Berean Baptist Church

What was the mission of Jesus? Why did He come and what was the message that He preached? In Mark 1, we see Jesus announcing the kingdom of God had come and inviting all to faith and repentance for salvation. Have you responded to this call? Are you joining Jesus in this mission of proclaiming hope to the world?

Today, we celebrate Easter, the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. His resurrection changes everything and gives us a light of hope in the darkest night of our sin and in the shadow of death. Jesus changes everything, He came as the conquering King!

We serve a King who suffered for us. He knows your pain, He experienced the worst rejection and suffering and He willingly took it on His shoulders to have a relationship with you. He invites you into a relationship with Him. Draw near to Him today, near to the throne of grace to find mercy and help in time of need.  

King Jesus came as a servant. He came not to be served but to serve and give His life as a ransom for many. If Jesus was willing to serve, so should we be willing to serve and prefer one another above ourselves.

We have a King who is loving and this is the greatest news. Join us as Pastor Dan launches our Easter series as we look at the identity of the King of Kings. Our King loves, and we should love one another.
