Men Gather to Make a Difference for our Lord

Men in every generation have dreamed of having a meaningful life that makes a difference. We try to find purpose and fulfillment in our careers, accomplishments and relationships. Too often, however, we end up empty, unfulfilled and yearning for more. Come join us for an exciting time of food and fellowship as we strive to live a life filled with meaning, purpose and joy. Together, we will become men who make a difference.

2 Timothy 2:20-22
If we want to be noble and useful to the master, we need to cleanse ourselves from the ignoble, from temptations. As men, we must become aware of our enemy. Pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace. Make noble plans. You can’t do this alone.

Ephesians 3:10
Need relationships in the church to help you be faithful. There is a spiritual war going on.

Jesus died for us even while we were still sinners. Need a group of people called together for a common purpose–that’s church.

John 13:34-35
Love one another as Jesus did. You will not be a man who makes a difference by yourself. People who share common direction will go farther, encourage each other. We need each other.

If one member falls, help them. Be a role model for those who are hurting. Get vision and get vulnerable. Vision demands training in order to implement that vision. Then you can have a victory for God. Believe that God can use you to make a difference.

This lesson also has an interactive session wherein the following men shared about men who made a difference in their life: Chris Wooden, David Cadell, Theo Dawson, Sr., Nick Donnelly and Pat Boea, Jr.

Philippians 1:21-24
To live is Christ and to die is gain. If you go on living, have fruitful labor. There is nothing on earth that is worth the glory of being with God in heaven. Paul remained on earth to help others be joyful in Christ. The reason you should want to stay on earth longer is to give–to have fruitful labor.

Hebrews 3:12 We need each other. Be men who make a difference in this world–to win souls.
