North Platte Berean Church

Faithful Friends

If we've learned anything in these days of COVID-19, isn't it that isolation and distancing is completely unnatural to us as humans created in God's image for community. Yet many of us are feeling more lonely and more disconnected from ever as we head into this fall. We may feel stuck, frozen or even paralyzed in our situation and see no way forward. Yet Jesus has wisdom and authority to bring healing and hope to the most paralyzed among us. We'll look together at this good news and consider its implications for our lives moving forward.

Creating Spaces – 2K22

We believe that by 2022, through God's grace and power, we will see 2,000 people baptized and growing in relationship with Jesus through the Word, prayer, and community.

How can you play a part? Pray for those who don’t yet know Jesus, and share your life with them so they can experience good news through your words and actions.

Next Week's Text

Just before His ascension, Jesus gave a clear command that established a primary mission for His followers. This week we’ll explore that command, consider how our own lives live out the command, and seek the grace of Jesus for when we’ve fallen short.
