We focus on God’s Word, and allow those not in attendance at a local church or during the week to reap the fruit of God’s Word as preached and taught at Berean Bible Ministries.
It is Critical to Know Why We Were Saved – Philippians 1:1-5 & 7
It’s important for every Christian to know how they are saved… But it’s more important to know why they were saved! The Apostle Paul begins the book of Philippians by addressing this idea and then explains how critical it is that every Christian knows why we were saved.
Defending The Gospel And Confirming The Gospel
Defending the Gospel and confirming The Gospel are two important things every Christian should understand. They seem very similar ideas, but they are different concepts.
Broken Pottery and The Master Potter – 2nd Corinthians 4:7-10
Life is full of challenges, and sometimes life is hard. Once a Christian is home with The Lord, we have left these challenges behind. But while we are here, life results in scratched, cracked, and broken pottery. When our lives are like broken pottery, where do we turn?
Christ and the Church & Husbands and Wives – Eph 5 21-33
Ephesians Chapter 5 is one of the most misunderstood passages in the new testament. It has become a “bone of contention” between men and women, between husbands and wives, between liberals and conservatives, and between Christians and Non-Christians. Many in the world around us believe this passage is at the very least demeaning and degrading to women, (“submit…be subject”).
In fact, the exact opposite is true, and it may very well be that no other passage in scripture is as beneficial for husbands and wives and marriage in general as Ephesians 5!
Fruit of the Spirit – Part 1
Why study the Fruit of the Spirit? First, it helps us know if we have grown from being a believer to a disciple! And second, it is one of the most powerful testimonies of a changed life because of Jesus Christ! And it helps us deal with difficult situations and difficult people!
First Love – Revelation 2 2-7
The book of Ephesians was written by the church founder, Paul himself, and had no strong criticism or corrections for The Church at Ephesus. The Church at Ephesus was the healthiest, most influential church of that time and Ephesus founded many other churches. The Book of Ephesians is full of things to further a Christian’s growth, and is a treasure chest of theology and life application!
Then… 40 years later, a 2nd letter is penned to The Church at Ephesus and tells them they have “lost their first love!” What could possibly have happened?
Building Up The Body – Part 1
When the church in America thinks about building up the body, (The Church), people tend to think about increasing numbers, increasing church attendance, building a newer better building or having better church programs, or maybe about getting a better pastor. Unfortunately, these strategies often fail to help young believers become strong, mature disciples, or “build The Body of Christ or The Church”.
Finding Your Identity – Ephesians 1 1-4 & 2-10 BBM
The world around us defines a person’s identity in many ways. Often by what profession you have, by what you are passionate about, by what culture or race you are, or by your appearance. All of these at some level, are used to define you or your identity by the world around us. But from God’s perspective, he defines your Christian identity differently.
To Die is Gain – 2 Cor 5:1- 5
For most people everywhere, what happens when we die is at the very least an “unknown”. For many, it is a fearful event that haunts a person throughout life, especially as we age. Over time, the human body will break down and our health will fail. How we invest our life before our last breath and what happens after that is beautifully addressed by God when he addresses our “worn tent” and what “to die is gain” means.
Easter Sunday, BBM, (A Sunday Miracle)
For the world around us, Easter has become a day about “baskets & bonnets, egg hunts & candy, a family dinner & perhaps something vaguely religious. But for the Christian, Easter Sunday is one of the two most important days of the calendar year. Actually, once we understand what Easter really means, it is the most important Sunday of the year!
Building Up The Body – Part 2 BBM
When The Church in America thinks about building up the body, (The Church), people tend to think about increasing numbers, increasing church attendance, building a newer better building or having better church programs, or maybe about getting a better pastor. Unfortunately, these strategies often fail to help young believers become strong, mature disciples, or “build The Body of Christ or The Church”.
