The Lord our God used the Founders of this great Country to establish a Military force designed and intended to protect and defend its people and interest at home and abroad. Over the past 248 years, the United States of America has deployed, dispatched and ordered hundreds of thousands of men and women into service in the various areas of our military forces.

Today we offer our heart-felt prayers, support and extension of gratitude to every one of you for your honorable, faithful and dedicated service to the people of our Nation. We pray for God to give you direction, wisdom and hope in the midst of your work and labor as you have risked your life for the lives of so many.

May God’s grace be your sufficiency for all your needs and the needs of your families. May we from this day forward, as a country provide you with due respect, honor and appreciation equal to your efforts, individually and collectively

From our New Berean Family to yours in Christ Jesus our Lord

“First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. ³ This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, ⁴ who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” I Timothy 2:1-4

The fall is a time to harvest and reap what you’ve sown. God has set up the seasons to change so we might experience and appreciate his wisdom as displayed in the coordination of colors, complimentary weather changes and times of sowing and reaping.

We are grateful to be included in God’s great harvest work of salvation as extended towards us and to others. So, let us be about our Father’s business and take this time to share with those around us the good news of God’s eternal love, grace and hope in the person of his only beloved and begotten son, Jesus Christ. Happy Thanksgiving 🍽️

Discipleship Training – The Bible states of the disciples who chose to follow and obey Jesus’ command to share his message, “departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.” Acts 5:41. Some of us may say that witnessing or doing the work of an evangelist is not their calling but it really is the calling for every one of us (Matthew 28:18-20, Acts 1:8).

You are encouraged to join in and be a part of this dynamic and exiting experience happening every Tuesday night with Pastor Tony as he teaches and provides us with the tools to educate and equip us for ministry work and evangelizing with the gospel.
