Psalm 13 sermon — ""How Long, Lord?"" A message about lament, waiting on God, and what to do when God feels silent or far away. If you've ever prayed and felt forgotten, asked God ""how long"" before something changes, or wondered whether He's still paying attention to your life, this one's for you. We walk through David's prayer in Psalm 13...

Psalm 27 sermon on fear, anxiety, and trusting God when you're afraid. If fear has been loud lately — fear about a diagnosis, your marriage, your kids, money, your job, or a future you can't control — this message walks through one of the most honest prayers in the Bible. David doesn't pretend the danger isn't real. He's got enemies, armies, false witnesses, the whole thing. Bu...

You were never meant to be the one holding everything together. Psalm 46 was written by a family that watched their own world literally cave in, and somehow they became the people who taught everyone else how to sing. In this message, Pastor Samuel Sutter walks through Psalm 46, the ancient worship song behind Martin Luther's "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God," and shows why its most quo...

What if being fully known by God is not something to fear, but the beginning of freedom? In this sermon from Psalm 139, we explore how God knows our thoughts, our hidden places, our stories, and our fears, and how Jesus makes it possible to be fully known without being condemned. If you have ever felt unseen, unknown, or afraid to be honest with God, this message is for you. Join us at 9:00am or 1...

Most of us have felt it—the ache that there has to be more to life than the daily routine. We look for it in adventure, romance, career, retreats, nostalgia, new experiences. We chase the mountaintop. In Mark 9, Peter, James, and John actually get one: Jesus transfigured before their eyes, his clothes brighter than anything on earth, Moses and Elijah standing beside him, the voice of the Father th...

Why do some kids grow up godly and others grow up greedy—even when they're raised in the same home? Why do well-raised kids sometimes go off the rails, and poorly-raised kids sometimes turn out remarkable? In Mark 7, the Pharisees ask Jesus a ""good parent"" question about tradition and training, and Jesus gives a shocking answer: the problem isn't outside of us. It&#39...

There's an entire industry in America dedicated to influencing powerful people. Lobbyists know the right time, the right gift, the right approach. So how do you approach the most powerful person in the universe? In Mark 7, a Gentile woman with a demon-possessed daughter does everything ""wrong""—wrong ethnicity, wrong gender, wrong timing, wrong credentials. Jesus calls her...

How long should you wait for Jesus to win? Most of us treat Jesus like a struggling sports team—we stick around when things look hopeful, but we head for the parking lot when it seems the game is lost. This sermon walks through Mark 5, where Jairus has a dying daughter, Jesus stops to heal a bleeding woman instead, and by the time Jesus gets there, the girl is dead. It's a story about impossib...

Ask any mom—storms don't wait for good timing. The fever hits at 2am. The phone call comes during dinner. The hard season arrives without warning. And moms are usually the ones holding the boat steady while everyone else panics. This Mother's Day sermon walks through Mark 4, where the disciples are sinking and Jesus is asleep, and asks a question every mother has probably whispered at some...

#Mark2 #EndOfReligion #Communion "Most people think rules are the key to a good relationship with God. Keep the list, check the boxes, stay on the right side of the line. But in Mark 2 and 3, Jesus walks into a cornfield, heals a man's hand on the Sabbath, and does something the religious leaders couldn't forgive: he claims to be the rest they'd been working so hard to earn. This...

Psalm 144 sermon on finding hope after trauma, war, and unanswered prayer. A veteran's story of coming to faith after 40 years of atheism—and what happens when life doesn't line up with the promises you thought you understood. This message walks through David's prayer, the cross, and the resurrection to answer a question a lot of us quietly carry: if God is good, why does life still fe...

We all have ambitions — but who are they really for? In Mark 10:35 -45, James and John make a bold play for power in Jesus' kingdom. His answer flips everything upside down. Elder John Leavitt unpacks what Jesus says about ambition, the cost of following Him, and why service — not status — is the true measure of greatness. Join us at https://bbcc.church at 9:30 or 10AM this Sunday!

