in to lust it handicaps my ability to have truely loving relationships. my desire is to really love my wife, all of her. I want to discover what's deep inside of her. Take some time to see the beauty of her intelect, to share her feelings, her hopes and dreams for the future, our future together.

Yeah I know... I'm a hopeless romantic... I can't help it. The truth is that there are a lot of guys like me they're just not sure if it's safe to express it or they're not really sure how. Some men just don't feel like they can take a risk and be vulnerable. ...Sorry, preaching next week's message already.

Need some help getting to a place of freedom in your sex life? You need to check out the Saturday mens Turning Point group. They meet at 8:00am at the church.

Until the next post,
See ya
