S.T.R.I.V.E. in 2025

To “strive” is to make great efforts to achieve or obtain something. To deliberately put forth something extra. Paul, the Apostle wrote about pressing towards the goal of Christ (Phil. 3:14). He knew living the life of Christ was going to be met with a variety of challenges calling for an extra effort.

• S – Sound Teaching
• T – Train to Lead
• R – Reaching Out
• I – Intercede for Others
• V – Value Others
• E – Evangelize

• And every man who strives for mastery is temperate in all things…” I Cor. 9:25a

Join us at this year’s end Watch Night Worship Service. We are going to sing in the New Year with songs of praise, encourage one another with fellowship and hear a challenging and blessed message from the word of God to close out this year and anticipate the new year’s plan in Christ.

The BereanWay Sunday is our time to collectively and corporately and obey God’s directive to meet and encourage one another daily and not forsaking meeting as others have done. (Heb. 10:24-25) .

Watch Night 2024, as we close out 2024, we will gather together to share our experiences and adventures in the Lord. His faithfulness, his plans and his desire. God wants us to bear witness and testify of his grace, his love and awesomeness. God will give a message of blessed hope, and we believe in him for the impossible in 2025.

Sunday School Live – Beginning Jan 5th and every Sunday in 2025, we will begin adventuring with the Lord with live and interactive new adult Sunday School sessions. Upcoming lessons include Women of the Bible, the Couples of the Bible, the miracles, feasts, parables and other subjects help us gain a better understanding and knowledge of the Author of this divine book of wisdom and excitement.

Today and every day, we give thanks to the Lord for his bounty of gifts. As great as they are, none could compare to the gift of the Lord Jesus, for in Christ we have been blessed with all spiritual blessings in the heavens (Eph. 1:3).

Take the time to share this special and eternal love of God with someone this Christmas season. It’s The BereanWay

Dear Family,

As the weather is cooling off and more indoor activities are occurring, we urge you to remember the importance of your health and the health of others as you gather. If you have signs of upper respiratory illness, including coughing, nasal or chest congestion, fever or chills, please consider masking and social distancing. Also, one of the best ways to minimize illness is by proper hand hygiene. We pray that you will enjoy a healthy, illness-free season!

Jeremiah wrote the letter of Lamentations as means to share with the God’s people, God’s pain for them. They were in slavery at the hands of their enemies as a direct result of their rebellion and disobedience to God’s word. God wants us to more of an influence and not conformed to our world but when we do, we become less effective.

Yes, every day is a day of thanksgiving, for God has been so good to us. Let us take the Lord at his word to make us fishers of men by following Him is service and the giving of thanks. We are looking for a glorious and blessed time with the other saints of like-faith. Sundays are always a good time to fellowship, encourage and be encouraged in the teachings of Christ. The making of disciples, being fishers of men, requires us showing up learning from the collective experience we receive in our gatherings.
