If Jesus was God, How Could He Be a Man?

If Jesus is God, why would he ever chose to come to earth, and if he did come to earth why would he come in a human body? If I were God the last thing I would want to do is elect to be a human, be treated like a human, experience life as a human, smell like a human, or go get old like a human. But Jesus did. Why? Was he on a mid-life adventure trip or was there a reason for it?

If you have ever thought these things like me, you will benefit from hearing this very practical, down-to-earth sermon on Jesus being a man and doing normal man things. Jesus did not come to earth as God in human form for fun; God works intentionally with purpose. Join us in discovering that purpose.

Fair Warning: This session will change your perception of Jesus and possibly shock and or offend you.

What's So Special About Jesus?

Why are you a Christian? Why did you chose to follow Christ and not Islam, Buddha, or Scientology? Really, think about it. What makes Christianity so different from these, or any other religion? The difference: we have Christ... but so what? What makes Jesus so special that we should follow him and not other religions? What gives Christians the right to say they are the only way to heaven, don't all roads lead to heaven?

These questions and more are answered in this sermon.

Sermon: What's So Special About Jesus?

finding answers. together.

Our current series is making an impact. You can watch this series on this blog as our sermons are posted weekly (normally by Tuesday afternoon) but I want to take a moment and talk about this series.
Finding Answers. Together. is designed for people who are willing to look at what they believe and admit they don't have all the answers but want them. You'd be scared to know that most everyone is just like everyone else... we all have questions. You won't find answers unless your questions are asked. That is what we are finding... answers.
This series takes a very commonsense approach and is not for the heavily intellectual person, but for the commoner. Bible is used but so is logic. It is serious topic studies but delivered with humor and satire. Some could argue, "You can't use logic to answer questions about Christ... we are to walk by faith and not by sight." I agree about walking by faith, but don't forget that if you are saying this statement you are likely a current follower of Christ and have faith; but we are sent to people who are not Christ followers and do not have faith. Realize that even the Christ follower does not have blind faith; the Christ follower has seen enough to believe and continues to believe and therefore sees. (Yes, that does make sense but you may have to read it a few times and then have your mom explain it to you.)
If you have questions you would like us to answer in this series please feel free to email them over to me: pastor@millettbbc.org. If your question fits into the flow of the series it will be considered. Makes sure to keep up with the series as you may have it answered somewhere throughout it.
If you are enlightened or inspired by this series please let me know as well. Send me an email and share your blessing. Be sure to tell which sermon touched you and how.
I look forward to having you join me as we continue Finding Answers. Together.

Did Jesus Really Come Back to Life?

On Easter Sunday we began a series for people like me... you know, the kind who want to cut through all the fluff and get to the truth. We are calling this series "Finding Answers. Together." and we are doing just that; finding real answers. We all have questions dealing with Jesus and we are going to find real answers to them, not just hearsay.



Since we began on Easter we began with the question, "Did Jesus Really Come Back to Life?" Good question. Think about it, could it really have happened? Do you really believe it? Just because your grandma did doesn't mean you have to; she also believed rubbing butter on a burn was the right thing to do but we all know it is the worst. Is their really any proof that Jesus, the worlds most popular person could really die and really come back to life? Watch this video as we explored conspiracy theories and seek truth.

Easter Sunday! Great Day!

April 12th was Easter Sunday which meant things were busy around the church, but well worth it! Our attendance was up 50% from the previous week which meant we connected more people with Jesus.

From tasteful choir songs and other special music to starting a new sermon series called Finding Answers. Together. Face it, we all have questions concerning spiritual things and in this series we are looking at objective evidence that Jesus and Christianity are truly legit.

Take some time to enjoy the special moments of the day! Below are video clips from the celebration service.

Jesus' Freedom March.

Every church takes a different approach to Palm Sunday. I like to think of it as the Freedom March that lead way to a liberation movment of grace and forgiveness. As Jesus rode into town on the back of a colt it was far different than what the Israelites thought the Messiah would do, look like, think like, and act like, but it was exactly how God knew it would go all along.

Luke 19 records this freedom march. Grab your Bible and follow along.
