Seventeen men came together in the church basement for an evening of fellowship, food, and spiritual growth, as the Men's Ministry hosted a dinner meeting centered on the book Disciplines of a Godly Man. The night proved to be both enriching and encouraging, featuring two thought-provoking presentations that challenged the men to pursue deeper walks with God.

Pastor Kevin Albright Opened the Evening with Prayer

The first presentation was delivered by Andrew Roberts, who spoke on the "Discipline of the Mind." Andrew opened by reflecting on the purpose of the mind and God's design for it — that Christ would be at its very center. He went on to highlight a challenge that every Christian man faces: the difficulty of maintaining a truly Christian mind in a world of ever-increasing technological complexity. The constant noise and distraction of modern life, he noted, can quietly erode spiritual growth without men even realizing it. His call to action was clear — as men of God, we must be intentional and deliberate about undergoing a divine renewing of our minds.

The second presentation was delivered by Jerry Robinson, who spoke on the "Discipline of Devotion," unpacking what it truly means to live a devoted life before God. He structured his message around four key pillars. He began with prayer, explaining that it is not about bending God to our will, but about allowing consistent time in His presence to shape our character and align our hearts with His. He then moved to meditation — the practice of actively listening to and internalizing Scripture so that God's Word moves beyond the page and takes root in the heart. Third, Jerry addressed confession, both spontaneous and systematic, emphasizing that honest acknowledgment of our sins before God is what clears the path to genuine closeness with Him and opens us up to receive His forgiveness. Finally, he closed with adoration, the call to slow down, look up, and let the greatness of who God is move us to heartfelt praise, whether through singing, speaking, or simply marveling at Him.
