North Platte Berean Church
Remaining Faithful
On this final Sunday in 2020, we'll be exploring the critical nature of discipleship for the church of any age - but perhaps especially for our current situation. We'll investigate 2 Timothy 2:1-13 as we realize that discipleship is meant to be practiced by all followers of Jesus. We'll close out the year with a reminder about the essential nature of discipleship in the life of our church. Fancy programs, large facilities, complex strategies are not needed. Just a heart to pass along what we've learned to someone else coming along the path of faith.

We'll be launching a new year and a new series - Seeing Clearly! Some of the biggest questions our culture is asking currently revolve around knowing truth. How do we know truth? Who is the ultimate decider of truth? Is truth merely from my perspective or is there something larger? We'll examine these questions and we experience is the challenge of how to respond when we "see" differently than God. Whose vision will we trust? How will we think and act when our understanding contradicts what God has said? How can we root ourselves in God's sight rather than our own? How can we know truth?
