The Powers That Be (SERIES: Threaded Through The...

Bedford Community Church ·

2025/10/26

Ever had those moments in your life when God feels absent? When prayers echo into emptiness, when life unravels, and heaven stays quiet? We all face seasons when God’s silence feels louder than His presence — when the story we’re living doesn’t seem to have a trace of Him in it, when we wonder if he’s even there at all. If you’re feeling that way now, you are not alone. This week at BCC, we begin a new series on the story of Esther — the only book in Scripture where God’s name is never mentio...

Worship in Everything (SERIES: So Compelling)

Bedford Community Church ·

2025/10/19

Worship and awe come naturally when we encounter beauty—whether in a sunset, a deep connection, or a moment of joy, our hearts naturally overflow with gratitude. But when hardship strikes, worship feels much harder. The weight of pain, loss, and struggle often clouds our ability to see beyond our circumstances. Yet, imagine the freedom and joy we could experience if we learned to worship even in the hardest moments. If we could shift our focus back to worship, it might transform how we ...

Don't Go It Alone (SERIES: So Compelling)

Bedford Community Church ·

2025/10/12

Ever tried assembling IKEA furniture without a second pair of hands? You start off strong, but soon you're wrestling with a wobbly bookshelf, using your knee to stabilize one side while your other hand fumbles for a screwdriver. It’s a delicate dance of frustration, questionable balance, and by the end, you've somehow insulted three Swedish ancestors just by turning a bookcase into a modern art sculpture that has a cat trapped behind a glued-down faux-wood panel. Going it alone sounds heroic—...

Pray Now & Later (SERIES: So Compelling)

Bedford Community Church ·

2025/10/05

Prayer — a practice that, for millennia, has connected humanity to the divine. Quiet moments of reverence, approaching with awe, as we tread on holy ground. For many, prayer is a formal act, approached with careful words and sacred silence, reserved for special times or places. But what if that’s what prayer was never meant to be? What if it looked more like how our children come to us—spontaneous, unfiltered, and persistent? What if God invites us to pray like that—not formally or occasional...

Read that Bible (SERIES: So Compelling)

Bedford Community Church ·

2025/09/28

Wouldn’t you want to know—really know—what God’s will is for your life? What if we told you it’s not a mystery, not a fantasy, and not something reserved for just a few “spiritual” people? God’s will is clear—and it’s better than you think. Join us this Sunday at BCC as we unpack exactly what God wants from you and for you. No hype. No guesswork. Just the truth that can change your life and all you’ve got to do is Read that Bible. Join us on Sunday at 9:30 am. www.bedfordcommunitychurch.org

Guess who's coming to dinner? (SERIES: So Compelling)

Bedford Community Church ·

2025/09/21

Remember that time you showed up to dinner and they were there? Yeah—them. The person you’ve expertly dodged for months, only to find them casually buttering a roll across the table like it’s not a social ambush. You smiled so hard your face twitched. The small talk? Olympic-level. The escape plan? Foiled by shared dessert. A night of perfectly planned awkwardness, garnished with parsley and unresolved tension. But what if instead of a disaster, it’s divine timing? What if the host wanted you...

So Compelling (SERIES: So Compelling)

Bedford Community Church ·

2025/09/14

Why does the church exist? Some say it’s a place for worship. Others point to teaching, fellowship, or personal growth. And while all of those are true, they’re not the whole story. What if the church was meant for more? What if we were invited into something bigger—something with the power to transform lives, renew communities, and impact our world? Jesus believed the church would be a force that changes everything. At Bedford Community Church, we still believe in that vision—and we’re cla...

Bedford Community Church ·

2025/08/31

Who are you to tell me what’s right or wrong? I’ve lived my life, I’ve made my own decisions, and I know what’s true. You can believe what you want, but it doesn’t mean it’s wrong. We all have different experiences, and what’s right for one person might not be for another. If I feel something is right, then it’s right for me. Anyway, we all deserve the freedom to decide for ourselves what’s best. To many of us, that all looks good and sounds good. But what if every single sentence above is wr...

2025/08/24

When you think of a weak man, what comes to mind? Maybe it’s the guy who can’t open a jar of pickles without calling for backup. Maybe it’s the guy who can’t change a tire without calling AAA. Perhaps it’s the guy who wimps out when the extra spicy wings are served. Or maybe someone who’s just a little too nervous, or skittish, or timid. But here’s the twist: the strongest man in history, the one who tears a lion apart with his bare hands, might prove to be the weakest of them all. Join us as...

Breaking Promises For Jesus

Bedford Community Church ·

2025/08/17

Some promises bind us to a future we never should have agreed to. They might have been made in a moment of fear, pride, or desperation, but once spoken, they start steering our lives in destructive directions. The trouble is, we often think “keeping our word” is automatically noble—even when the vow itself is rotten. But the truth is that faithfulness to an unfaithful vow is not faithful at all. This week at BCC, we’re diving into the worst vow in all of Scripture —a single, tragic promise th...

Crushing It (SERIES: Not Your Kids' Bible Stories)

Bedford Community Church ·

2025/08/10

We all want to be crushing it. Maybe you’re conquering your career, owning your workout plan, or moonlighting your way to side-hustle stardom. But what if your version of “crushing it” is secretly crushing you? And what if your reason for crushing it is actually crippling you? This week, we’re diving into the story of a guy who had it all—until his version of crushing it ended up crushing him…literally. His ambition was unmatched, and he advanced to power with ruthless efficiency, leaving a t...

Fear and Loathing in Midian (SERIES: Not Your Kids'...

Bedford Community Church ·

2025/08/03

Fear and loathing, a potent and perilous cocktail. When consumed by these powerful emotions, individuals can be motivated to bring great change or spiral into destructive patterns, harming themselves and those around them. Johnny Depp gave us a great, albeit extreme, showcasing of how an unchecked descent into paranoia and resentment can distort reality, leading to a profound sense of isolation and disillusionment. So, what then do we do when we encounter these unsettling forces, not just in ...

Camping Out (SERIES: Not Your Kids' Bible Stories)

Bedford Community Church ·

2025/07/27

Camping. It’s supposed to be all about fresh air, starry skies, and bonding with nature, but in reality, it’s more about fighting with a tent that won’t cooperate and accidentally roasting marshmallows to charcoal. And then there’s the wildlife—squirrels plotting a snack heist and raccoons holding meetings about your granola bars. I’ve had my share of camping fails, but none come close to the legendary story of Sisera & Jael we’re exploring this week. Trust me, this makes my tent pole inc...

Am I Enough? (SERIES: Not Your Kids' Bible Stories)

Bedford Community Church ·

2025/07/20

We’ve all heard it: “I am enough.” It sounds empowering. But what if, deep down, you’re not buying it? What if the truth is, you don’t feel like enough - and maybe never have? Join us for a raw, honest conversation about weakness, doubt, and the limits of self-affirmation. We’re peeling back the polished slogans to wrestle with what it really means to be human - and to need help. Oh, and yes- there’s also a cool assassin story involved. Intrigued? You should be. This isn’t a tidy Sunday Schoo...

Doom Spiral (SERIES: Not Your Kids' Bible Stories)

Bedford Community Church ·

2025/07/13

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 i...

That Changed Everything: Part 2

Bedford Community Church ·

2025/07/06

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 wan...

That Changed Everything: Part 1

Bedford Community Church ·

2025/06/29

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 ...

Put On The Jersey (SERIES: In The Game)

2025/06/15

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...

Leave It All On The Field (SERIES: In The Game)

Bedford Community Church ·

2025/06/08

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 ...
