None of us are better than all of us. Get connected with one or more groups today.
We have multiple groups for men to get connected and dig into the Word
Whether it is camping trips, hockey games, baseball games or yearly retreats. We engage.
After learning about the region last week, we engage with the group as the visit the region on what is known as “Paul’s first missionary journey”, but there is a lot more than what we might relate to a “mission trip” The apostle Paul went on three pioneering missionary journeys, followed by a trip to Rome.…
We read a lot about Paul traveling around and sharing the Good News; we hear of many different people that were with Paul. He seems to be all over the place and we get many letters from Paul addressing many places and we can get a bit confused on timing and reasoning behind some of…
Over the past 7 sessions we have learned a lot about the Kingdom of Heaven and what it is like. We grasp the reality of the challenges and also the blessings. The truth that needs to be realized is that there was not only a sacrifice by God for us, but a cost that we…
As we continue in the parables about the Kingdom of Heaven, we continue to learn about parables and allegories, this week is no exception.
