Awesome 80's Re-lived

Had a really awesome experience this weekend thanks to some cool friends.  We went to see Journey, Heart and Cheap trick at Walnut Creek Amphitheater.  Well now that brought me back to my teenage years.  I mean "I want you to want.... me" and "Barracuda"  and "Don't stop believing", WOW!!!!!  These grandpas can ROCK!!!!!  Here's the best pic I could get with my iPhone.

The third picture was the majority of what I saw, old people dancing like they were 30 years younger and 60 lbs lighter.  It really made me feel old.

Then there was the carnage of the lawn.  Check out this view we got when we were leaving.

Now that's a mess.  Might even find some panties or a bag of left over hooch?

Connection Time

Man this food looks good! We had our BCC Band connection meeting today at the home of Roy and Michelle Painter. It's really great to hang out with friends. I mean what can be better than hamburgers Rock Band and all the dessert you can eat? This is the life.

Dreams

OK. The saga continues. You've been great with your core values, now would you dare share the dreams in your heart. I believe as we follow God the dreams that He has placed deep in our hearts are the very reason we exist. God can be found in those dreams and when we step out He will become more and more real inside our hearts. Take some time to share with us your God given divine "Chazown".

Polar Express Sunday [12.24.06]

Wow! That's all i can say. A huge thanks to all of the different volunteers that made the finally of the REEL Christmas series really special. We had a tremendous Sunday with a total of 374 people attending 3 services. Everything from music, drama with our allstars kids team, to hot chocolate sponsered by Brickcity brew to a killer job of video segments put together by our media team; You Guys Rock!!!!

I was thrilled to be a part of it and had so many comments from people who were touched by service. God really used us to share the love of Christ this year, and many people took their next steps toward Christ, some even for the first time.

I would love to hear from anyone that may have a story to share about how they were touched in this service.

REEL Christmas [11.26.06]

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Is it just me or what. Man I am really getting into the Christmas Spirit. Thanksgiving was great, except for almost burning my house down. Of course I ate too much but who didn't?

This new series is going to be a great ending to a fantastic year here at BCC, and will be a great opportunity to invite those folks that you have been investing in. I can't reveal all of the special stuff that's going to happen throughout the series but the Polar Express Sunday will be an absolute treat.

We're going to have 3 services on the 24th and we want all of you to be thinking of 5 people you want to invite to that service. This is going to be the biggest event of the year and will definitely be a memorable time for all of us.

I can't wait!

Dirty Little Secret [11.19.06]

The PureSex series was awesome. It just got better each week. I cant wait to open up the conversation again, and I would love to be able to see the real impact that it had on all of our lives. Pastor Troy's message brought the series to a great close. The whole idea of dealing with our secret lives, the real you that know one else sees, and how we can bring these things to God and find total forgiveness. The truth that to God our lives have extreme value, that's the way He sees us. It doesn't matter what we have done in our past, Jesus paid the price for that and He freely gives the righteousness that He earned to those who believe and trust in Him. Now that's true love and forgiveness.

Weekend Recap [11.12.06]

WOW! What a weekend. I believe that this series has been one of the best series this year. JR. Mahon from XXXChurh.com was awesome. Breaking it down for us and dealing with the issue of Porn. I loved the way that he "leveled the playing field" for us on this issue. I guarantee there aren't many churches in this area that are willing to have the kind of conversations that we've been having with this series.

What I hope is that it has actually been helping you take your next step. God wants us to experience all of the life that He has for us but most times that requires our obedience. I know that there are people who have struggled in all of the areas that we have been addressing. It is my desire that you get the kind of support you need to take that step of obedience.

So what's been happening in your lives. Inquiring minds want to know.

Talk to me, tell me whatz-up!!

Weekend Recap [11.5.06]

What an awesome weekend. I really had a great time preaching (Well not really preaching) from a comfy chair. And to sit there with my beautiful wife and talk about love....whooooohoo!!!! So here's a recap of what we talked about.

1) Men need respect: For a man respect equals love. The same way ladies feel when they are receiving they love that they so desperately need. Respect is the key to your man's heart.

2) Men are insecure: The got-it-all-together exterior is just there to help protect them from the reality that they don't have it all together and if someone found out it would defeat them. It's protecting a vulnerability. Ladies if you're desiring your man to open up to you and share true inner feelings it will only happen when you begin to respect. When he sees that, he will not feel threatened that you are going to expose his weaknesses.

3) Men want more sex: In reality it's not the sex act itself that brings satisfaction to a man it's the desire that the woman has for him that fills his love tank. That desire boosts his confidence in every area of his life. To know that his woman desires him sexually will give him the confidence to defeat any giant in his life. It will also cause him to be more responsive to your needs for intimacy.

This is just three of the seven understandings that the book "For Women Only" discusses. We have started some women's groups that will go through the book in detail. Michelle and I believe that it will truly enhance your relationship, it sure has helped us.
