Dear Berean Family,

“Cheer up. Things could be worse,” he said. “So I did. I cheered up, and sure enough things got worse.” Maybe you feel that way as you read how Paul in 2 Timothy 3 describes the “last days.” He uses a particular word to describe them in verse 1. Some versions translate it as “perilous.” Others translate it as “difficult” and “terrifying.” The Greek word is only used one other place in the New Testament to describe the demon-possessed men who met Jesus coming out of the tombs. There we are told they were “so fierce, no one could pass that way” (ESV). In other words, the last days will be dangerous. Paul goes on to describe with bleak detail what exactly that means, but he also had some last days counsel for young Timothy. We will look at this Scriptural counsel this Sunday.

Here is our normal schedule of services:

Sunday morning: 10:00 AM service, live streamed and broadcast to the parking lot

Christmas events are coming soon. Invite your friends and neighbors.

Lord willing, I (Steve) will be preaching from 2 Timothy 3 this Sunday. On Sunday evening, we will be having coffee, refreshments, singing and a message. Pray for our AWANA workers, children and young people.

Keep praying. Please continue to call, encourage and pray for one another.  Phone a friend or write a note. It will encourage you both. Also, invite friends and family to come this Sunday. We love you and are praying for you.  

In Him, 

Pastor Steve
