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.
Andrew is our remaining staff member who has eclipsed the six-year mark serving with NPBC, so we are sending him on sabbatical from Mon. 4/22 - Sun. 7/14. Visit npberean.org/sabbatical for details. If you have questions or would like more info, contact any elder or email us.
We need more Meal Leaders who can help plan and lead on the day of a funeral, Lunch with Leaders, Salvation Army meal, or MAT team gatherings. If you have helped with food in the past but would like to explore doing more, come to the training to find out more! Contact Robyn (or email us) if interested. Snacks will be provided!

Leading people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ goes far beyond North Platte Berean!
