Brookwoodbaptist's Blog

We are kicking off a brand new series this Sunday entitled “Balanced”. We will be talking about how we can honor God with our money. It is going to be a very informative and practical approach to viewing and using the resources that God gives to us. We all seem to know about what God expects in the way of the tithe, but how do we approach the rest of the money and what are our attitudes towards it? That will reveal a great deal about where our heart is and what we believe about God. Please make every effort to join us and let these transformative teachings change how we deal with finances. It is going to be fantastic.

Please make sure to pray for Dean, the worship team and the technical team as they lead in worship. Pray that God will make Himself known and that we will be aware of His presence in a powerful way.

Here are the songs that we will be using in worship:

All We Need (Everything Glorious Album Version)

Hosanna

God Is Able (Live)

Where Would We Be

Enough (Our Love Is Loud Album Version)

This is second week in our “One By The Water” series. What a great reminder of the chance that we have to share what we have been given with people in our lives. When you have been given a great gift, you love to share that with other people, yet, for various reasons we are often hesitant to share our faith with the people closest to us. Not only does it honor God when we share about what He has done in our lives, but it gives someone else the chance to have that same blessing.

We are being reminded that Jesus is the Living Water. All of us need water to survive just like each of us needs Jesus to have life and life eternal. Be praying about how and when you can have the chance to share the Living Water with someone around you. Please remember to lift up Dean, the worship team and the technical team as they lead in worship. Please pray that we are acutely aware of God’s presence and intentionally seeking to encounter God Sunday morning.

Here are the songs that we will be using in worship:

Reach the World

My Savior Lives

We Will Remember

Your Great Name

You Are (Album Version)

Where Would We Be

This Sunday begins a new series at BBC. Make sure that you are there to hear what God wants to tell us about Himself and how He wants us to share Him in our world. We have been given a gift of unfathomable worth in our salvation. Our job is to share that grace with the people that God places in our lives. We have been given the Water of life. Not because of anything we have done, but because of God’s great love for us. We have the opportunity to share this love with a world that desperately needs it. Please begin to play now that God will open each of our hearts to hear from Him and then change our world by sharing who He is.

Please lift up Dean, the worship team and the technical team as they lead in worship. Be ready to encounter God and to praise His glorious name.

Here are the songs that we will be using in worship:

Our Glorious God

All My Fountains

Your Great Name

You Alone Can Rescue

Come Thou Fount, Come Thou King (Album Version)

Grace Flows Down (OneDay Live Album Version) (2006 Digital Remaster)

Well, we have a great Sunday in store for today,and not just because it is “Super” Sunday. It will be great because we will be coming together as a body to lift up the name of our Savior. He is more than worthy to be worshiped and have His name lifted high. Begin now to prepare yourself to worship. Worship God by yourself and then be praying that we will see God in a powerful way as we come together. God loves to be praised by His people and He delights in our praises.

We also have the privilege of hearing from our student pastor candidate. Even though we have not officially released his name, God knows how He is working in both our life and the life of the candidate. Be praying that God will use him in a mighty way to challenge us and to make His will clear. Also, don’t forget to lift up the worship team and the technical team as they lead in worship.

Here are the songs that we will be using in worship:

Victory In Jesus

O This God

Shine

If You Know You’re Loved

Glory To God Forever

Amazed (Album Version)

Your Great Name

Today, we finish our series about the obstacles that keep us from doing what God wants us to do. We hope that you have been encouraged and challenged to listen to what God is saying to you. Take those things that are in your path or holding you back and put them aside. God wants you to succeed in each one of those areas and will give you the strength that you need. Don’t let any of those enemies that we have talked about keep you from achieving the best God wants for each of you and for BBC.

Please begin now to prepare for worship now. Be expecting God to show Himself in a powerful way as we come together to worship Him. Please lift up Dean, the worship team and the technical team as they lead in worship.

