Men’s Ministry at Grace Vineyard – 2010
In 1 Peter 5:5-11, our Lord has given to the followers of Jesus for all time, key words and phrases revealing the kind of people they are to be in the world.
‘Young men…be submissive to those who are older.’
‘…clothe yourselves with humility.’
‘…cast all your anxiety on Him.’
‘Be self controlled and alert…’
‘Resist (the devil), standing firm in the faith…’
‘…the God of all glory, who called you…’
‘…(God will) make you strong, firm and steadfast.”
From this list, the men’s ministry at Grace finds it’s marching orders. Here is what we are about:
- Those who are older in Christ committed to mentoring the younger men
- The younger guys submitted to being mentored and growing up in Christ
- Young and old alike walking in humility
- Men growing in dynamic prayer that frees them from anxiety and fear
- Guys established in the character of their faith by being self-controlled
- Men who have learned spiritual warfare, standing firm and steadfast in their faith
- The ‘call’ of the gospel toward the lost being proclaimed in word and deed by our men
- Men who are open and honest about their weaknesses, and growing in the power of the Holy Spirit to make them strong, firm and steadfast
What we're doing about it:
