This Week at The BereanWay

The BereanWay Sunday

The BereanWay Sunday – “Birth-Right Citizenship of the Believers in Christ by Pastor Antonio Harris

The Birth-Right Citizenship of the Believer in Christ, in today’s Sunday sermons, Pastor Tony shares with us the benefits of holding a blessed citizenship in Christ in comparison to not being in Christ. Our Country is a time when the government is planning to change the definition and details of birth-right citizenship. But God’s word is settled in glory that once we have obtained this blessed and divine citizenship, or no one can change it.

According to Ephesians 2, Pastor Outlines:

I. We Had a Hopeless Citizenship

II. We Have a Heavenly Citizenship

II. We Have Heavenly Citizenship Rights

Adventuring with God

As we move further into God’s will for our life, let us do it with the mindset to go through it and finish it with joy (Acts 20:24). God has great things for us to do. He wants us to (ad)venture with him, by faith just as he with Abraham, Moses, Enoch, Ruth and Job. He is not yet done and there is much more to do.

Happy Blessed Anniversary to you both. We are humbled to announce and share with you the 2nd anniversary of our beloved Pastor and his wife Miss Samantha. Family cookout Saturday and Celebration service this Sunday

Educating and Equipping…

Jun4

A disciple is one who is in training, being taught a follower. As long as we are in the ministry, we are always going to be in the classroom, learning and being taugh the things of the Lord (Matt. 28:20)

Discipleship Training with Pastor Tony

Paul was a preaching man. Wherever he went he preached Christ and him crucified Acts 20:7 As Paul preached, people were converted, people were influenced, and people we disturbed and irritated. It’s safe to know that when we go out and about, we too will encounter opposition. People who oppose Christ or the gospel bring God’s eternal judgement upon themselves John 3:17-18 & 2 Tim. 2:25-26.

We should know also that when we love for and serve the Lord they will hate is because they hated him first, John 15:18 Reading Acts 20:7-10

Educating and Equipping the Saints for Ministry – it’s The BereanWay

Team Berea to Curacao

It’s a great day to be a missionary for Christ. In preparation for Team Berea’s trip to Curacao, we are asking the whole New Berean family to lift the team up in prayer before the Lord for sustainability, needs to be met and mission to be accomplished.

Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable.

He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength.

Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted;

but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

Isaiah 40:28-31
