Our world has taken just about every aspect and element of our society and corrupted for their own purposes. For us here at New Berean, Hallelujah Night is an opportunity to provide our local community with a safe fun, family environment with an added opportunity “welcome and evangelize all who come”. We have not been called to evangelize the saved but the lost (Luke 19:10). We are taking the approach that the majority of people we come in contact with are in need of the Savior and we are taking this moment in time to share with them Christ, through fun, games and treats.
Evangelize with the Gospel
We do not “celebrate” Halloween or Hallelujah Night. We celebrate the privilege to serve the Lord by reaching up to Him for guidance, wisdom and direction to reach out to those in need. As Christ has sent us into the world on a mission, we will go.
The month of October is Pastor/Clergy Appreciation month, and it is our time to call out and let the people who have labored in the work of the know, their work is not in vain. Use the link (Ministry Appreciation Form) to share with us the person who has been an encouragement to you in your walk with the Lord.
Being able to give to others in the work of the Lord requires us to be a whole as we need to be. Today’s Mental Health Matters Workshop was a blessing to those in attendance by providing us tools and information to help us be the people God wants us to be and how we can be a blessing of encouragement to others.

God has a simple design and order in which he has laid out in his word. His design is for all creation to be a pure and perfect reflection of his glory and wisdom. But as a direct result of the sin committed by the first two humans, all mankind is now in a state of brokenness. This brokenness is expressed in the various forms of unhealthy relationships, mis use of alcohol and drugs. To redeem mankind from his final and eternal judgement God has provide the good news of his plan through the person (I Cor. 15:1-9) of his dear son, Jesus. Let’s all get educated and equipped with these tools as we enter into service ministry of the gospel of God which, by the way is the only plan to achieve God’s plan of redemption.
Pastor Tony

2023 Calendar of Events
God has called us unto a holy calling to preach Christ in all nations, baptize those who believe on the Lord Jesus and to training those who will follow Jesus’ doctrine and teaching (Matt. 28:18-20). Our role and responsibility is to faithfully obey Him. We are excited about participating in “The Great Commission”, to be discipled and trained in the word of God, to share in fellowship of the saints and to encourage and share with one another in love. “And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works” Hebrews 10:twenty-four
"Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal." II Corinthians 4:16-18

Our worth as individuals is defined by the Lord in his word (Ps. 139:14), the word of God. We are many members but of one body with the potential of reaching the multitudes who need to be saved. Share, serve and love is what we do as we search the scriptures daily. Thank you for being a blessing
