RALLY POINT – MEN AT WAR

Men (and young men age 10+), you are invited to our next Rally Point on March 18th, 7:30-9 AM.  I will be speaking on the theme: Men at War.  It is so important for Christian men to realize that we live our lives in the context of a massive war.  In order to be effective in the fight, we need to be purposeful and live our lives with a biblical, wartime mindset.  The Scriptures have much to say for us in this regard.  Come enjoy a good breakfast and learn more about how to live intentionally and effectively in the midst of this great battle. – Pastor Jeremy

Courage: Fighting Fear with Fear By Wayne and Joshua Mack
Fear is so much a part of the human experience that we may think there is no escape. Our own earthly solutions fall short, but God has offered us a better remedy: a spirit of “power and love and discipline” (2 Tim. 1:7) that can overcome fear of others, irrational fear, and sinful fear. Through short lessons and discussion questions, Wayne and Joshua Mack show how we can find true courage by fearing God and trusting in him alone. By learning how the fear of God drives out all other fears, a strong foundation is laid for courage in every situation.

You may buy it on Amazon or Christian Book Distributors or check it out from the bookshelf outside the Office.

When the Darkness Will Not Lift by John Piper
Even the most faithful, focused Christians can encounter periods of depression and spiritual darkness when joy seems to stay just out of reach. It can happen because of sin, satanic assault, distressing circumstances, or hereditary and other physical causes. In this book, John Piper aims to give some comfort and guidance to those experiencing spiritual darkness.

Readers will gain insight into the physical side of depression and spiritual darkness, what it means to wait on the Lord in a time of darkness, how unconfessed sin can clog our joy, and how to minister to others who are living without light. Piper uses real-life examples and sensitive narrative to show readers abundant reason to hope that God will pull them out of the pit of despair and into the light once again.

The e-book is available for free download here, you can also borrow the book from the Church Library or purchase book online.
