North Platte Berean Church
On Easter Sunday, we saw that Jesus is the true King who invites and commands us to follow Him…but what does that look like practically? We believe Scripture identifies four key growth areas for following Jesus well – Treasuring God, Being Transformed, Loving Others, and Pursuing Unity. Join us as we explore these four realities together and seek to live them out more fully in an ever-growing relationship with King Jesus.
Our vision components
• Treasuring God
• Being Transformed
• Loving Others
• Pursuing Unity

How to pursue humble service
• Who will do this? (esp. for me…) “I deserve…”
• What do I see that needs done? “Someone should…”
• What do I think is beneath me? “That’s someone else’s job.”
• What do I not want to surrender? “I can’t live without…”
• What’s the need I see that I could meet?
Requires: Pursue humble submission
