Thank you New Berean Baptist Church
“15 Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, 16 do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, 18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power 20 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all principality and power and [i]might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. 22 And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, 23 which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.”

I’d like to invite you to be my Special Guest this Sunday.
If you are new to the Hampton Roads area, looking for Church to attend, or are visiting one of our members, put New Berean on your list of places to visit this weekend.
You may ask, “can’t I worship and praise God at home or wherever?” Yes, you can, however there are a number of things to consider about NOT coming to church. The “local assembly” or church as we commonly call it is hub for all of God’s New Testament order. It the place where ministry begins. The local church…
So, in reality, you can be a believer and worship God at home or anywhere else (John 4:21-25). But as the growth and development of the Christian faith progressed and became organized (Tit. 1:5), the need to establish biblical meeting places for the scattered one became vital to the continuance of the work (James 1:1). .
What To Expect When You Visit Us at New Berean
Please review our “Safe Fellowship Protocol” as part of your checklist. We are currently wearing masks while inside the worship facility and offering our “Drive Up & Tune-In” available option for those who cannot come in with crowd.
In the theme of The BereanWay, John Francis Wade penned these words to our beloved Christmas carols,
“O come, let us adore him, O come, let us adore him, O come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord.
For he alone is worthy, For he alone is worthy,
For he alone is worthy, Christ the Lord.
We can and should celebrate the birth of our Lord in the true spirit of Christmas. For in the birth of Christ there is redemption, salvation, forgiveness of sin, and the highest expression of of God’s love towards us. Once we have accepted this reality by faith we can truly adore him, Christ the Lord.
The Prophet Isiah wrote, “For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. and His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace” announcing the birth of the coming Savior (Isa. 9:6). And Luke recorded the actual fulfillment of that prophecy Lk 2:11-12), “for there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord, and this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.” For every Believer, the birth of Jesus is a merry event. It marks the blessed birth of the Savior, the One who John said, “taketh away the sin of the world (Jhn, 1:29).

Join in and Grow Together
People are out in the streets, laughing, shopping and gathering for various holiday festivities. As so are we. Let us take this special time to open up and engage others in a conversation about Jesus, who is the real reason for the season.
Life seems to be in such chaos, with all the violence, political unrest and multitude of wars around the world. But that’s not the way it was originally. God’s original design was his human creation interacting with one another, with his animal and earthly creations. All carrying on in harmony and having fellowship with him (Gen 1, 2).
The sin was introduced into the perfect environment through the rebellion and disobedience of Adam and Eve, all of mankind and the earth as it was once known was cast into a downward spiral of continue and destructive direction (Gen. 3, Rom. 5:12). Once God’s design was broken, mankind has attempted to recapture that communion and fellowship with the environment. The problem is and has been the attempt is being done man’s own way and not by God’s divine order (Rom. 1:21-23).
The 3 Circles of Evangelism image, helps us understand how sin broke and disrupted God’s design and how order can be restored. Mankind, broken as we are, has attempted to recover itself through various vices and have created other issues and problems that have made even more chaos and confusion.
The bottom line is God wants us to be restored through repentance, prayer and faithful obedience to the Gospel, the Good News of his love and grace (Titus 2:11-14).
Life on Mission has provided us with some easy tools to help share the faith in God.

Missionary as defined is a person sent on an assignment to carry a message to a foreign or other land and country. Here at New Berean, we accept the reality that all of us as believers are called and assigned by the Lord to carry the message of the cross to other across the planet. After his resurrection from the dead, Jesus assigned his disciples to take the word of God’s grace as extended through his finished work on the cross to the heart and eats or everyone (Mark 16:14-16). While some have taken this assignment as their personal calling in the ministry, all of us as disciples and followers of the Lord have this assignment as well and we do it practically through our “Marketplace Evangelism” initiative and support to those on the mission field.
Our mission support here at New Berean extends to Costa Rica, The Philippines, Ceraso (in the Caribbean) and India
Along with your prayerful and financial support for the work going on around the world, we also support by actively reaching out to our community through “Marketplace Evangelism”, the Crisis Pregnancy Center and Union Missions.
Be encouraged, be involved and support the Commission of Christ through your local church
