Birth of Our Nation – Reach Up and Reach Out

God has admonished and exhorted us to pray for our Country, and its civil leaders. and as we celebrate, honor and give thanks to the Lord we “Therefore exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, ² for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. ³ For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, ⁴ who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. ⁵ For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, ⁶ who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time, I Tim. 2:1-6

The BereanWay Sunday with Antonio Harris

The Black Horse – The Deprivation of Food. In the scriptures, God has used famines and means to judge his people and to demonstrate or prove out their faith. The black horse of Revelation is the imagery God has chosen to show to those us will not experience the tribulation the desperation, despair and damage to be done to those who have rejected his grace prior to the rapture.

The BereanWay – Legacy to Legacy

Men, we are held to a standard of divine proportions. Why, because God has ordained it of us. We are to take what has been given to us by our fathers (good, bad and indifferent) and lead our families with God’s wisdom (Jam. 1:5), his confidence (Jos. 1:,3, 7 & 9) and his instructions (Deut. 11:19).
To His glory we can run the leg of this race that is set before us and leave a legacy that will bless our children, our homes, and communities.

“And you shall teach them to your children by talking about them when you sit in your house and when you travel on the road and when you lie down and when you get up.” Deut. 11:19

“God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. I Peter 4:10 (NLT)

This year our VBS theme is Reigning With Purpose. In I Peter 4:10 we are reminded of God’s divine and intentional purpose to bring him glory. According to Ephesians 2:10, we have been saved unto God for good works. As a result of our new birth in Christ, we have been gifted with certain blessed and divine (Rom. 12:6, I Cor. 12) gifts and it is his intent that we use these special gifts to edify the body, exhort one another and establish one another in the faith

Join us on Saturday July 11th, as we explore, learn and employ the gifts of God as Regin With Purpose

“ Just as each one has received a gift, use it for serving one another, as good stewards of the varied grace of God”

One of the greatest misconceptions is the VBS id for kids. But VBS is an opportunity to integrate the teachings of the Lord with a creative flare to keep it as interactive and exciting as God intended it to be.

This year our theme “Reigning with Purpose” from 1 Peter 4:10, “Just as each one has received a gift, use it for serving one another, as good stewards of the varied grace of God“. Every one of us as “believers” in the Christ of the bible have a calling on our lives to be good stewards and use our divinely appointed gifts for his glory. Our lessons are designed to identify areas of our life to in which these gifts can be managed in a godly manner. Join us July 11, for a time to “Equipped and Educated” for the work of the ministry. Let’s be about our Father’s business, it’s The BereanWay!

Upcoming Events

Servants Serve

“And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ” Ephesians 4:11-12

Proverbs 29:18, states, “Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint; But happy is he who keeps the law.“. The Lord God will set up Pastors and Teachers in his New Testament local churches as He sees fit. He will provide and here at New Berean, he has in the person of Pastor Tony and Sister Samanatha. Their presence and service, kindness and giving have been much appreciated and we bless the Lord for his gift to us and recognize and honor the Lord.

On behalf of the Pastor’s Aide ministry and the Anniversary Planning team, we thank all of New Berean, all of our friends and family for your overwhelming support and encouragement during this humble attempt to bless our blessing. Please continue to pray for and encourage Pastor Tony and the work we have been assigned here at New Berean. Let us serve through and finish our course with joy.
