2025 has begun!   What’s your plan for the new year?  2025 was so far into the future, most of us probably thought it would never happen. But now we are here!  So, do you have any special plans for the new year?  Here is what we know.   Even if you do not have one single thing on your agenda, God does.  Even if you do not have a relationship with Him, He is pursuing one with you.  Have you ever wondered if your life is what God wants it to be?

Holy Night for ALL the people

Because Jesus came we must… How would you finish that sentence? This week we will look at one final role the shepherds played on that Holy Night when Christ was born. There is a challenge for each of us within their example from that night.

Holy Night of Great Joy!

Holy Night…For ALL the People

Luke 2:8-15

Thank you for taking a moment to read this.  We don’t know who you are but God does.  He knew that today you would be randomly reading things online and come across this opportunity to connect with Him.  It is the time of year when Christmas is on everyone’s mind.  We don’t know how you

Jesus came for ALL the people.  

And yes, that ALL includes you and me.  It does not matter if you feel like an outcast. If you are a little economically less fortunate. If you have a work schedule that keeps you from

Nothing is impossible for God...

I cannot sum up the phrase that the angel Gabriel shared with Mary in this short description. What I can do is tell you that those words from the angel were both a declaration and an invitation. A declaration of the truth that nothing is impossible for God. An invitation for Mary and Joseph to remember all the ways God has done the impossible throughout the history of their people! It is also an invitation for us to remember the impossible works of Jesus and the impossible way that He loves us and has changed our lives.

Thanks for listening! We hope to meet you in person at Berea soon!

This week we have invited Dr. Jim Evans from Community Christian Counseling to join us. There has never been a greater need for Biblically based Christian Counseling. This ministry works with all ages and a variety of mental health and life issues that people face. We are grateful for the work that this ministry does throughout the Wabash Valley, across Indiana and even in other countries via online counseling.

We are really excited about the next few weeks here at Berea!  As we prepare for the holiday season, we are going to take a look at one of our greatest focuses here at Berea.  This family of believers has been devoted to this calling for a very long time.   

Missions are one way that we reach out to the world around us with the love of Jesus. This week we will be taking a look at 2 Corinthians 5:11-21. How are we to persuade others? What is it that Jesus' love compels us to do? How are we to view the world around us? What does it mean to be an ambassador for Christ?

We cannot wait to share these important truths with you!

Our theme for these next few weeks is “The Heart of God”. Throughout this series we will be highlighting a few of the missions we support here at Berea. Our family at Berea has a heart for missions. We have partnered with 17 different missions ranging from East Asia to right here in Brazil. It is incredible to see the ways that God is reaching people in need through these different ministries! But we long to be more than just a donor to these missions. We want to know them. We want to know their heart for God and the ways in which they are sharing the love of God with those they are reaching out to. We desire to have a relationship with every one of the missions we support.
This week we will be sharing with you a ministry based in Terre Haute. You might have even seen their mobile unit right here in Brazil. It is the Crisis Pregnancy Center of the Wabash Valley. This ministry’s mission to is support and encourage women and even the potential fathers who find themselves expecting a child and are uncertain what to do. This is a very important ministry that works every day to save the lives of the most vulnerable in our society and provide resources for expectant and new parents to provide for their child.

What an incredible day it was as we began to share with you the Heart of God through some of the missions that we support here at Berea Christian Church.
Today we sat down with the director of Camp Illiana, Ben Miller. We are excited to partner with this incredible camp and to see the ways that they are reaching out to children and students of all ages with the love of Jesus! We encourage you to listen to all that our camp does throughout the year. And we pray that you might consider sending your student or young child to camp in the Summer of '25!
