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.

Many men fail to realize their dreams because they choose comfort over character, image over substance, and escape over endurance. But a man who knows how to embrace hardship and learn to mine it for God’s purposes will see his godly dreams come true.
