North Platte Berean Church
Naming Jesus
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.

As we conclude our series on the church, we'll examine how the early church reacted to threats from a dominant culture that wanted to suppress the Name of Jesus. What do we learn from this for ourselves in 2020? Especially with an election looming, are there truths we need to remind ourselves about?
