Something unique happens when we say out loud what we are thinking in our hearts. That was why Paul wrote in Romans 10:9-10 that we need to believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, but we also need to declare with our mouths that Jesus is Lord.

Declare / Believe / Be Saved Bible Verse: “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is

Men, are we James or Judaizers? Do we put barriers of tradition and preference up between God and others? Or do we tear them down to make way for others to find the love of God?

Get Out of The Way! Bible Verse: “It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God.’” (Acts 15:19) Scripture

What do we do with suffering?

As men, we may not know how to process pain. On the one hand, we can be tempted to try and “fix it,” or, on the other hand, to “take it like a man” and try and ignore it. Neither is particularly helpful.

There are two common ways Christians typically approach suffering.

Sitting with Suffering There’s nothing like sitting with a friend over a great cup of coffee. But what if that friend was named “Suffering”? (I think I’d have my coffee to go,

Work. It can be a blessing and feel like a curse all at the same time. Jesus had some interesting things to say about work:

“Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you.” (John 6:27, NIV)

Did you notice it?

Seeing Beyond the Punch Clock Bible Verse: “Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him God the Father

Think about an area in your life where you are surrounded by the “pack.” What is something you can do to be in the “flock” instead?

Tell someone you trust and ask them to hold you accountable in that area.

From the Pack to the Flock Bible Verse: “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.” (Matthew 10:16) Scripture Reading:

As men, we seem to have a built-in desire for recognition. We feel the need to be praised for the things we do or accomplish. For the most part, it is built on the shaky platform of pride.

Humility: A Platform that Lasts for Eternity Bible Verse: “…the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants

This week, we will spend some time looking at Jesus, the God who lived among us, and see how He lived in this world but was not of the world.