"Imagine you go to the doctor with a throbbing migraine. You just want the headache fixed. But the doctor runs some tests and says: your head isn't the problem. It's something deeper — something you never would have guessed. The doctor is either brilliant or foolish. Either way, they've told you something about yourself that you didn't know. That's exactly what happens in...

What if the Easter story doesn't end the way you think it does? In the Gospel of Mark — the earliest written account of Jesus' life — the resurrection narrative ends with three women running from an empty tomb in fear. No joyful reunion. No doubting Thomas. No beach breakfast with Peter. Just trembling, bewilderment, and silence. Most scholars believe Mark ended his Gospel right there — on...

Imagine a friend breaks something valuable in your home. Someone has to pay. Either they cover the cost — or you absorb it. That's not just an economic principle. It's how forgiveness works at every level. And it's why God said: ""The only way I can forgive the sins of the human race is to suffer. Either you pay — or I will."In this Palm Sunday message from Mark 8:27–9:1...

"Most stories build to the big reveal. Mark's Gospel gives it away in the first sentence: Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God. That's not lazy storytelling — it's intentional. Because Mark doesn't want you guessing who Jesus is. He wants you wrestling with what you're going to do about it. In this message from Mark 1:1–12, we slow down and look at the details most of us s...

What's the best thing for kids? Jesus answers that directly in Mark 9 and Mark 10 — and it's not what the disciples expected. In this sermon from our Mark My Words series, we walk through three truths every parent, grandparent, and kids ministry volunteer needs to hear: welcoming a child means welcoming Jesus himself, causing a child to stumble puts you in serious danger, and the kingdom o...

"What if the first thing Jesus ever said publicly wasn't ""I love you"" — but ""turn around""?In Mark 1:15, Jesus walks into Galilee right after John the Baptist is arrested and delivers the most audacious opening line in history: ""The time has come. The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news."" In this f...

Why do relationships feel so exhausting? Idolatry, broken cisterns, and what Jeremiah 2:13 reveals about the real reason your community feels heavy. In this sermon from our Community Series at Boynton Beach Community Church, we dig into what happens when you ask people to carry your security, identity, and approval — a role that was never theirs to fill. From Jeremiah's broken cisterns to the...

We all know what it's like to carry a grudge. Someone hurts you, the wall goes up, and you call it "protecting your peace." But what if the thing you're calling wisdom is actually the thing keeping you lonely? In this message from Colossians 3:12-13, we look at what the apostle Paul says about forgiveness inside real community — not the polished, conflict-free kind, but the messy...

Conflict in relationships, loneliness, and the struggle to build real community — why does every close relationship eventually become an arm wrestle? This sermon unpacks James 4:1-2 and Philippians 2:3-8 to expose the real root of relational conflict: the "me" problem we all carry. Discover why trying harder doesn't work, and how Jesus' radical self-emptying is the only thing tha...

"Amazon Prime has discipled us more than Sunday school ever did."We swipe, scroll, ghost, and keep our options open — with friends, with church, even with God. We're the most connected generation in history and the most lonely. Something's broken. The Bible has an ancient word for the fix: covenant. In this message we explore the difference between consumer relationships and cove...

ou can start well and still drift. The race isn't won by speed—it's won by focus. And the focus isn't on your performance. It's on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith. He's not just waiting at the finish line—He ran the race for us. In this communion Sunday message, Pastor Sam Sutter walks through Hebrews 12:1-2 and 1 Corinthians 10:31 , inviting us to stop, look up,...

Samson didn't wreck his life in one moment—he walked 56,250 steps in the wrong direction. Bad habits don't feel like much at first, but they accumulate. Hebrews tells us to throw off everything that hinders. So what's the one thing slowing you down that you need to drop? Pastor Sam Sutter unpacks Hebrews 12:1, Judges 16:1, and Proverbs 4:14-15 in this powerful message about breaking fr...

Daniel didn't become a man of faith overnight—he had a rhythm. Three times a day, he prayed, just as he had done before. Runners train before the race matters. So what's the one habit you need to start? Not twelve. Just one. Based on who God is calling you to become, what's your first stride? Pastor Sam Sutter walks us through Daniel 6:10 and challenges us to stop overthinking and star...
