A place of reflection and focus for Bellevue Community Church.
"The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise" (Psalm 51:17).

The Call to Community
"When God calls us to himself, he calls us to his church, to a purpose bigger than ourselves. This may sound shocking to some, but biblically, living for God means living for his church. There is a glory in the presence of Jesus Christ, seen when believers come together, that will necessarily be missing in an individual pursuit of God. When the gospel is turned from a community-centered faith to an individual-centered faith ('Jesus would have died for me if I had been the only one!'), we eclipse much of its power and meaning."
What did you think of this past weekends music? Did you think it was appropriate to have a student led worship? Do you think BCC is starting to move together in a positive direction?
I agree. Being promotion weekend for the kids and students, it was appropriate for the students to show their talents. I believe we have done that on promotion weekend in the past.
I'm the husband of Becky, the father of Macy and Grace, a writer of books, and the pastor of a great church. Most importantly, I am a follower of Jesus.
My passion is for the spread of gospel wakefulness in the evangelical church.

The views and opinions expressed here are my own and should not be construed as representing the corporate views of the church I pastor (especially when I'm wrong or when I'm being an idiot).
