North Platte Berean Church

Bearing Witness

Bearing Witness

Sometimes things can feel a bit fuzzy when it comes to who or what the church is exactly, or what its role should be in the world. The historical accounts in the book of Acts describe several key defining moments in the life of the early church – a gathered people, called out of darkness and empowered by the Holy Spirit, being transformed by the gospel into a community of people who seek to live out the values of God's kingdom. Discover how these early defining moments can also bring clarity for us, shaping us into the people God is creating us to be even still today.

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

What are we devoted to doing? What gets the best of ourselves? What do we prioritize? How do these things line up with those in the early church days? And if they're different, can we readjust our objects of devotion? If so, how? Great questions with real answers!
