Accepting People Who Are “Different”

in ROMANS 12-16: Putting Your Faith Into Action

What kind of people do you find it difficult to accept? Is it a personality type? Those with weak faith? People from different cultures and traditions? Or, maybe you’re the one from the different culture or the one with weak faith, and you feel like people judge you and look down on you.

In this lesson, Patrick Morley will show you the key to accepting people who are different than you. You don’t have to be stuck in that rut of being annoyed by others. There’s an easy way out, and Paul wants to show you how. Hope to see you there. There is strength in numbers!

Verses referenced in this lesson:
Romans 15:7-13

Mentoring Recap: Getting a Man to Say Yes

in Mentoring Recap: Men Reaching Men

So how exactly do men develop relationships? We tend to bond in shared experiences (verses shared conversations), and there’s a definite progression. You can see it in the way that Jesus built a seemingly random group of strangers into a band of brothers ready to die for their cause. You’ll gain some new insights and tools as we look at God’s Word together and see how Jesus himself built intentional spiritual friendships.

Getting a Man to Say Yes

in Men Reaching Men

The Big Idea: An intentional spiritual friendship is built over time. It’s a relationship, not a transaction.

So how exactly do men develop relationships? We tend to bond in shared experiences (verses shared conversations), and there’s a definite progression. You can see it in the way that Jesus built a seemingly random group of strangers into a band of brothers ready to die for their cause. It’s been an amazing few weeks of learning how we can engage men in discipleship!

How to Handle Disappointment

in Men Reaching Men

The Big Idea: Jesus called us to go, not to wait and see if they come to us.

In the previous two messages, we’ve been given several ways to get involved in a man’s life and help him move forward in his walk with Christ. But anyone who has ever tried to help another person knows that it almost inevitably leads to disappointment. What do we do when we want men to grow more than they want to grow? And where does the disappointment really come from?

How One Cup of Coffee Can Change the World

in Men Reaching Men

Ezekiel: How God Makes Men So They Can Complete Their Mission

in How God Makes Men Part 2 (2014)

The Big Idea: God will never give you a mission without also giving you everything you need to be faithful.

We live in a broken generation because, for the most part, people have been doing what seems right in their own eyes. They have exchanged the truth of God for lies, and the glory of God for idols. They are desperately off track. And they don’t know how to get back on track. They need a message from God. It was against a similar backdrop that the Lord called Ezekiel to take God’s message to his generation. In this lesson, using Ezekiel as a foil, we’ll look at how God wants to call, equip, and send each of us to our own generation too

SynopsisTranscriptDownloadsSynopsis The Big Idea: If you don’t have enough time for your family, you can be 100% certain that you are not following God’s will for your life. Let's be honest.

Purpose: Why Do I Exist?

SynopsisTranscriptDownloadsSynopsis The Big Idea: I will feel most alive, most useful, and most significant when I am doing what God created me to do. It's just a fact of life.

Leading an Unexamined Life

in The Man in the Mirror (2014)
SynopsisTranscriptDownloadsSynopsis The Big Idea: It is for a lack of discipleship that men lead unexamined lives. We all want the same things--something we can give our lives to that will make a difference, someone to share our lives with, and a belief system that makes sense of why life is so hard. Christianity and secularism [...]

The Rat Race

The Principle of Success That Matters

in How God Makes Men Part 2 (2014)

The Big Idea: Success that matters is to be a disciple: called to live “in” Christ, equipped to live “like” Christ, sent to live “for” Christ.

All men want to be successful. And Jesus himself promised an “abundant” life. Yet a lot of us would say our lives are anything but abundant. So what exactly did He mean? Does God want you to lead an abundant life? And if so, what steps can we take to find success that matters?

The Principle of Reproducing Yourself

in How God Makes Men Part 2 (2014)

The Big Idea: Making disciples is God’s designated way to release the power of His gospel on every problem we face.

Everyone knows we have a “men problem.” The collateral damage among women and children has been staggering–with no relief in sight. I know you care. Yet if you’re like most of us, you can’t help but wonder, What difference could I possibly make? I’m just one man. If you’ve been wondering what you can do, this is the lesson you’ve been waiting for. We each have a choice. We can sit in front of the TV and yell at the evening news, or we can do something about it.
