BROWN’S BUNCHES

JUNE & JULY

Mondays – Kickball (College and Singles Combined) 7 pm

  • For the first time we will be doing a kickball league with other sister churches and their college and / or singles programs.   We are hoping this allows us to share ideas, get to know other sister churches and use it to invite the unchurched to an activity this summer.   

Tuesdays – Singles D-Groups Combined Study

  • This summer the Browns will be hosting a bible study to discuss subjects singles want to know more about and what the Bible has to say about them.  The studies will be at the Browns’ (unless the crowd grows too large) at 6:30 on the Tuesday nights that are listed below. 

Wednesdays – College Panel Discussion / Outings

  • The college group will be covering major issues that college students need and want more information about with a panel discussion.  We will be going to one of our church families for dessert/meal and fellowship on specific nights listed below.  The panel discussions will occur in Room 202 @ 7 pm. 

Thursday – BCN Freshman Orientation-

  • We will be joining with other churches this summer to help the UofL Baptist Collegiate Ministry to host the incoming freshmen at their pre-semester orientation.   We will provide snacks and look to engage both local students and those coming from all across the globe to attend the University of Louisville.  

Saturdays – Singles 

  • The singles will be going off campus or out of town once in June and once in July for some fun fellowship on the Saturdays listed below.   This is to help build community and also have a great event to invite an unchurched co-worker or friend.

Our Week in the Word comes from Peter Holmes, one of our College Group leaders.

 

Spring is here — a time of rebirth and renewal. Grass is growing, baby birds are hatching, and a new baseball season has begun.

Spring reminds us of new beginnings, but it is also a time of endings.

For many of you, another school term is ending, and, for some, an entire season in your life is ending with graduation on the horizon. Even in those moments, there is a new beginning.

 

We just came out of the Easter season where we celebrated life — life in Christ. This is the ultimate beginning. Christ is the author of all life, of all beginnings. Throughout the New Testament, there are examples of Christ giving new life. Sometimes it is a very literal and physical new life like Lazarus and Jarius’ daughter. Other times, it is a spiritual new life, like Zacchaeus and Nicodemus. Christ came to give us new life. Life that is abundant. Life that is full and rich. Life that is everlasting.

 

Spring does not always stay, winter comes. Grass withers, birds migrate, and baseball seasons end. Nothing stays around, and nothing lasts forever. The only thing that lasts is eternal life. As we go out of the Easter season and enjoy the spring season, we need to focus on the abundant life that God has given us.

As we mow the grass, remember how Jesus died for our sins so that we can have life.

As we listen to the birds chirp, remember how Jesus was raised from the tomb and conquered death.

As another school year ends and another class graduates, remember that we have life abundantly in Christ, and thank God for the new life that he has given us.

The GCO provides us great flexibility in how we allocate our missions dollars by allowing us to support missions efforts historically important to us as Southern Baptists (i.e., Lottie Moon Christmas Offering, Annie Armstrong Easter Offering) while also giving to other missions efforts our congregation is specifically passionate about (i.e., Reaching & Teaching, Love the Ville, 5 Loaves, SOS Ministries).

Our Week in the Word comes from Gabe Hinerman, Ninth & O’s Communication Pastor.

We Don’t Talk About …You Know

 

In a house full of girls, we listen to a lot of Disney songs. I mean, all day, every day. The latest craze is the Encanto soundtrack which even those without kids undoubtedly have heard. One track on the album is the song called, “We Don’t Talk About Bruno.” Bruno is the black sheep family member who supposedly is the source of family trouble and drama. So, the family has decided not to talk about him rather than work through the family issues. It’s a fun song that quickly becomes an earworm.

 

If this song were to become a church parody, the title would be We Don’t Talk About…You Know. Far too many of us live by this mantra in our church communities.

We give our brothers and sisters the holy stiff-arm avoiding relational vulnerability, content to be known only at the surface level or through our social media pages.

 

In our prayer groups, we ask for prayers regarding our upcoming Greek vocab quizzes (or Hebrew – Dr. Howell!). Perhaps we may request prayer for Aunt Frieda’s cat Audrey, but to unveil something going on deeper in our hearts is, well, we don’t talk about…you know. 

