Frustrated Yet?
It may not be for the reason you assume.
It may be because you’ve not considered The Cultural Mandate.
See what I mean in this video.
You were made to do more than just consume.
Create some culture!
Pain – The Substitute Teacher : Series
A new sermon series – starting 4/19/20 at 10:45 am on Facebook and YouTube.
Does pain have value?
In his book Leadership Pain: The Classroom for Growth, Samuel Chand suggests that pain can teach us things.
Sunday morning’s message (4/19/20) begins a series where we’ll consider that pain may be a teacher that comes with its own curriculum.
And that curriculum is valuable.
Men Pray Together…

We talked about things like changes in business and working, being productive, overcoming loneliness, stress, family members, growing close to God, being close to family, managing schedules, serving God, being healthy emotionally and spiritually and physically.
This is church.
We discussed helpful ideas.
This is church.
We shared good advice.
This is church.
And we prayed.
This is church.

New Sermon Series
April, 2020
After an extensive tour of the United States, German pastor and theologian Helmut Thielicke was asked what he saw is the greatest defect among American Christians. He replied, “They have an inadequate view of suffering.” (Philip Yancey in Where Is God when it Hurts?)
This is a sobering suggestion.
And if it’s true, we probably ought to address it.
This Sunday marks the beginning of a new sermon series viewing pain as a “substitute teacher”.
Are there lessons we can learn through suffering that would be of benefit to us – things we could not discover apart from pain?
This series came to my mind several weeks ago as I was reading Samuel Chan’s book, Leadership Pain: The Classroom for Growth. It appears it might be a timely topic. In the the next several weeks, I hope to flesh out five specific lessons from Chand’s chapter, You Gotta Love It.
Pray that the Holy Spirit will use this series to communicate biblical concepts that will help us view our lives and the events that fill them from the perspective God would desire.
