2024 has offered us a number of opportunities to grow in our faith in Christ, encourage others in their faith and glorify God’s eternal love and grace toward us through his son Jesus. We have ventured with him, walked with him and trusted him.
As we close out 2024, we are encouraged by the word of God to edify (build up) one another in love. (Heb. 10:24-25) as the days and times in which live are increasingly evil. As we see the day of the Lord approaching, let us not find reason to stay away from the fellowship, and look at every opportunity to gather, share and serve.
Join us this New Years Eve as we gather, fellowship and share with one another the great things God has done to us and through us to his glory.
If you would, use this link to share with us how the Lord has showed up in your life through The BereanWay ministry in 2024. Some of your testimonies may be shared at our watchnight service.

Christmas is merry. Christmas is a time to rejoice, celebrate and be glad. It is the fulfillment of a divine promise of God to provide a mean to redeem his fallen creation back to himself. Mankind needed and still needs a Savior and the Lord in his infinite wisdom, love and grace, offered and offers his only begotten son. It has never been about a particular day in December (which our American culture acknowledges) as some would believe. But the word of God recognizes a particular date (Luke 2:11), in which the fullness of time had come (Gal. 4:4) to bring forth and manifest the promise of his word. To everyone who believes this truth, God gives them the authority to become his children (John 1:12-13). The merry receptional response from every believer, is in the abundance of life that accompanies Christ.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. That was the true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.John 1:1-14
We are excited and hope you are too as we have witnessed some miraculous things of the Lord this past year. We have seen God’s hand in leading us through the strategic planning process and the changes in our lives, families and circumstances. We have seen the Lord open our eyes of understanding to his word and how are learning how to live daily and more consistently in victory.
Adventuring with God and Believing in Him for the Impossible

Every new day, there is a new expectation, a new venture and new experience with God. In his divine wisdom, God will call up any one of us to display his authority, sovereignty and power as sees fit as he did with Job (1:8). There should always be an expectation on our part to be used in the service of our Lord. As we close out 2024, we should be able to bear witness of the things God has carried us through, delivered us from and save us in. And as we enter into 2025, let us be found faithful, trusting Him who is able, to do those this which exceeding and abundant above what we can ask or thing. Let us adventure with the Lord our God, believing Him for the impossible.

Listen again to Sunday’s message, “Called to Care” by Minister James Parker of Calvary Evangelical Baptist Church.
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.
Join us as Minister Parker shares with from Lam. 1:1-12 and Galatians 6:6-10
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.
