North Platte Berean Church
Hear God Speak
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!

The Three Book Challenge
We officially launched our Three Book Challenge last Sunday and over 170 people picked up a packet! If you missed it for some reason please take a bit of time to watch the sermon, read the letter, and prayerfully consider taking the Three Book Challenge.

If you're looking for other discipleship resources after the Three Book Challenge, we've found Matthias Media to be a very useful distributor of discipleship material. There are numerous resources besides the Just for Starters we've purchased for the body.

Talk It Over
Visit npberean.org/grow-groups for more resources or to connect.
• Treasuring God: The title of this series is Jesus Christ Is Enough – what do you think that means? What are some areas we tend to look to outside of Jesus for comfort or security?
• Being Transformed: What does it mean that God has spoken through Jesus? How does that change where we seek advice, counsel, wisdom, help, etc. for our life?
• Loving Others: If we are connected to Christ and hearing God speak through Him, what are some specific ways this would reshape what it looks like for us to love others? How might it change what advice we give them?
• Pursuing Unity: If God speaks through Jesus to each believer, where should we look to learn how to treat one another? What would this change in how we handle disputes with other believers?

Next Week's Sermon
Have you ever noticed our culture is fascinated with angels? We love the idea of "guardian angels" and people talk about dead loved ones in terms of "God getting another angel in heaven." The writer of Hebrews states plainly that Jesus is the Superior Son who is high above the angels. Why? And what difference might that make in our lives today? We'll explore these and other questions next week!
