More Than a Few Good Men
Remember the Marines' recruiting slogan, "Looking for a few good men"? Jesus is looking for more than just a "few." He wants all men everywhere to believe the gospel, put sin to death in their own lives, and to be strong and courageous grace-filled leaders at home and in their respective callings. And he's enlisted us in his recruiting mission.
MEN'S BIBLE STUDY
6:30am Friday mornings and 7pm Wednesday evenings, men get together at "The Cabin" (our future building site at 1686 Lake Murray Blvd.) to enjoy a fresh cup of coffee while we dive into God's Word and talk about how believing it and doing it affects not just us, but everyone around us. Several men have reported how impactful this time together has been - in the way they approach their work, love their wives, raise their children, and above all, honor Christ who called them to walk in a manner worthy of the calling, (Ephesians 4:1).
- CURRENT STUDY: The Book of Proverbs
God designed men a particular way for a particular purpose. When men operate in the role God has given them, he thrives. Families thrive. Churches thrive. Communities, cities, and entire countries thrive. History has proven where we see mankind not thriving, we see men abdicating their responsibility to be who God has called them to be.
The Book of Proverbs is as close to a "manual" a man can have for wise instruction on living purposefully and faithfully as a man of God.
truth is, Jesus calls men to hard things... and men can't do it alone.
"Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another," (Proverbs 27:17). At King's Church, we want our men to grow deep roots in the truth of God's Word. Certainly for their own benefit but for the benefit of others. That doesn't happen on accident and it doesn't happen alone.
"But as for you, teach what accords with sound doctrine. Older men are to be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness… Likewise, urge the younger men to be self-controlled. Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity, and sound speech that cannot be condemned, so that an opponent may be put to shame, having nothing evil to say about us," (Titus 2:1-2, 6-8).
MEN'S GATHERINGS
Sometimes it's just good to get the fella's together and have a good time. Sometimes it's an outdoor shooting range, bowling, axe-throwing, a Men's Breakfast at someone's house, or just hanging out around a fire and sharing some laughs.
These gatherings happen frequently enough so if something gets planned on a day you can't make it, you can be sure to be invited to the next one.
