North Platte Berean Church
Don't Just Do Something - Sit There!
As John returns from Sabbatical he has a two week series on Luke 10:25-42 before we launch our Advent series. The two stories in this section may be familiar or completely unknown to you, but regardless of familiarity level, may we approach the Scripture with humility, expectation and joy as we allow it to speak to us and show us how we can Treasure God more and more!
