BBC, like every local church, is a work in progress. Jesus is building his church “until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ” (Ephesians 4:13). This sermon begins a series titled “A Work in Progress,” whose goal is to help us to more clearly and joyfully appreciate this work of God and to be better equipped to faithfully and joyfully fulfil our responsibilities to Jesus Christ and to one another, as expressed in our church covenant.
