Looking for announcements? They're in the app!

We’re launching the NP Berean app to help us communicate and connect better as a church! Over the past few weeks, we’ve transitioned our giving and check-ins, so now we’re ready to start logging into the app. Just search NP Berean in your app store or go to npberean.org/app to download the app, then log in with your email address. (Haven’t logged into online giving yet? When the app login asks for your email and password, choose Create an account.) We’ll be adding more great features to the app over the next several weeks!

We have some exciting changes coming soon to help us communicate and connect better as a church! We don’t want to get overwhelmed by changing everything at once, so we’re starting with Giving. If you click on the Give Online button, you’ll see it now takes you to our new giving provider, Subsplash.

Note: If you had a recurring gift set up with our outgoing provider, don’t worry – that gift will continue for now until we can contact you directly and help you make the transition! In the meantime, you can still log in to edit those at npberean.org/give. Please contact Dan Smith (or email us) with any questions.

How can we confidently live with no fear? Join in as we marvel at how Jesus’ resurrection makes it possible!

• When: Sunday, March 31 – join in at 8, 9:30, or 11 a.m. (or video watch party at 6 p.m.)

• Where: North Platte Berean Church, 202 W 8th St, in the Auditorium or 252 Room

• Who: Anyone! Invite a friend, neighbor, coworker, cashier, or anyone else who might be looking for a caring spiritual community. (Invitations will be available in the foyer and at the Info Center.)

• Cinnamon rolls: Bring a dozen to share, or just come enjoy!

• Families: We will have a staffed Nursery and Toddlers room. PreK and 252 will be joining their families for this Generations Sunday!

Everyone struggles with fear of some sort. It could be about the uncertainty of the future, a current health concern, a conversation that needs to be had, an unsettled relationship – opportunities to fear are everywhere. But where does that fear really come from?

If we think about it, all fear is really rooted in death. Death feels like such an end – a dire separation and a goodbye to our dreams, our hopes, and our joy.

So on Easter, as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ, we’re reminded that death doesn’t get the last word. With Jesus, life occurs after death – which means the fear of permanent loss has lost its sting! And that’s how the Resurrection frees us to confidently live with no fear.

How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God

And time is in His hands

The Lion and the Lamb
The Lion and the Lamb

Worthy of our praise
My heart will sing

Great is Thy faithfulness
O God my Father
There is no shadow of
Turning with Thee
Thou changest not
Thy compassions they fail not
As Thou hast been
Thou forever will be

Morning by morning New mercies I see
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness Lord unto me

And springtime and harvest
Sun moon and stars
In their courses above
Join with all nature
In manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness
Mercy and love

Pardon for sin and a
Peace that endureth
Thine own dear presence
To cheer and to guide
Strength for today and
Bright hope for tomorrow
Blessings all mine with
Ten thousand beside
