Hey, Fourth Seeders…
It’s that time again…time for a great breakfast on Saturday morning, 7:00a, at the Superstition Springs Golf Club. Last month, we had our largest group yet. Let’s have even more this week!
MEN WHO?
Last month, we began a six-topic series that I’m personally very impassioned about. Increasingly, we men in Mesa are convinced that God would have us do greater, more fruitful, more aggressive gospel ministry in our city. This could take the form of an eventual church plant, or perhaps simply a more focused Area Ministry approach. In any case, we need to be asking ourselves some important questions. Who does God want us to be in these days ahead? What are the hallmarks of effective, godly men? And where do we need to grow to be the most productive and fruitful?
Last month, our topic was “MEN WHO LOVE.” We looked square at the Word and saw that God’s call for us is to love our world, both sacrificially and emotionally. We talked about how human beings are wonderful, and are worthy of our genuine interest, curiosity and exploration. If we’re to be effective in ministry, we increasingly need to see other human beings as wonderful and fascinating? How is that been working for you this past month?
This month, we’re going to nail God’s call on us to be “MEN WHO LEARN.” At evbc, the “b” is a different color. Why? Because we believe strongly in the Word, the Bible. But, do we devote ourselves to the scriptures the way we need to in order both to reach our world and to pass down a well-crafted, orthodox faith to the generations to come? Join us Saturday, and be open to a bolder, deeper vision of becoming a man who, as Paul charged Timothy, “correctly handles the Word of truth.”
I look forward to seeing you soon – God’s best to you all,
Bill
