North Platte Berean Church
Mission Central
If you knew your time in this life was quickly running out, and you could share just a few final words with loved ones, how intentional would you be with those words? How significant would you want them to be? What important truths would you speak? With death imminent on his life’s horizon, Paul pens the final letter of his ministry – his “last words” – to his spiritual son Timothy. And we have the opportunity to listen in on these intensely personal and highly strategic last words – words of great significance and power not just for Timothy, but even for us still today.

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.

How should we labor?
“Sacred work,–Church activities–may so engage and absorb us as to hinder praying, and when this is the case, evil results always follow. It is better to let the work go by default than to let the praying go by neglect. . . . How easy to neglect prayer or abbreviate our praying simply by the plea that we have Church work on our hands. Satan has effectively disarmed us when he can keep us too busy doing things to stop and pray.”

Talk It Over
Don't just listen to the message. Let it speak into your life. Talk it over with your friends, coworkers, family, or Grow Group.
http://npberean.org/group-resources/Next Week's Text
After encouraging Timothy to pursue the mission of discipling others, he will describe a true teacher's characteristics and qualities (rooted in the person of Christ Jesus). What does it look like to be an "unashamed worker" for the gospel?
