North Platte Berean Church
First Warning
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!

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: What message did Christ bring to the world? Why is the message He brings better than the message of the Old Covenant?
• Being Transformed: Why is it important to keep our minds focused on Christ? How can we take a step to focus our minds on Him each day?
• Loving Others: Read Hebrews 2:4. If the Spirit is working and growing us as believers, how can our lives play a role in displaying the message of Christ?
• Pursuing Unity: How should we approach another believer if they are drifting from truth? Why is it important that we do anything at all? What’s at stake if we don’t?

Next Week's Sermon
Next week we'll focus on global realities as we host visiting missionaries to a closed country in Asia. They'll be sharing how "All the Nations Will Worship" with texts from Romans 15:8-21 and Revelation 7:9-10. The main idea is God’s eternal purpose is to receive worship from every people group!
