Training To Win (SERIES: In The Game)

Bedford Community Church ·

2025/06/01

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....

Empowered Players (SERIES: In The Game)

Bedford Community Church ·

2025/05/25

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 al...

Fair Weather Fans (SERIES: In The Game)

Bedford Community Church ·

2025/05/18

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. Join us Sunday at 9 & 11 www.bed...

Away Game Fans (SERIES: In The Game)

Bedford Community Church ·

2025/05/11

Remember the thrill of being at the stadium, caught up in the excitement of the game? But, by the time you’re stuck in the parking lot traffic, that passion starts to fade, and life returns to normal. Sometimes religion feels the same way — a fleeting moment, then we get back to real life. What if there was something more — what if there was a lasting, life-changing experience for those willing to get in the game? Join us Sunday at 9 & 11 www.bedfordcommunitychurch.org

Home Game Fans (SERIES: In The Game)

Bedford Community Church ·

2025/05/04

Have you ever walked into a church and instantly felt like you didn’t belong? Everyone around you knew exactly what to do—when to stand, when to sit, what to say, and even what to wear. Meanwhile, you're left trying to figure out what the unspoken rules are, feeling like you're the only one who missed the memo. Or maybe it was an encounter with one of those church people who made you feel like you’re the outsider in a game where the rules are already set. I’ve felt like that and it made me wo...

Playing the Field (SERIES: In The Game)

Bedford Community Church ·

2025/04/27

In a world that often celebrates the freedom of casual connections and keeping options open, we sometimes overlook the cost of avoiding commitment. After all, when we’re “playing the field” it’s easy to keep things light and carefree. Real commitment requires vulnerability and responsibility, but without it, we miss out on the deeper, richer experiences that genuine connection offers. Relationships demand investment, trust, and the courage to fully engage. By choosing not to commit, we risk n...

Easter Sunday (SERIES: On The Road)

2025/04/20

Easter stands as the most celebrated, controversial, and debated day in history. It marks the resurrection of Jesus Christ, a pivotal event that has shaped the course of time, religion, and culture for over two millennia. Its significance goes beyond tradition, resonating with millions around the world. Yet this Holy day has sparked intense discussion and controversy—over questions of faith, truth, God, and the nature of life itself. Some see it as the cornerstone of Christianity, while other...

Coats & Branches (SERIES: On The Road)

Bedford Community Church ·

2025/04/13

For many of us, Palm Sunday is about children's parades, waving branches, and a last reminder to buy that ham before Easter. It's a joyful week, with young ones marching down the aisles, holding palm fronds high - everyone singing 'Hosanna' as we remember Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem. The church community comes together, marking the start of Holy Week with excitement and anticipation, looking ahead to the resurrection of Christ. But what if the Palm Sunday Paraders, both then and no...

What Do You Want? (SERIES: On The Road)

Bedford Community Church ·

2025/04/06

“What do you want?” From the sharp, impatient tone of a stranger on the street to the polite inquiry of a waiter at a restaurant, we’re constantly confronted with this simple yet powerful question. But how we respond—whether with irritation, excitement, or indifference—depends on who’s asking, and more importantly, why they’re asking. Now, imagine if the God of the universe were asking you, “What do you want?” How would you answer? This week at BCC, you’re invited to consider your...

Seizures, Servants, & Asphyxiation: A Family Sunday...

2025/03/30

"Are you kidding? We're not coming to that." We get it—when you hear a sermon title like Seizures, Servants, and Asphyxiation: A Family Sunday, it's hard not to raise an eyebrow. But stick with us, because sometimes, the most shocking and powerful words from Jesus are the ones we need to hear most. And we’re going to explore them together as one BCC family. This week, we'll dive into the real-life challenges that families face—physical, relational, and spiritual. From unexpected struggles of ...

The Toiletry Bag (SERIES: Get Off 0)

Bedford Community Church ·

2025/03/16

Ever set out on a road trip without a clear destination in mind? Or worse, have you ever thought you knew where you were going, only to end up at the wrong place entirely? When you’re traveling, knowing exactly where you’re headed gives you purpose and direction. Life is no different. Without that clarity, you’re bound to waste time, energy, and maybe even money, trying to figure it out along the way. And if you’re like me, once your destination is set, the next essential step is packing your...

