Happy Anniversary Pastor Tony and Sister Samantha. June marks two years since the Lord answered our prayers and presented us with his gift. According to Ephesians 4:11-16, God gave gifts to the church, his local assemblies, to lead them, teach them, shepherd, care for and protect them. In this, we are grateful to celebrate, honor and esteem this servant-family in faithful obedience as the Lord expects.

Join us this Sunday for exciting time of prayer, fellowship, teaching, preaching and the singing of songs of Zion

Members, Guests, Family and Friends, we are anticipating and “Believing our great God to do great and Impossible” things as we “Adventure with Him“. As we “Adore Him” he’s going to show us how and why we “Reach Up” to him and “Reach Out” in service to others. Our S.T.R.I.V.E. will lead us to walking with him is “Sound Doctrine” while “Value Others“. Let’s meet this Sunday to be “Equipped & Educated” under the teaching and preaching of God’s word, the singing of songs and hymns and fellowshipping with the Saints.

Student Wing – A Work in Progress

Continue encourage our Berean Student Youth Ministry as we are in a full S.T.R.I.V.E. in The BereanWay to ministry to our youth. Bring and gather the youth at the Lord’s table to be fitted with a firm foundation in an atmosphere rooted in sound biblical and practical doctrine.

Celebration of Mother’s Luncheon

Our Celebration of Mothers Luncheon blessed. We were encouraged to celebrate and honor God’s gift to our individual families with Mothers. Here is a small capture of images from this special moment

Let’s continue to “Adventure with God” and “Value Others”. God has called us for this moment in time to STRIVE with him and with one another. We are excited about the calling we have here at The BereanWay. We just completed our 2nd Leadership Training session (see below). As we STRIVE into May and June, we have some great opportunities to have things in common as we serve together, grow together, share with one another (Acts 4:32-37) the things the Lord God is doing through our ministry and in our lives.

Sunday’s Message – The WOW Factor (The Works of Women in the Bible)

The BereanWay this Week

Educating and Equipping the Saints for Ministry – growing to be the disciples of Christ requires and calls for us to assemble and be taught. Jesus told the first wave of disciples to teach others to teach others the things he commanded (Matt. 28:20).

Guests, You’re Invited to Check Us Out and Visit Our Family

Just a snapshot or two from our most recent Ministry Leadership Training session.

Here are a few take aways from today’s training session:

• Gratitude: “Pray constantly, give thanks in everything; for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.” I Thess. 5:17-18 Praise to God is the fruit of gratitude to God, it recalibrates in us to the reality of God’s sovereign control over all and it positions us to go deeper with the Lord. Gratitude is demonstrated in:
  • Affirmation – encourage those you serve with
  • Admiration – respect and approve the work of those your serve
  • Appreciation – edify and lift up other in the ministry
  • Action – do it with gratitude
• Forgiveness – “*And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.” Eph. 4:32. is a conscience deliberate decision to release feelings of resentment or vengeance toward a person we serve with who has harmed us regardless of whether they actually deserve your forgiveness. On the contrary, the sin of unforgiveness:
  • builds high and wide walls of isolation
  • leaves us separated from Christ’s cleansing
  • erodes away at the peace, joy and contentment we could be experiencing
• Encouragement – “Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.” I Thess. 5:11 Encouragement is contagious, it goes a long way in building up those we serve with. Encouragement is seen as:
  • Perserverance – longsuffering
  • Faith – trusting God
  • Hope – when things seem to be impossible
  • Gratitude – being thankful for the opportunities we have to serve
  • Joy – having fun in our service
  • Kindness –
• Faithfulness – “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” Col. 3:16

All these and more are The BereanWay in action

Join us this Sunday as we continue on our journey in the scriptures in Sunday School LIVE! So far, we’ve traveled to explore the Men, Women, Children, Couples and others in the bible. This month we will be venturing through “The Promises in the Bible“.

A promise is a promise if you have the ability to see it will come to pass. But only God is able to control all aspects of a promise like the one to come back and receive us as believers unto himself (ref I Thess. 4:16-18). But are there any biblical promises that apply to us personally? Join us this Sunday for Sunday School LIVE! Promises in the Bible and we will find out as we Adventure with God.

This Sunday at The BereanWay

Next Thursday, May 4, 2025, is the National Day of Prayer here in the United States. Pastor Tony would like us to join him in prayer for our Nation, it’s people and the Church of Jesus Christ:

Are we still in the S.T.R.I.V.E. in 2025? Yes, we are. This race is not given to the swift or the strong, but it’s a race for the one who faithfully endures (Eccl. 9:11). It’s a S.T.R.I.V.E. to maintain in the way of Sound Doctrine. It is a S.T.R.I.V.E. to Value Others. It is a S.T.R.I.V.E. So just as the Lord told and commanded Joshua after the death of Moses and as they were to STRIVE on, he says to us “be strong and of good courage (Josh 1:9).
