North Platte Berean Church
Receiving & Entrusting
Jesus commanded his followers to "Make Disciples" and we've restated this in our mission: "Leading people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ." Our heartbeat is to see more and more people growing in this relationship with Jesus through connection to the Word, prayer and community. In 2022, we're launching a 3 Book Challenge focused on taking practical steps to helping everyone in the body at NPBC lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ. We long to see multiple generations of disciple-makers activated in Lincoln County!

Talk It Over
Visit npberean.org/grow-groups for more resources or to connect.
• Treasuring God: Do you see where God has worked in your life to reveal His character to you? How does that make you feel?
• Being Transformed: Do you feel that your life is characterized by disciple making? What holds you back from discipling others?
• Loving Others: In a world that often claims it is “unloving” to share the Gospel with someone, why is it important that we do? Are there consequences for us or them if we don’t?
• Pursuing Unity: Why is it important that we are doing the “3 Book Challenge” together as a church? How can we encourage one another in this challenge?

Next Week's Sermon
Christianity has a long history of being misunderstood, even by Christians! It's all too easy to make it about Jesus PLUS something (good works, moral living, religious activities, emotional experience…). But the book of Hebrews claims that when we add anything to Jesus, we're actually subtracting. It holds up Jesus Christ – fully God, fully human – as the promised Deliverer. He is the One who, alone, saves us from our sinfulness and restores our relationships with God, others, and creation. Its message, the message of Christianity, is really quite simple: Jesus Christ is enough!