 

As our Discipleship Groups have been working through Ed Welch’s book, Side by Side, one thing the Lord continues to impress upon me is my need to be more open and vulnerable with others. I don’t like it. It often is awkward and uncomfortable. But, the Lord wants to help us grow, and one of the primary helps he gives us is each other! Yet, if I don’t open up, how can I possibly receive the help the Lord is offering? I’m trying to make a greater effort at revealing my heart so that others may walk side-by-side with me. Hopefully, by my example, they will be more willing to share with me. And maybe we’ll get to be a church that we can talk about…you know, with grace and truth. Let’s be willing to bear one another’s burdens, and share our burdens with our brothers and sisters (Galatians 6:2).

Our next offering is THIS SUNDAY, March 27, at 10:30 am. Register now at naobc.org/takethestep.

Our Week in the Word comes from Blake Ring, our Missions Pastor at Ninth & O.

 

If you’re reading this and you are a human, I know something about you. I know this something because I’m human too. I know that you are waging a war against a sin in your life. I also know that you’re not currently engaging one of the greatest weapons at your disposal to slay this sin.

What is this unused weapon that’s deliberately left on the table? It’s the weapon of intercessory prayer, which is the act of other Christians praying on your behalf.

A few weeks ago in my Wednesday discipleship group, we were working through the book Side By Side and the following words jumped off the page, “Asking people for help makes calling out to the Lord seem easy by comparison. The Lord already knows we are weak and needy, but other people? That’s a different story.” The author’s wisdom encapsulated a wrestling match happening within my heart. I knew I needed others praying for me regarding this something but I was struggling to be vulnerable.

My pride stood between me and Christian common sense.

I’m happy to report that I did share this something with my BFG community group several weeks ago. My pride took a hit, which was a good thing, but now I am engaging the power of intercessory prayer. I leave you with a verse God has pressed upon my heart and perhaps He will use it in your life as well. James 5:16 reads “Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.”

Our Week in the Word comes from Dr. Howell, one of our College BFG Leaders!

 

Proverbs 3:21–24

21   My son, do not lose sight of these—

keep sound wisdom and discretion,

22     and they will be life for your soul

and adornment for your neck.

23     Then you will walk on your way securely,

and your foot will not stumble.

24     If you lie down, you will not be afraid;

when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.

 

We talk a lot about wisdom, but we don’t often meditate on the value of wisdom. In Proverbs 3:21–24, Solomon encourages his son to keep “sound wisdom and discretion,” but then continues, explaining (1) what wisdom will be for him, (2) a quasi-promise for keeping wisdom and discretion, and (3) the restful sweetness of the wise life.

So what is the payoff for keeping wisdom and living with discretion? First, these are the very things that “will be life for your soul.” This is not just having good days. This refers to the flourishing of your soul, the deep-rooted delight in who God is for you rather than the wishy-washy emotions of life circumstances. This kind of deep-seated joy is “adornment for your neck” so that the rest of the world will see the holiness and grandeur of God in your wise living. Keeping sound wisdom is, to some extent, evangelistic. Others will see the resulting joy of your wisdom and wonder why you are so contented all the time.

In verse 23, you get somewhat of a promise. We’ve mostly been taught that Proverbs are not promises and we can’t “name it and claim it.” However, I wonder if sometimes we sell God’s word short by dismissing quasi-promises like verse 23. If you keep sound wisdom and discretion, “then you will walk on your way securely.” In other words, wisdom and discretion are the God-given means by which he keeps us on the narrow path. If, by God’s grace, your fear of God drives you to wise living, then you are living out the God-ordained means of keeping your foot from stumbling. Don’t be surprised then when God sustains this promise by filling you with the Spirit such that beauty of God, in Christ, allures you to live wisely. This doesn’t mean that you will never stumble; but it does mean that wise-living is the God-ordained means to keep you from stumbling.

