Have you ever wanted a fresh start? A new beginning? As we enter the new year, we’ll take a journey through the pages of the Book of Mark, and we’ll encounter the Good News that changes everything and makes things new. It is the story of hope, redemption, and new beginnings. The Gospel is the origin story that changes our story and makes it the best story.
Men are called to love their wives as Christ loved the church. That's a tall order, because Christ was the man. A one-bullet-point sermon would be Love At All Costs, but what does that mean? A couple manly things to do would be to Provide and Protect. Men should also love with tenderness. Mr. Travis Williams, the leader of Evangel's Men's Fraternity, shares his personal struggles and challenges men to “Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong. Do everything in love.” That's 1 Corinthians 16:13-14, the sermon text, and it's on the black bracelets given to men who complete Session 1 of Men's Fraternity, The Quest for Authentic Manhood.
