North Platte Berean Church
Our Grace-Giving King
Do Christians need to bother studying the Old Testament? How can Israel's history even be relevant for us today? Join us as we dig into the Old Testament book of 1 Samuel and discover a shocking truth – just as Israel longed for a king, we actually still long for a king to rule over our hearts today! Of course, for many of us, the king on the throne is ourselves. But what kind of king is actually good for us? What does the heart of that king need to be like? How can we find a king who will truly protect, love, and serve us? Join us as we explore these questions!

Creating Spaces – 2K22
We believe that by 2022, through God's grace and power, we will see 2,000 people baptized and growing in relationship with Jesus through the Word, prayer, and community.
How can you play a part? Pray for those who don’t yet know Jesus, and share your life with them so they can experience good news through your words and actions.

Does God give us more than we can handle?
"Strengthening oneself in the Lord" DOES NOT mean:
Spiritualizing
Venting Emotions/Frustrations
Expressing Anger

Expressing Anger
Strengthening Oneself in the Lord DOES mean:
A personal experience - not a religious ritual
Eagerly turning toward - not away from - God

Next time we meet, a new year - a new decade - will have begun! What are things you'd like to leave in 2019 (or in the past decade) and what are things you want to be sure to pull into 2020? We'll explore both areas as we continue to seek to be strengthened in the Lord by His grace!
