M.@.D. (Men at Discipleship): The Ministry Highlight of My Week

Starting in January 2006, I began meeting with several men of our church each Tuesday morning at 6:30 am. We've shared our faith stories, prayed, and discussed our spiritual journeys. These past few months we've gone through the book by Larry Crabb (SoulTalk). We've talked about forsaking the false gospel of religion for the true gospel of an authentic relationship with Jesus Christ. This relationship is not based on what he gives us (He is not a vending machine) but we love and worship him because he is God. Our number one desire means we must be totally obsessed with fellowship with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

We are now continuing this discussion by interacting with Larry Crabb again (through his book, The Papa Prayer). The men who are meeting (including me) will be learning that to have powerful prayer we need to move from praying "God, give me the life I want" to "God, let me know you better."

Men of Middleborough, join us on Tuesday mornings at 6:30 am. We'll have a styrofoam cup for you!

In the Beginning...A Blog

I am in my fifth year as the senior pastor of Central Baptist Church in Middleborough, MA (www.cbcmiddleboro.org). This medium will provide me with an opportunity to interact with people from our church (and perhaps others) about messages, ministry, ideas, and where God is working in our lives. I look forward to this interaction.
