The Bible we grew up with as kids often sanitized the real stories, but what if the truth was more intense, raw, and real? The truth is, just like our lives, the scriptures are rated R. This summer, we’re diving into the Bible’s unfiltered narratives — the gritty, complicated, and sometimes shocking accounts that reflect the world as it is. These are stories that may not be “family friendly”; but if we can lean in and understand them, they could shed light on the toughest challenges we face in our own lives.

This week, we’re kicking things off with a deep dive into the Doom Spiral — the destructive, endless cycle of hurt and confusion many of us get caught in and how God wants to get us out.

Last week, we saw how baptism marks the moment everything changes — our past no longer defines us, and we're invited into a relationship with Jesus that leads to trust and obedience.

This Sunday at 9:30 AM, we continue Peter’s story — the man who went from brokenness to boldness. We'll see how Jesus not only restored him but empowered him to believe big, act courageously, and help others meet the same life-changing Jesus.

It’s a message of hope, transformation, and purpose — and you don’t want to miss it. Bring a friend and join us as we step into what it means to be a changed people for a changing world.

Last week, we celebrated baptisms—moments that declared, “Jesus is Lord, and I’m His.” That kind of declaration? It changes everything.

But what happens next? What really changes?

This week, we look at Peter—passionate, impulsive, flawed, and deeply loved by Jesus. Peter denied even knowing Jesus at His darkest hour… and yet, Jesus didn’t leave him there. He found Peter, forgave him, and gave him a mission.

Because Jesus doesn’t just forgive our past—He redeems it.

He doesn’t just welcome us back—He recommissions us.

Just like Peter, we are invited to follow Jesus into a life of purpose, obedience, and trust. Even when it’s hard. Even when it costs us.

Your past isn’t your prison. Your present has a purpose.

This Changes Everything.

Do you remember wearing your first jersey? That rush of excitement, the sense of pride swelling in your chest as you realized you were part of something bigger than yourself. The colors, the logo, the name on the back — it all felt like more than just clothing. It was identity. It was belonging. You stood a little taller, your heart beat a little faster, and there was this buzz of anticipation — because this meant game day was coming, and you were no longer just a fan or a spectator. You were in it. On the team. Ready to give it everything.

Baptism should stir that feeling in us. When you're baptized, scripture says you are clothed in Christ. It's your jersey moment—a declaration that you're on His team, part of His family, and ready to live with purpose. It's not just a tradition or a symbol; it's a new beginning. This is a moment that should make your heart race—not out of nerves but out of joy and anticipation. It means you're not just watching from the sidelines anymore. You belong to Jesus, and your life ahead is full of meaning, mission, and hope. You're in the game.

The Greats step onto the field with one goal - to give everything they've got. Through sweat, sacrifice, and unrelenting effort, they push past pain and fatigue, driven by purpose and passion. Every sprint, every tackle, every moment is fueled by a desire to leave nothing in reserve. Win or lose, they know they held nothing back.

This week at BCC, we’ll see how God calls us to live with that kind of devotion. He doesn’t ask for perfection, but for everything. He gave His all for us — and now calls us to leave it all on the field for Him.

Want to run a marathon? You’ve got two options. You can train hard—wake up early, stick to a plan, push through discomfort, and build the strength and endurance you’ll need to go the distance. Or, you can wing it—jog a few times, hope for the best, and cross your fingers that sheer willpower gets you through. But come race day, the truth shows up: training matters.

The same is true in your spiritual life. If you want to grow, endure challenges, and live with purpose, you have to train for it. Being a fully committed follower doesn’t happen by accident. Join us at BCC this Sunday as we talk about how being In The Game comes from training hard.

You’ve tried, again and again. To change. To break the habit. To fix what’s broken.
But somehow, you always end up back in the same place. Maybe willpower isn’t enough — because the real problem isn’t out there. It’s you. It’s me.

But what if I told you there’s a power available to help you change — not just your behavior or situation, but your heart?

Join us at BCC as we explore the gift God promises to those who get in the game, a gift that can empower you to live the kind of life you’ve always truly wanted.

We’ve all seen them come out of the woodwork — when a team wins the championship, suddenly everyone’s repping the jersey. It’s easy to jump on the bandwagon when things are going well, but few stick around through the tough seasons.

The same is true for faith—it’s easy when life is smooth, but true followers show up and stand firm when life gets tough. This week, we’ll explore whether we’re fully committed followers or maybe just Fair Weather Fans.
