People are out in the streets, laughing, shopping and gathering for various holiday festivities. As so are we. Let us take this special time to open up and engage others in a conversation about Jesus, who is the real reason for the season.

Life seems to be in such chaos, with all the violence, political unrest and multitude of wars around the world. But that’s not the way it was originally. God’s original design was his human creation interacting with one another, with his animal and earthly creations. All carrying on in harmony and having fellowship with him (Gen 1, 2).

The sin was introduced into the perfect environment through the rebellion and disobedience of Adam and Eve, all of mankind and the earth as it was once known was cast into a downward spiral of continue and destructive direction (Gen. 3, Rom. 5:12). Once God’s design was broken, mankind has attempted to recapture that communion and fellowship with the environment. The problem is and has been the attempt is being done man’s own way and not by God’s divine order (Rom. 1:21-23).

The 3 Circles of Evangelism image, helps us understand how sin broke and disrupted God’s design and how order can be restored. Mankind, broken as we are, has attempted to recover itself through various vices and have created other issues and problems that have made even more chaos and confusion.

The bottom line is God wants us to be restored through repentance, prayer and faithful obedience to the Gospel, the Good News of his love and grace (Titus 2:11-14).

Life on Mission has provided us with some easy tools to help share the faith in God.

Missionary as defined is a person sent on an assignment to carry a message to a foreign or other land and country. Here at New Berean, we accept the reality that all of us as believers are called and assigned by the Lord to carry the message of the cross to other across the planet. After his resurrection from the dead, Jesus assigned his disciples to take the word of God’s grace as extended through his finished work on the cross to the heart and eats or everyone (Mark 16:14-16). While some have taken this assignment as their personal calling in the ministry, all of us as disciples and followers of the Lord have this assignment as well and we do it practically through our “Marketplace Evangelism” initiative and support to those on the mission field.

Our mission support here at New Berean extends to Costa Rica, The Philippines, Ceraso (in the Caribbean) and India

The Stores are the Doors to Evangelizing the World

Beginning this week, join Pastor Tony as he takes us through the Acts of the Apostles to learn what “marketplace Evangelism” and how we can employ it in our society to win people to Christ.

The BereanWay – Equipping and Educating the Saints for Ministry

As our world spirals downward and increasingly away from the things of Christ, we as believers must be about our Father’s Business. Pastor Tony has begun a training series designed at helping us as believers and disciples to be equipped and educated in the teachings of our Lord (Matt. 28:20). It’s The BereanWay, join us.

Thanks to all of you who came out and are helping us get The BereanWay Strategic Planning process off the ground. We all are excited about the changes the Lord is making and about to make in us.

From the heart of the Pastor, Sister Samantha, the rest of the Harris family and the Staff, blessings to you the New Berean. Thank you for everything, every one of you of Team Berea for blessing our new Pastor, his family, our guests and the New Berean Berean family. We believe the Lord is pleased with the completion of the installation process. God has given us a pastor after his own heart (Jer. 3:15) and we have one in “Pastor Tony”. Now we are poised and ready to begin following our Pastor’s god-ordained vision of The BereanWay. Through our faithful obedience to the Lord, his word and the leadership of his under-shepherd, we can serve and reach out to our community, City and beyond and our light will so shine that many will see our good works, our Father will be glorified.

Trunk-O-Treat – Why?

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.

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.

To God be the glory for the great things he has done! Click on the image to capture the moment of God’s grace and favor.
