This past weekend, BBC held its annual retreat. We have learned over the past few years, that no matter how much effort and frustration organizing and planning a retreat for the whole body takes, everyone enjoys the time of concentrated fellowship and focused teaching. Our Father blessed the time of teaching with messages on the greatness of JC by looking at various passages in Mark. Our speaker addressed the greatness or supremacy of JC over things like spiritual powers, wrong ideas, creation, trials, and our own unbelief or doubts. We certainly need these reminders. As a part of the application, after the messages we gathered into smaller groups and discussed applications of these topics, including role playing that left us in laughter.
So often BBC reminds us not only of the glory of JC, but also of the beauty of the future when all nations will gather together as one. Attendees represented 13 nations this weekend. One recent Sunday, we had 20 nations represented. Can we do this in SC?
