Now THAT was a great message!
Hey, all…
For those of you who missed the all-EVBC Men’s Breakfast on Saturday the 18th…well, you missed a good one. LJ Richardson gave his testimony (a tear jerker!), Tim Maughn and the Sunday Six band led worship, and Jim Harper gave a message based around the TV series “Band of Brothers.” Let me share the [...]

Breakfast Saturday! (oct. 4)
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?

GW – Genuineness: Being “Real”
(My apologies for not blogging in a long time – we’ll try to be more faithful over the next two weeks!)

GW – Committed: Disciplined Worship
The fifth hallmark of genuine worship is that it is a commitment. That it is a part of our :discipleship” … which comes from the same word as “discipline” … which calls to mind this passage from the book of Hebrews:

GW – Corporate: How WE Pray
(Kudos to my lovely wife for reminding me of the truth that the Lord’s Prayer is a call to corporate worship!)
LUKE 11
One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.” He said to them, [...]
