North Platte Berean Church
Childlike Humility
Today is national "Stand Sunday" as we remember those families (and especially children) who are in the sphere of the foster care system. We have several ministries here at Berean that care for children and we'll highlight opportunities both inside AND outside the church where we can connect and serve as the Lord calls. We have the high privilege of receiving Jesus by receiving children in his name!

Next Week's Sermon
We'll be starting a short, two-week series called "Tis the Season." As we rapidly approach the holidays we want to get ahead of the coming crush of the demands on our finances and time. How can we love God and love our neighbors in the holiday season using these precious resources? Here's the catch: if we don't intentionally consider this, decisions will be made for us - and they may ones we regret after the holidays!
