Burke Community Church

Share Jesus with others! Whether with your friends, family, or even the feisty fringe, the good news of Christ brings hope and life to all. Join Pastor Marty Baker as he wraps up John chapter 1 and challenges us to proclaim Jesus to the world around us.

John the Baptist understood his identity and purpose: to prepare the way for Jesus and point others to the Lamb of God. In John 1:29–34, we see a life defined not by personal recognition, but by faithfully making Christ known. What can we learn from John's example about understanding our own identity and purpose?

In John 1:19-34, we see John the Baptist faithfully point others to Jesus, declaring Him to be the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. As John makes it clear that he is not the Messiah, he directs attention to the One who came to bring salvation. Through this passage, we’ll explore the identity of Jesus, the significance of His mission, and what it means to faithfully point others to ...

In John 1:14–18, we see the wonder of Jesus Christ, the Word who became flesh and dwelt among us. Through Jesus, we see the glory of God, full of grace and truth. This passage reminds us that God did not remain distant from His people, but came near to us through His Son. As we study these verses, we’ll consider what it means to know God through Jesus and how His grace and truth shape the way we l...

Worship is more than singing on Sunday—it’s offering your whole life to God as an act of surrender. In Romans 12:1–2, Pastor Jim Powell challenges us to stop conforming to the patterns of this world and allow God to transform the way we think, live, and follow Him.

In Psalm 150, Pastor Matt Sims reminds us that we were designed to worship God with every part of our lives. Discover how worship goes beyond music and Sunday mornings—it is our joyful response to who God is and all He has done.

Join us as we continue our "Serving Like Jesus" sermon series and ask an important question: What does God want from our lives? Following Jesus means more than simply knowing what He has called us to do—it means being willing to follow Him wherever He leads. As we study God’s Word, we’ll look at what it means to recognize God’s calling, trust His direction, and faithfully do the things He has plac...

What does God want from our lives? As we continue our  Serving Like Jesus  series, we’re reminded that following Jesus is about more than simply filling a role or checking a box. God calls us to lives of faithfulness, humility, love, and service as we seek to become more like Christ. In this message, we explore what God desires from our lives and what it looks like to respond to His calling with w...

"Everyone who wants to be first will be the last." Jesus' words challenge us when it come to the heart and posture of a servant. Join Dr. Marty Baker as we kick off our 5-week series  I Surrender All: Serving Like The Savior.

How you speak to others matters. Today, the Apostle Paul is going to instruct us on how we conduct ourself around other people and give us some insight as to how a changed life impacts our output on the world around us.
