Month: October 2018

We’re in week 2 of our new study, “Act Like Men” by James MacDonald.  Recall that the book is divided into five sections, with each of those sections having eight chapters.  Have I lost you yet?

Those five sections are:

-Act Like Men

-Be Watchful

-Stand Firm in the Faith

-Be Strong

-Let All That You Do Be Done in Love

Now if the words of those sections sound familiar, then you’re on the right track with the book’s primary theme that comes to us from scripture:

“Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.  Let all that you do be done in love.”  1 COR 16:13-14

Last week we started out at an easy pace out of the starting blocks.  And we’re picking up our stride a little bit this week……lean forward and pump those arms!

HOMEWORK is to read Chapter 2 and Chapter 3; “A Quality Man” and “Not a Quality Man”, respectively.  These are very short chapters but focus on the questions and reflections at the end of each chapter as those will be the basis for our discussion.

Mike will lead this week.  Gather in the parlor room at the Cornwell Center starting at 7:30 am.  We’ll pick up the pace promptly at 7:45 am.

See you then!

 

Hurricane Michael slowed us down a little bit last week, resulting in our meeting locations being closed.  The power was out, too, so that made matters a little worse.  This week, we’re back on track with plans to “kickoff” our new series, Act Like Men by James MacDonald.  Your homework this week is fairly light….read the book’s Forward, Introduction, and Chapter 1: Acting Like Men.

I’ll have a tentative schedule for this series to share on Friday.  Looking closely at the best way to break up the book.

As always, come regardless if you’ve read ahead of time or even gotten the book!  You’ll also leave more fulfilled through insight and fellowship.  I hope to see you on Friday!

Cornwell Center front parlor room.  Gather starting at 7:30 am.  I’ll introduce our new series starting at 7:45 am.

Peace!

Our meeting location, The Cornwell Center, will be closing early today, 10/11, and will have a delayed opening on Friday, 10/12.  As such, and taking safely into consideration, we are going to cancel this Friday’s FMMF and will introduce the new series NEXT Friday, 10/19.

The streets around Myers Park look like a war zone right now, with fallen down trees and debris.  Please be careful out there!

Prayers for our city and all those impacted by this storm along the Florida Panhandle, as well as Georgia and the Carolinas.

Peace!

Okay, buckle up, men.  We’re at the start of our next study series, “Act Like Men” by James MacDonald.  I don’t have a set schedule, yet….the plan is to see how the first couple of weeks go, and we’ll plan things out after that.  This week, homework is to read the book’s Forward, Introduction and Chapter 1 (Acting Like Men).  Those three sections, albeit a little short in pages, provide an excellent foundation for the book ahead.

This week, Mike leads us using the scripture passage from 1 Corinthians 13: 11 as our backdrop.

“When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away my childish things.” (KJV)

If you haven’t ordered the book yet, do that at this LINK.  And even if you don’t have the book, show up on Friday!  With what I see as a long series ahead, you’ll still have plenty of time to make that purchase!

See you this Friday, ready to go by 7:45 am at The Cornwell Center.

Alright, alright…..alright!

Peace!
