WE ARE MAKING DISCIPLES!

Metaphor

- The building process -> planning -> foundation -> framing -> rough in -> etc.

Each of us are planning, digging & pouring a foundation, building a framework, in the construction of something bigger than ourselves.

Vision

- Jesus says that all authority belongs to Him. He is Lord. He is in charge; we are His followers. As Christians, we exist for His glory and for His purposes. He has given us a sacred mission: to go and make disciples. It is the job of every believer to be a disciple who make disciples. The church is supposed to equip its people (every man) to be an army released on his marriage, his family, his work, and his community.

In this room we have men fighting alcoholism, drug addiction, pornography addiction, marital problems, aloneness, financial failure, and a number of other problem too many to list.

• We are not going to allow our pasts to define us, or to direct our futures.
• We are not going to be satisfied with shallow, anonymous, slow/no spiritual growth.
• We are going to care enough to hear another man's story and respond with genuine spiritual support.

Foundation

Foundation

- Discipleship requires real teaching and real learning. It requires conversation, modeling, encouragement, debriefing, and practice, all of which need to happen in the context of relationship.

Without relationship between believers, there is no model to follow, no authenticity, no accountability, no application, and no support for the journey. These things come through personal contact. And because that relational context for learning is lacking, life change is much rarer than it should be among Christians today.
