North Platte Berean Church
"…the anger transformation…"
We're hitting a one-week pause on our Coming Soon study to hear from Pastor Scott Mathis, President of the Berean Fellowship of Churches (weareberean.org). He'll be jumping off of James 1:20: "Human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires" and helping us understand WHY we're angry, the consequences of our anger, and how to grow out of unholy anger.

We'll continue our "Coming Soon" series with a word to the church of Smyrna. Jesus has only praise for this church (no challenge or concern). What is it about this church that is so admirable? What moved them to this place? Could we be people like this as a church at NPBC?
