At a time of year where we feel we "should " feel joyful, the extra stress and responsibilities of the holidays, loss of loved ones and more, can cause this to be a real struggle. Add to this the challenges we've faced in the last 2 years with COVID-19, and joy can be hard to find. At the BCC Women's Christmas Brunch, Ammie shared her own experiences in a way that allowed many to relate to her journey. She reminded us where our true joy comes from. Ammie provided encouragement and reminders from scripture that allowed the ladies attending to leave the event feeling lighter and...

How many times have you started a sentence, “I’m afraid…?” You can end that sentence with anything – “there won’t be enough money,” “that I’m going to get sick,” “of what’s happening,” “that he/she doesn’t love me anymore,” “that I’ll never measure up.” Those words “I’m afraid” sneak their way into our conversations, and before we know it, fear becomes a part of our life. It dictates our decisions, stops us from fully believing who we are in Christ, and derails...

The church is as the Old Testament character of Samson. Dramatically called to be on-guard and powerfully equipped for special work. So, what are we doing napping on Delilah’s voluptuous lap? Your Delilah might be illicit sex, screen-addiction, anxiety, over-eating, drugs and alcohol, religiosity, or a long list of other modern-day idols. They speak to a heart disorder that hamstrings our calling and keeps us ineffective and unfruitful for God's kingdom. The Father has a dramatic plan to deliver you or your loved. Read how in this page-turner and get up off that murderous lap!...

The result of the mass genocide in Cambodia, (1975- 1979) was the loss of one-fourth of the Cambodian population. That’s more than two million people who died under the tyranny of the Khmer Rouge in the 1970s, before a Vietnamese invasion forced the hideous regime to give up control of the central government in 1979. Remarkably, some people survived this horrific oppression and have lived to tell their stories of how they managed to do so, despite almost impossible odds. One of those people is Sara Im. Sara shares the remarkable challenges she faced and how she found her way to freedom...
