 CROSSFIRE
MEN'S MINISTRY FALL SESSION
Thursdays, September 9 - October 28 6:00 - 7:30 AM in the Fellowship Hall (breakfast served from 5:45 AM) "Being God's Man in Tough Times" is an 8-week study and part of the Everyman Bible Study Series.
David was to be the future king of Israel. And yet, as you’ll see firsthand
in this compelling Bible study, the journey to that goal was filled with
dangers, delays, and difficulties. Just like David, every man has a dream of
who he wants to become. But getting there is a different story. Hardships
and losses can destroy the faith—and even the life—of a lesser man.
