Pastor Tim fields questions from Chris that have been submitted by the BCBC Youth. 

In our second sermon on persecution, we look at the ways which Jesus tells us to expect persecution and how we can support our brothers and sisters around the world who are experiencing persecution, even if we are not. 

One of the most shocking things Jesus says in his entire ministry is found in Matthew 5:10, Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake. How can persecution equate to blessing? How do we endure persecution when it arises? And what kind of reward is promised for those who endure it? 

Here we finish looking at the Peacemaking Beatitude by looking at ways in which we can very practically pursue peacemaking with principles derived from Peacemaker Ministries. 

Learn how to apply biblical peacemaking principles from the example of David's exchange with Saul.

Jesus says, "Blessed are the Peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God." What is peacemaking though? How does it differ from peace-faking and appeasement? What does it mean to be called sons of God? We explore these questions and more in our 8th sermon on the Beatitudes. 

Sermon number 7 in our series on the Sermon on the Mount. Today we consider the beatitude, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God!" What does this promise mean, and how can we acquire this all-important heart purity? 

Sermon number 6 on the Sermon on the Mount, considering Jesus' statement that the merciful are blessed because they will receive mercy. What is mercy? How do we show mercy? And what is the result of showing mercy?

Youth Director Chris Ratliff preaches from John 3:36 on our expectations for obedience. 

The next in our Sermon on the Mount sermon series in which we explore the beatitude, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied."
