Memorial Day Weekend

Brosephs, we traditionally take off Memorial Day Monday. If you want to have a little get together go for it. I'm pretty sure Tarik's house is not an option. Therefore, if you want to have a sesh with some of the guys, someone needs to post it and send out some texts as to the location etc.. Otherwise, there will not be a traditional gathering. If you want to get together but need help spreading the word just call me. Taylor

Men and Marriage

Hey guys! This is a sermon by Mark Driscoll on the roll of men in marriage. In light of what we've been covering the last few weeks, and especially last night, I thought it would be appropriate to post this up here. Now...a brief warning- this message may hurt a little bit, but it's the kind of hurt that is followed by times of refreshing- so don't be scared. Be men.

If you're married, you should hear this. If you're thinking about marriage, you should DEFINITELY hear this. You single guys, remember what Kyle said about staying pure for your wife even though you haven't met her yet. Driscoll will flesh that out for you. He's loving with a tough love here, but it's faithful to God's word. So watch it PRAYERFULLY with an open heart. Be blessed my brothers. Amen.

Our walk as Jesus walked

Hey guys, As I was passing the house on Connor where we used to meet, I was just thinking of how sad I am. Sad that that season has passed, and then I thought of how this little group of very simple men, has been used by God. How He has moved us to Hawaii, Turkey, Washington, Colorado, Orange County, Santa Ynez, maybe soon San Francisco, etc. Wow Praise God! I was reading in Joshua 18:3 "How long will you put off entering to take possession of the land which the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given you?" Then in John 2 about the Miracle at Cana of the water into wine. From verse 3 , " and when the wine gave out, the mother of Jesus said to Him," they have no wine." vs 4 And Jesus said to her "Woman, what do I have to do with you? My hour has not yet come." Her response in verse 5 is what hit me, 5 His mother said to the servants "Whatever He says to you, do it." He is just waiting for us to possess the land that He has given us. The response He gave to His mom seemed closed ended. Yet she knowing His nature and His promises, pressed Him to show His power. Oh that we would have such a faith. Guys I miss each and everyone of you. But now I am starting to understand how Paul felt when his close friends would be sent out for the Gospels sake. We will have all eternity to speak of our many journeys. God Bless
