The BereanWay – Confident Adventure

We would all agree, who are in Christ Jesus that the adventure we’re on is a rather interesting one. We are going to endure some hardships, suffer some loss. We are going to be asked and directed to go places and entertain people we would naturally go but none the less, in faithful obedience, we follow.

But as the Lord lead Moses, Noah, Abraham and Sarah, he is leading us. He wants us to know that he is our ever-present help, our refuge and strength (Ps. 46:1). We can and should know that our confidence in serving the Lord, is accompanied with his divine strength. God reassured Paul of his intension to get him from Jerusalem to Rome in the midst of all the trials, accusations and imprisonments (Acts 23:11). In order for this to happen, God had to orchestrate and move some things and people into and out of place. God is at work in you and your life. He will move people in and out of your life and rearrange your plans to accomplish that which he has ordained. Our confidence is in Him, not ourselves. So, as you adventure with today, know that He who has begun a good work in you is not yet finished. Be renewed in his confidence, it’s The BereanWay

Get signed up and get your tickets today for our 36th Annual Victory Celebration and Gala. As we honor the Lord and give thanks for his mighty hand of faithfulness over the ministry of New Berean, we encourage you to celebrate with us. Tickets are $25.00/Adult & $ 12.50/Students.

Leadership Training x3

Aug9

The BereanWay is to “Educate and Equip the Saints for the Work of the Ministry”. And our vision here at New Berean is being worked through our Leadership Training part 3.

T-R-I-A-D

The core values of every godly lead ministry

Teachable – Respectful – Integrity – Accountable – Dependable

Leading in God’s House requires:

Leaders lead in Gratitude
Leaders lead in Accountability
Leaders lead in Discipline
Leaders lead in Faith
Leaders lead in Prayer
Leaders lead in Humility

Leaders lead by example. John 13:15 reminds us of Jesus mindset that we should use in our roles as leaders, “For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.” Jesus

As we are on this journey of “Adventuring with God” we must be teachable, obedient and faithful to the Lord. Jesus was in tuned with God’s call on his life. He said, “I must be about my Father’s business”

Let us continue to encourage, support, pray for and obey the leadership God has gifted us with. It is for the perfection of the saints and the edification of the body so we may grow and mature and not be tossed to and fro.
