North Platte Berean Church
Pursuing Perfection
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!

Next Week's Sermon
What is the greatest threat to our nation today? Inflation? Corrupt politicians? Societal division? Illegal immigration? Abortion? Gun violence? Moral degradation? The list is incredibly lengthy, but we'll explore the greatest threat not only to America, but to any nation. We'll gain insight as to how we can resist this threat and hear good news for our hearts in the midst of this challenge which seems to grow stronger as the years pass.
