Staying Connected Over Summer
Staying Connected Over the Summer As we take a summer break from our regular men’s Bible study meetings, each of us will face a choice. A pause in the schedule does not have to become a pause in our walk with Christ. In many ways, seasons without structure reveal the true direction of our spiritual […]
Ecc311 Evangelism Cards
Introduction Before a man sees his need for a Savior, he must first understand the reality of sin, judgment, and eternity. Scripture does not avoid difficult truths. God lovingly warns humanity because He desires people to repent and be saved through Jesus Christ. Many people today believe they are “good enough,” assume heaven is automatic, […]
Do I have Joy…Really?
Key Scripture Focus “Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.” — Nehemiah 8:10 There are times when I stop and ask myself a hard question: Do I really have the joy of the Lord—or do I just know the right answer? I’ve heard it my whole life. I can say […]
Lamp
Lamp This study was inspired by Psalm 119:105, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.” That verse made me think: how else does the Bible use the idea of a “lamp”? Keeping with our theme “Objects in the Bible” tonight we’re going to add the word lamp to […]
Ears to Hear
Matthew 13:9 “He who has ears, let him hear.” Tonight we’re looking at a simple sentence from Jesus that carries a serious weight. On the surface, it sounds obvious—everyone listening had ears.

Most of us have heard the old saying, “make hay while […]
“It is Finished…”
“It Is Finished” — John 19:30 Opening Discussion Questions Every man knows what it feels like to carry responsibility—providing, leading, fixing, finishing what’s been started.

I was asked recently about sharing my testimony. This led me to the study tonight. In Christian culture, the word testimony usually refers to a believer telling the story of how God saved them. While the modern format may vary, the concept itself is deeply rooted in Scripture. The biblical idea of testimony comes from […]
Spiritual Warfare
Spiritual Warfare and Taking Every Thought Captive Opening Discussion Questions Introduction Every man fights battles in life. Some are visible—work pressures, family responsibilities, financial stress, or relational conflict. But the Bible teaches that the most important battles often happen where no one else can see them: in our minds and hearts. The apostle Paul reminds […]
Rejoicing in the Joy of Others — Even When You Lose
Rejoicing in the Joy of Others — Even When You Lose Tonights study is inspired by what happened last night in the World Baseball Classic: When Team USA lost, I expected to feel disappointed—maybe even frustrated—but something unexpected happened. As I watched the Venezuela national baseball team celebrate, seeing grown men overcome with emotion, hugging […]
