November 18, 2007 - Sexual Purity
Ed Barron visited the men of our church and shared his heart on sexual purity. Through his life experience and honesty, Ed challenged all the men to Admit that you have a problem, Submit to God being the Lord of your life, Commit to a group of guys for accountability, and Transmit your story to help others. If you would like a DVD copy of the talk, please email EricLehman@DIVEintoFLOOD.com
January 21, 2008 - Genuine Masculinity: Courage
Men desire to be courageous, but what does that look like? We spent the night diving into the lives of men within the Bible who portrayed courage in powerful ways. We also heard from leaders within our church as we discussed how courage plays out within our daily lives. Click here to download the night's study about Men of Courage from the Bible.
APRIL 28, 2008 - Genuine Masculinity: Dependence on God
What does it mean to be fully dependent on God? We spent the evening exploring this question through a panel of speakers, group discussion, and some reflection time. If we want to be courageous men, we need to be 100% dependent on God. We also happened to have burgers with the fixings and a few guys had to prove their manhood through some pushups.
Flood Growth Groups are small, committed groups of men who desire to challenge and encourage each other to grow closer to God. This is our church’s main source of accountability and authentic growth. Click here to visit our Growth Group page for more information.
Core Groups for Men
FMO (For Men Only) Sexual Integrity & Purity Group
Description: The Church has largely been silent on issues dealing with sexual integrity. We, at Flood, want to combat the secrecy and silence with a group that is only for guys and will deal specifically with sexual purity. If you are dealing with sexual sins and are stuck in a pattern of shame and guilt, then this group, led by a trained facilitator, is a great start! The Bible tells us to confess our sins to one another and bring our sins into the light, exposing the darkness to God's Truth!
Meeting Times: Monday nights 7-9pm, next group begins May 5th
Location: Flood Offices (3878 Ruffin Rd., Ste. B, SD 92123)
Cost: $10, which includes a book
Contact: Email Curt (curtissimo@gmail.com) or Michael (beroth31@yahoo.com)
