Greetings!

My name is Jeff Banks and I’m the Senior Pastor at Monument Bible Church. God is at work here in the panhandle of Nebraska and we are excited to be part of what He is doing.  Monument is a close church family with a deep love for one another and for our community. Our church includes people from all walks of life and varying experiences. We have a diversity of ages from children, young adults, newly married, mid-lifers, empty nesters and senior saints! I hope you will come visit us and discover the love of God and the love of our church family as we carry out our mission of making dedicated followers of Jesus Christ who worship, grow, love and share all for the glory of God!

Our desire is that you feel welcome when you visit us on Sunday mornings. Come in your jeans or dress up if that is what you feel comfortable in. The important things is that you are able to connect and take your next step of faith. You can expect practical and in-depth teaching from the bible (we are passionate about communicating God's Word!) and a worship style that is a blend of contemporary worship music and a hymn or two.  Our service lasts about an hour and twenty minutes. Nursery and children's church are available for kids up to age 5. There are two primary entrances to our building, both on the east side. The doors at the north end are closest to the sanctuary. Our covered, south end entrance will lead  you into the gym.

July 2019 Greetings Monument Bible Church Family! The heat of the summer has finally arrived and I’m loving every minute. Call me “crazy” but I’d rather be hot than cold, any day. Last week’s heat wave that suddenly hit reminded me of this vivid description of God’s design for the sun in Psalm 19:4b-6: In the sky he has pitched a tent for the sun. Like a bridegroom it emerges from its chamber; like a strong man it enjoys running its course. It emerges from the distant horizon, and goes from one end of the sky to the other; nothing can escape its heat.” (NET)  Every sunrise is the result of God’s sovereign design as Creator. Every day you feel the warmth of the sun is a gift from God. I hope you’ll enjoy each sun-soaked day that the Lord gives us this summer. Thus far, it’s been a great summer at Monument Bible. We had an amazing week of Vacation Bible School – there were over 60 kids who heard the good news of God’s love – thanks again to everyone who donated items or helped during the week. I’m really excited about what’s to come. Here are couple things I want to highlight:  Flannel Board Favorites (Summer Sermon Series) - There was a time when some of the greatest bible stories were taught in children's Sunday School by using fabric cut-outs of characters that stick to a flannel board. The methods have changed but the life-changing truths of these stories remain the same. Each Sunday  we’re going to take a fresh and deeper look at one of these favorite bible stories you might have heard as a kid, or maybe you have never heard at all! Ask the Pastor! – Have you ever wanted to ask your pastor a question about the Bible, doctrine, ministry, theology, marriage, music, parenting, or ___________ (fill in the blank)? Well, here’s your golden opportunity! This summer we’re going to have “Ask the Pastor” during Adult Bible Fellowship from 9:30-10:30 a.m. (July 28-Aug. 18)  Questions need to be submitted in advance (by July 21st) and will remain anonymous. You can submit your question(s) online at www.monumentbiblechurch.com/ask or text your question to Adult Ministries Team Member, Josh Lively, at 308.430.2357. Pastor Jake and I look forward to answering your questions! I hope many of you will participate! Please take a moment to continue reading this month’s Monument Messenger to learn more about all of the great summer ministries and activities happening at MBC. May God’s goodness and grace sustain us this summer as we strive to develop dedicated followers of Jesus who worship, grow, love, and share all for the glory of God!  I love you all – serve Him well!  Pastor Jeff  Some VBS  Pictures! We are “bowled” over by all of you who willingly sacrificed your time and effort over this past ministry year! We are celebrating YOU with a party! If you volunteered in any area, please join us for a night of food and fun at the Bowl Arena on Tuesday, July 23rd at 6:30 p.m. (Spouses welcome!)

We are doing something a little different at the end of the month and into August on Sunday mornings for Adult Bible Fellowship at 9:30 a.m. Pastor Jeff and Pastor Jake will be answering questions from all of us in a series called, "ASK THE PASTOR!" Is there something you have been wondering about in regards to a certain Scripture passage or doctrine? Have you been curious about our pastors' thoughts or biblical stance on a certain topic? Are looking for some biblical wisdom regarding a life issue you are facing? Do you just want to know how our pastors spend their time each week?□   All questions need to be submitted in advance and are anonymous.

The Gospel Project take kids on a Christ-centered, chronological journey through Scripture. Kids will discover how the gospel unfolds from Genesis through Revelation. When kids truly experience the gospel, their hearts are transformed. Children can join anytime, but this month would be a good time because we are starting a new Gospel Project unit called "A Kingdom Established" which teaches kids about Israel’s first human kings, Saul, David, and Solomon, and their last and perfect King, Jesus. Additionally, kids will learn despite Solomon’s great wisdom, he sinned causing the kingdom to divide in two, reminding us of our need for Jesus, the sinless King who rules perfectly. Sessions also include both Solomon’s search for meaning in life and Job’s search for meaning in his suffering, and the answer to their searches that is found only in Jesus, who gives us reason to praise God even in confusing times.  If your children aren't currently attending, would you prayerfully consider bringing them on Sunday mornings from 9:30-10:30 a.m. We have dedicated teachers who are eager to nurture your child's faith and come alongside you to be a part of laying a solid biblical foundation for their lives. If you have any questions about how to get your child involved, please contact our Children's Team Leader, Laura Leggott at 308.641.1226.    More JULY Happenings! Love in Action, Wednesday, July 10th, 12:30-3:00 p.m. - We would love your help serving at this local food pantry at 1032 O St. in Gering. For more information contact Laura Leggott at  308-641-1226.
