North Platte Berean Church
Does God care about the little things?
Ever feel unsure how to pray or uncertain what to say to God? Or just like the whole concept of talking with Him is a struggle? So did Jesus’ early followers! When they asked Him to teach them, He responded with a concise yet powerful prayer commonly called “The Lord’s Prayer.” Whether you grew up reciting this prayer or have never heard it before, all of us can find it emptied of its power for life and godliness…if we don’t seek a deep understanding of the rich truths it contains. Prayer 101 is an opportunity to internalize this prayer for ourselves and pray it – with understanding – back to God, our loving and gracious Father.

The Treasure Principle
Jesus spent more time talking about money and possessions than about heaven and hell combined. But too often we’ve overlooked or misunderstood his most profound teaching on this topic, from his words in Matthew 6. Jesus offers us life-changing investment advice. He actually wants us to store up treasures for ourselves—just not here on earth. Instead, he urges us to store our treasure in heaven, where they will await us, and last forever. We can’t take it with us—but we can send it on ahead!

Next Week's Sermon
Do we have to forgive others? The Lord's Prayer reminds us that the forgiveness we extend to others reveals the kind of forgiveness we actually want for ourselves.