Breaking Free From Coveting (SERIES: Get Off 0)

Bedford Community Church ·

2025/03/09

In our journey to get unstuck in our relationships—with God, others, and ourselves—we revisit the Ten Commandments, focusing on the final one: "You shall not covet." (Exodus 20:17). Unlike other commands, God leaves no loopholes—coveting anything that belongs to someone else disrupts our hearts and lives. While we don’t often use the word, covet, its reality is everywhere. We want, crave, long for what others have—whether it's relationships, possessions, or status. Culture fuels this with mes...

The Lies We Tell (SERIES: Get Off 0)

Bedford Community Church ·

2025/03/02

You liar! Nobody enjoys hearing that, but the truth is, we all lie. Whether small fibs or deeply ingrained dishonesty, lies infiltrate our lives in many ways. Some are obvious, while others are subtle distortions we don't even notice. From harmless exaggerations to self-protective lies that shield our egos or avoid accountability, deceit is woven into our daily interactions. This week at BCC, we're exploring how lying shows up in relationships, work, and how we present ourselves. Often, the m...

Thieves Among Us (SERIES: Get Off 0)

Bedford Community Church ·

2025/02/23

Sometimes, I notice signs for neighborhood watch programs popping up around us, a reminder that we’re trying to ward off the thieves among us. Theft is a real problem that impacts our lives in many ways, from break-ins and identity theft to armed robberies. These acts can strip away not only our personal belongings but also our sense of security and trust. It’s a stark reminder that stealing can deeply affect our relationships and communities. However, theft extends beyond credit card numbers...

I'm Lovin' It! (SERIES: Get Off 0)

Bedford Community Church ·

2025/02/16

It’s Valentine’s Day. A time to reflect on love and loved ones. People are built for connection, affection, and the deep bond that love promises. Valentine’s Day serves as a reminder of the universal desire for closeness and intimacy. Yet, as many of us know, love is not all Hallmark movies and long-stemmed roses. In fact, I don’t anything else has the power to build us up or break us down as love does. And for many of us love has left a painful mark. Whether through unspoken words, unmet exp...

How Could This Happen? (SERIES: Get Off 0)

Bedford Community Church ·

2025/02/09

It shows up on the news, another shooting, another tragedy. It often shocks us to our core, leaving many to ask, How could this happen? We grieve for the victims and search for reasons to explain what went wrong. But what if, in many ways, our culture’s relationship with violence has inadvertently laid the groundwork for these events to occur? The glorification of violence in entertainment to a desensitization toward suffering in the world. We’re horrified by the news but over exposed to aggr...

Parental Advisory (SERIES: Get Off 0)

Bedford Community Church ·

2025/02/02

Our relationships with our parents have the power to shape the way we experience the world, influencing how we relate to others and ourselves. For some, these dynamics can lead to struggles with trust, communication, and self-worth, creating challenges that extend into romantic relationships, friendships, and beyond. However, when these relationships are nurtured and healed, they can also serve as a foundation for greater emotional resilience, healthier boundaries, and deeper connections with...

How are you? Seriously. How ARE you these days? Are you feeling an increased level of anxiety or stress? Are you feeling restless? If you are, you’re in good company! Studies have shown the long-term stress sustained since the COVID-pandemic has had a significant impact on people’s physical and mental well-being. Yet, we soldier on. We push through.

OMG! (SERIES: Get Off 0)

2025/01/19

We’ve all been there – bang your toe on the coffee table, and out comes a very dramatic “Oh my God!” Maybe your Wi-Fi goes out mid-Netflix binge (the true modern-day crisis) and you yell out, “Jesus Christ.” Not exactly a prayer, right? But hey, it’s better than those real cuss words we learning middle school. But what if we’re missing something here? What if calling on God’s name could actually do more than just punctuate our frustrations? What if it had the power to change our circumstances...

Good Things, Gone Bad (SERIES: Get Off 0)

Bedford Community Church ·

2025/01/12

Getting off 0 is hard, especially when our life priorities are out of order. In the second installment of our Get Off 0 series, we’ll dive deeper into how we often elevate good things to ultimate things—and how that misalignment keeps us from moving forward. When we reorder our lives and put the right priorities in the right place, we create the space to thrive, not just survive. This Sunday at BCC, we’ll explore what God has to say about realigning your priorities and shifting your focus tow...
