episode How to Approach Jesus - Mark 7 cover

Description

There's an entire industry in America dedicated to influencing powerful people. Lobbyists know the right time, the right gift, the right approach. So how do you approach the most powerful person in the universe? In Mark 7, a Gentile woman with a demon-possessed daughter does everything ""wrong""—wrong ethnicity, wrong gender, wrong timing, wrong credentials. Jesus calls her a dog. And her response becomes one of the most remarkable moments in the entire Gospel. This sermon is about how she got it when the disciples didn't, and what her humble, hopeful, unshakable faith teaches us about coming to Jesus with empty hands and a desperate heart.It's also Pentecost Sunday at BBCC—the day we celebrate the gospel going out to the nations, which is exactly where this story is pointing. Join us at 9:00am or 10:30am in Boynton Beach, FL, with coffee and bagels before and after.

Run to the One Who Holds - Psalm 46 - for everybody carrying too much

You were never meant to be the one holding everything together. Psalm 46 was written by a family that watched their own world literally cave in, and somehow they became the people who taught everyone else how to sing.In this message, Pastor Samuel Sutter walks through Psalm 46, the ancient worship song behind Martin Luther's "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God," and shows why its most quoted line, "Be still and know that I am God," is not a call to relax but a call to surrender. If you are worn out from being the strong one, the fixer, the refuge everybody else runs to, this one is for you. We follow the story of the sons of Korah from collapse to worship, all the way to the cross, where Jesus walks straight into the thing we fear most and comes out the other side alive. You do not have to be unshakable. You are invited to run to the One who is.📖 Scripture in this message:Psalm 46 (main text)Numbers 16 and 26:11 (the sons of Korah)Exodus 14 (the Red Sea at daybreak)John 2:19 (Jesus as the true temple)Matthew 27:51 (the earth shakes at the cross)🙏 New here or looking for a church home in Boynton Beach?

Where to Find God's Glory

Most of us have felt it—the ache that there has to be more to life than the daily routine. We look for it in adventure, romance, career, retreats, nostalgia, new experiences. We chase the mountaintop. In Mark 9, Peter, James, and John actually get one: Jesus transfigured before their eyes, his clothes brighter than anything on earth, Moses and Elijah standing beside him, the voice of the Father thundering from the cloud. Peter wants to stay there forever. This sermon is about what Peter saw, why Jesus wouldn't let him camp there, and where you and I can go today to see the glory our hearts are really looking for—spoiler: it's closer than you think, and it's in a book most of us leave on a shelf.This Sunday is Communion Sunday at BBCC. Come to the table where we remember that the glory of God was revealed most fully not on the bright mountain, but on the dark hill of the cross. Join us at 9:00am or 10:30am in Boynton Beach, FL, with coffee and bagels before and after.

What Messes People Up? Mark 7 - You can't raise a heart. Only Jesus can change one.

Why do some kids grow up godly and others grow up greedy—even when they're raised in the same home? Why do well-raised kids sometimes go off the rails, and poorly-raised kids sometimes turn out remarkable? In Mark 7, the Pharisees ask Jesus a ""good parent"" question about tradition and training, and Jesus gives a shocking answer: the problem isn't outside of us. It's inside. No tradition, no policy, no rulebook, no amount of sheltering can change a human heart. Only Jesus can. This sermon is about why the best parenting, teaching, and discipling in the world still isn't enough—and why that's actually the best news you could hear.This Sunday is Moving up week Sunday at BBCC, where we celebrate our students and the families, teachers, and leaders who have poured into them.
