Dear BBC Church Fellowship and Friends,
This Sunday the 8th of December at our 10.30 am Morning Service, Pastor Tim will be leading and Assistant Pastor Steven Driver will be preaching from Luke 1 verses 45-56. His sermon is entitled “The reason to praise”.
We are beginning our Christmas series which will look at the songs of praise that come out as a response to Jesus' incarnation.
Our first and possibly most famous is Mary’s song, traditionally called the Magnificat (based on the first line), and it is just pure unashamed praise, coming from the depth of her heart.
This morning, we are going to see the real reason for her praise and why we can praise with her.
Please use the blue "Join the Service" button above to watch live although the link will not be live until Sunday at 10.30 am.