Here are the songs that we will be using in worship:

Salvation Is Here (Live)

O This God

Doxology

How He Loves

This Is the Gift of God

Strong Enough

It’s another great day to be at BBC. Come ready to worship. God will be here and ready to be lifted up and praised. Begin now by preparing for worship. Everyday the week before think about some aspect of God. Maybe He has revealed Himself to you as holy. Think about what it means that God is holy and is set apart. He is NOT like us. He is perfect and morally pure. He alone is completely holy. Let that aspect of God lead you into amazement of who He is and what He gives up by loving us and giving us salvation. He is holy. We are not(on our own). We should not even be in His presence, yet because of the salvation that Jesus bought us at the cross, we can have a relationship with the Holy God.

Please be in prayer for Dean, the worship team and the technical team as they lead in worship. Here are the songs that we will be using in worship:

Let God Arise (See The Morning Album Version)

Holy

Our God Saves

Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)

Nothing But The Blood

O This God

Well, we are squarely in the middle of 2012. This is a great time to be thinking about and praying about how we can make ourselves available to God this year. God has great plans for BBC and He wants to use each of us to accomplish those goals. Please be searching what God is saying to you and what He is moving you to do through our church and through your everyday life with the people that you come in contact with.

Please be praying about this Sunday. God wants to be praised by His people. Not because He needs it, but because He wants us to have more of Him. Be amazed, even today, at who God is and what He has given us. Please lift up Dean, the worship team and the technical team as they lead in worship.

Here are the songs that we will be using:

Set Free

Joyful

Glory To God Forever

Holy

Draw Me Close

Strong Enough

We are solidly back into the new year now and life is returning to its “normal” pace, whatever that may be for you. Our prayer is that you will carry the spirit of the Christmas season into the new year, even though it probably seems like a long time ago now. The Truth of the miracle of the Incarnation of God is not only for a particular time of year. It remains the greatest of miracles and the Truth that changed God’s relationship to humanity.

Please continue to be in prayer for BBC, that we will see God, know His will for our individual lives and the church, as follow after Him, regardless of what might seem to be in the way. Please lift up the worship team, the technical team and Dean as they lead in worship. Here are the songs that we will be using:

Joyful(The One Who Saves)

How Great Thou Art

Always

Forever Reign

Stronger

Well, another year has gone by and we at the beginning of 2012. It looks to be a great year for Brookwood and we are praying that God will do mighty things through our church. Please join with each of us as we anticipate God moving through BBC to reach our community.

One of the great things about the New Year is the sense of freshness and a new start. We should be reminded every day that God’s mercies are just like that. We don’t have to wait for a changing of the year or the a certain date on the calendar. Every time that we come to Him in a humble spirit and ask for forgiveness and His mercy, He is quick to grant it. Be amazed by the love of our God.

Please lift up Dean, the worship team and the technical team as they lead in worship. Here are the songs that we will be using in worship:

Everlasting God

Your Grace Is Enough

Our God

God With Us

Revelation Song

Enough

Merry Christmas. Today is one of those rare days that occurs once every 6 years where Christmas falls on a Sunday. I know that it may seem crazy (especially to those of you that have families with young kids at home), but what a great way to spend Christmas morning. We have just had a great night last night celebrating the excitement that comes from the birth of our Savior and now we come together again and worship our King.

Today, as Dean mentioned over the last two Sundays, we are doing something a little different. Since there are many people that are working today (in areas that simply cannot shut down on holidays), we are challenging Brookwood to reach out to them and share the love of God this Christmas morning. We want every family to stop somewhere on their way to the 11:00 service and give someone, that otherwise cannot be in church, a gift and let them know that God loves them.

We would like to have everyone take a picture with them and the person and email it to BBC where we can show it during our service. Exact details are still in the planning stages, but we will get them put up on this blog, through the website and other methods. Please check back, if you read this before the information gets posted.

We normally put the song selection in this blog, but know that we will sing some carols this morning. We look forward to celebrating Christmas with our BBC family.
