North Platte Berean Church
Consider Jesus
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!

Talk It Over
Visit npberean.org/grow-groups for more resources or to connect.
• Treasuring God: Who is the greatest person you can think of? What about them makes them great? What specifically about who Jesus is and what He has done makes Him even better?
• Being Transformed: Do you feel that Jesus is someone you can bring all of your brokenness/sin to? Is there anything you’re withholding from Him? Why?
• Loving Others: In a world that feels very lonely, what encouragement does the truth about believers being a building together and Jesus being our builder bring to us?
• Pursuing Unity: If we as believers are being built together by Jesus, how does that change the way we view other believers? How can we each take a step in loving others at Berean better?

Next Week's Sermon
The author of Hebrews includes several "warning passages" in his letter, and we'll be engaging the second one next week. This week we've asked, "Does God lie?" and our answer to that will either protect us from or lead us toward a hardened, and ultimately unbelieving, heart. How can we protect our hearts? Lord willing, that's what we'll explore next week.
