Next Week's Sermon
We'll be concluding our Every Part Plays a Part series as we look at Unity in Action by seeing how the early church practiced unity. We'll discover who played a part, how they played a part, and delight in why it was so important that they played a part. We'll receive encouragement and challenge for our own context today that North Platte Berean Church might be the church God designed her to be!
