Four Men, One Calling:

To serve and protect...

The righteous man is one who lives for the next generation
      Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Men's Breakfast:
    Is the first Saturday of every month September through May,
    7:30 AM at First Baptist Church
    September 11, 2010 First Men's Breakfast of the 2010-2011 Season

As men of First Baptist Church we ask God to bless us, protect us, and strengthen us. We ask Him to increase our heart's desire for Him and that he would also increase our realm of ministry.

As our Lord does this for us, we will strive to be loyal to Him and to each other, exhorting one another to be men of God. We intend to be men who dream bigger than we can see.

With this in our hearts we are confident that God will use us as powerful instruments for Christ in this world.

    James 5:16

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

    1 Timothy 6:18

Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share.

    Hosea 6:6

For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings.

    Joshua 1:1-9

¹ After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, the LORD said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses' aide: ² "Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them-to the Israelites. ³ I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses. ⁴ Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphrates-all the Hittite country-to the Great Sea on the west. ⁵ No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. ⁶ "Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them. ⁷ Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. ⁸ Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. ⁹ Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."

    1 Chronicles 4:9-10

⁹ Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez, saying, "I gave birth to him in pain." ¹⁰ Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." And God granted his request.
