Beginning With the End in Mind – How does it all end up? Well, God has given us knowledge of the past, present and future and what we should be doing to edify one another. Join Pastor Tony as he leads us through a series study entitled, “Revealing Revelation – Beginning with the End in Mind.”

We’ve already gotten off to a great start and are looking more as the Lord unveils things about the Author, his church, Israel and the end of this world as we know. God wants us to be encouraged and received the blessing he has for when we a) read it, b) hear it and c) obey it (1:3).

This Week at The BereanWay

Eyes Fixed in 2026. Hebrews 12 reminds that we ought to look and have our eyes fixed on the Author and Finisher of our faith, Jesus. He alone is the help we need (Ps. 121:1) in 2026.

Revealing Revelation – We have been brought to a point in time where we need to look to Jesus more than ever. And God has given us his word that we may be educated and thoroughly equipped for the work ahead (2 Tim. 3:17). With the word of God, specifically The Revelation of Jesus, we are presented with the tools to both glorify God and minister the good news of God’s love to those we encounter on our daily journey.

Pastor Tony, has embarked on an adventure through the new message series, “Revealing Revelation – Beginning with the End in Mind”. This line-by-line study will enlighten, transform and propel our personal walk with Christ that the impossible will now become possible.

New this year …

Beginning in January, Pastor Tony will begin a new and exciting preaching and teaching series entitled, Revealing Revelations, Beginning with the End in Mind”. An extensive and beautifully put together study designed to educate and equip us to navigate and build up our faith in these end times.

Alos if you have ever been interested in Mission work, consider venturing to Costa Rico with our Missionary Pastor Jean Paul Guilbaud and wife Matilda. We will be traveling to this Central American country to assist, learn and share in the work they have to win souls for the cause of Christ. Sigh up today and learn more.

EYES FIXED IN 2026 is the initial thought for this new year. But it’s also the the eternal mindset God wants us to carry into eternity (Heb. 12:2). Let the eyes of our faith be firmly fixed, focused and given wholly over to trusting in the Lord who is the Author and Finisher of our faith.

These believers had the eyes of their faith firmly fixed on the One who is the Author and Finisher, the Beginning and the End and the Alpha and Omega of their faith. Jesus once witnessed a falling away of his followers and asked the remaining, believers were they too going to leave his fold. Peter declared, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.” Jhn 6:68. In 2026, let us have our eyes fixed.

Blessed to See Another Year – Minister Calvin Bullock shared with us in our annual Watch Night worship service the reasons why we are blessed to see another year and why we can have confidence in the year to come according to Ephesians 1:3-11.

• We are Chosen in Christ, v4
• We have a Destiny for Adoption, v5
• We Have Redemption and Forgiveness Through His Blood, v7
• We Have Been Made Known His Mysteries, v9
• We Have Obtained an Inheritance, v11

Believing God for the Impossible -Thank you for your faithful giving to the ministry of New Berean. By God’s eternal grace and your cheerful giving, we are moving closer to a $0 balance. As Deacon Lawhorn mentioned last night, we are progressively reducing the debt balance of our mortgage. An official report will be coming soon at our next business budget meeting this month

Mission to Costa Rico – The Lord has commissioned us to go to the uttermost parts of the earth. When we can’t get there, we send and support those who can. Pastor Jean Paul Guilbaud and Sister Matilda have accepted our request to visit, share and serve in the country of Coast Rico. If you would like to be a part in the adventure, contact Deacon Lawhorn for details.

Other things to consider at The BereanWay

2026 will begin with the end in mind.

Have you ever done a study in the Book of Revelations of Jesus Christ? No, well let’s begin 2026 with Pastor Tony as he leads us through one of the most interesting and exciting portions of all scriptures. God’s message is the same for people to come him in faith and for those come to him, believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of them who diligently seek him (Heb. 11:6). As he unpacks the truth of this dynamic letter, we will be educated and equipped to live faithfully in today’s end times and the days to come.  So, as we come to the end of 2025, have our “Eyes Fixed on 2026″

The core message of the Book of Revelation is hope and ultimate victory for God’s people through Jesus Christ, who is portrayed as the conquering Lamb, assuring believers that God reigns, evil will be defeated, and a new, perfect creation (New Jerusalem) will come, calling for faithful endurance and worship amidst current suffering and evil. It’s a message of God’s sovereignty, promising that despite worldly chaos and persecution, good will prevail over evil, and Christ will return in triumph, bringing final judgment and eternal peace.

The BereanWay – The Prophets Have Told of This Day

“God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom He also made the world.” (Heb 1:1-2, NASB)

“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 came into being through Him, and apart from Him not even one thing came into being that has come into being.” (Jhn 1:1-3)

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him.” (Jhn 3:16-17)

“Peace on earth, good will towards men” (Lk, 3:14)

you and all of yours. May the grace of our God, the fellowship of his Holy Spirit and the gift of our Lord Jesus Christ be your sufficiency during this time of year. We pray that the good news of the fulfilled promise of God to send a Savior, a child, his only begotten son who would be the Redeemer of the world will be the story told throughout your gatherings.
