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!

When you visit:
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 thing 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.

View this email in your browser February 2020 Monument Family, How’s your love life? Typically, this question is asked in the context of romantic relationships. February is the month that has one day set aside to celebrate this kind of love, but it isn't the end all be all. Our love life is bigger than romantic love. “How’s your love life?” is a good question for all people—those who are widowed, married, divorced, engaged, dating, and single—everyone needs love and needs to love. Take a minute to ponder what God’s Word has to say about our love life. 1 John 3:1 - How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God (NIV)   Matthew 22:36-39 - “Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” Jesus said to him, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. The second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ (NET)   Ephesians 5:2 - “Watch what God does, and then you do it, like children who learn proper behavior from their parents. Mostly what God does is love you. Keep company with him and learn a life of love. Observe how Christ loved us. His love was not cautious but extravagant. He didn’t love in order to get something from us but to give everything of himself to us. Love like that.” (The Message) May our hearts rejoice in the love that has been lavished upon us. May we love God with all our being. May we strive to love others in the same way Christ has loved us (extravagantly and sacrificially). Let’s be a church that celebrates God’s love for us and is committed to loving Him and loving others. Our love life matters to God and it’s a part of our disciple-making mission. We exist to develop dedicated followers of Jesus who worship, grow, love, and share all for the glory of God. Let’s go live a life of love!
