Altoona First Southern Baptist Church Men's Ministry Blog
Welcome to the Altoona First Southern Baptist Church
Men of Courage Ministry
We welcome you to attend our monthly Men's Ministry meeting. The meeting is scheduled for the 3rd Saturday of each month at the Church. We also welcome your prayer requests. Please see below for all the details.
THE OFFER STILL STANDS!
God’s Purpose:
God loves us and has a purpose for our lives. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 God’s purpose is that we have eternal life.
We receive eternal life as a free gift (Romans 6:23).
We can live a full and meaningful life right now (John 10:10).
We will spend eternity with Jesus in heaven (John 14:3).
Our Need:
As we search for meaning in life, we discover our sinful nature keeps us from fulfilling God’s purpose for our lives.
We are all sinners by nature and by choice. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” Romans 3:23.
We cannot save ourselves (Ephesians 2:9).
We deserve death and hell (Romans 6:23).
God’s Provision:
God is holy and just and must punish sin. Yet He loves us and provides forgiveness for our sin. Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh to the Father but by me.” John 14:6
Jesus is God and became man (John 1:1,14).
Jesus died for us on the cross (1 Peter 3:18).
THE OFFER STILL STANDS!
Our Response:
The only way Jesus can affect our lives is for us to receive Him.
“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name” John 1:12.
“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out...” Acts 3:19.
Repentance is turning away from our sin and turning to God.
We must place our faith in Jesus. “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is a gift of God” Ephesians 2:8
We must surrender to Jesus as Lord (Romans 10:9-10).
Surrendering to Jesus as Lord is giving Jesus complete control of our lives and not just saying it (Matthew 7:21).
Prayer of Commitment:
“Dear Lord Jesus . . . I believe You are the Son of God . . . and died to forgive me of my sins . . . I know that I have sinned . . . I ask you to forgive me . . I turn from my sins and I receive You as my Lord and Savior . . . Thank You for saving me and help me to live the rest of my life for You. AMEN”
We Are All Here To Reach Out and Serve Others...
"Jesus wants each of you to be part of what He is doing. God is calling forth a radical generation of fierce worshippers. You can be part of the new breed: Be unwilling to compromise with the world.
Stand up for what is right. Speak the truth. Show mercy. Befriend the lonely. Defend those suffering injustice. Love the unlovable. Be passionate for Jesus. Don't be ashamed of the Gospel. And always remember to show compassion to the poor, the hurting, and the lost. No matter how old you are, where you live, or what you have—you can help someone with a need, and pour the tender hope of God into someone who has none."
–Christian Singer and Song Writer, Keith Green
Go to the highways and hedges to compel them to come to my banquet table!
Taken from KJV
Matthew 28:18-20,
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen.
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Luke 14:16-24
Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:
And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. And they all with one [consent] began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.
And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused. And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.
So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.
And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.
And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel [them] to come in, that my house may be filled. For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.
We are exploring and sharing ideas about places we can go and share the Word in our community: Calling Nursing Homes, Veterans Home, Teen Shelter, and other places to go and spread the Word.
We need to go out and share the Word!