Lastly, wise discretion gives us sweet, restful sleep. I often find myself waking up in the middle of the night with the worries of tomorrow on my mind. I can confess that this is because I feel like I need to accomplish my agenda for the day or else the world will not be able to carry on. To be fair, we all have responsibilities we must fulfill. However, part of living wisely is living in the knowledge that the Holy Spirit sustains us in our efforts. Hence, when we sleep at night, we can know that God will not only empower us for tomorrow, but he will keep the universe spinning while we rest. Keeping sound wisdom and discretion, in some sense, reminds us that we are not God. He will keep the universe in order apart from our laborious responsibilities and we can rest easy at night.

While there is more that could be said about the benefits of living wisely, Solomon only addresses a few here. But take some time to meditate on these images of beauty, adornment, sweet rest, the straight path, life, etc. Solomon intentionally chose these pictorial outcomes so that you would be allured to pursue (and keep) sound wisdom and discretion.

COLLEGE RETREAT:

We are THREE DAYS away from our college retreat!! We are getting super excited for it! A few reminders:

-Payments are due. If you have only paid the deposit so far, please make sure to pay the rest of the fee.

-Make sure to look over the packing list that was emailed to you and look over the itinerary for key times!

-Start getting excited!!!! We can’t wait!!

Our Week in the Word this week comes from Nick Braun, one of our College Group Leaders. It is an especially timely word for college students this week!

 

I am really looking forward to this weekend’s retreat. I have some really great memories as both
a leader and a student from these retreats. The teaching and fellowship always leave lasting
marks on our students. This was especially true the time Abby gave me a black eye on a
retreat the weekend before I started my Master’s degree… but that’s a story for another time.
As we head into this weekend I just want to pass along a couple of practical tips for the days
ahead.

1. Be Ready to Leave – Do not wait until the last minute to be ready to go. Do not rush around
Saturday morning looking for clothes or bedding. Have your stuff ready to go Friday night
so you can be rested and prepared. Coming into the retreat stressed and tired will rob you
(and your friends) of the fruitful time that you could spend together. During your quiet times
the next couple of days, pray for the retreat and those who are going. Pray for the teachers
and leaders. Pray for yourself that you would be open to hear what the Lord might want to
say to you.

2. Be Ready to Come Back – If you have something due on Monday, get it done before we
leave. If you have something due Tuesday, get it started before we leave. Do not leave
something hanging over your head all weekend. Again, you will rob yourself of a fruitful time
if you do not have the coming days planned for.

3. Be Ready to Grow – While the retreat is a great time for simply getting away from school
and work, it is also meant to be a time of growth. As a leadership team, we hope that you
learn something during our time together this weekend. Some of the learning that takes
place will hopefully be overtly spiritual in nature. We certainly hope your knowledge of God
grows in our short time together. But let’s also keep in mind the things we have talked
about at our College Nights as we spend the weekend together. This is a perfect time to
put into practice some of the practical things we have discussed through our book study.
Try to meet a new person. Try to serve someone while we are there. Try to find new ways to
love this small part of your church that will be together for these few hours.

Our Week in the Word segment is back!!! You can expect mid-week encouragement every Wednesday as we hear from one of our leaders. This week, we hear from Philip Brown, our College and Singles Pastor.

Sun’s out…Gun’s Out

While I was in high school, the basketball players used to always roll our sleeves up when working out to show our biceps/guns. Most of us didn’t like tank tops so we either rolled our shirtsleeves up or cut the sleeves out completely. Yes…this is not a new thing college students.  

Today was a great day to get the guns out. No… I didn’t cut off the sleeves of my I Love MY Church shirt. I was actually able to get out of the house and be what God has called me to be. A light in a dark world.   It was sweet!! It is crazy. People are more apt to talk if they aren’t going to freeze to death. So…just today…I was able to talk to about 10 unchurched individuals or non-believers. It started at Starbucks (of course) and ended with some neighborhood kids playing basketball in our front driveway. As we learned from I Peter this week in BFG, I was able to be a light in a dark world.

“God has chosen me to be a light. That is not just prescriptive but descriptive.”

I was so encouraged today to get the guns out again spiritually. The weather the rest of this week looks very promising.  Let’s use it to let our lights shine.
