“The Book of Nehemiah” — New FORGE Men Series Study

April 13, 2024 /

Men, we’re starting a new series on our time together: “The Book of Nehemiah“ by Eric Mason.

Description

Whether we’ve felt spiritually stale or devoured by doubts, we’ve all wanted God to renew us. But what does spiritual restoration even look like?
The book of Nehemiah tells the story of God’s power to restore his people. As Israel returned from exile to the Promised Land, they found the walls of Jerusalem in shambles. So God equipped Nehemiah to rebuild the wall and lead the discouraged Israelites. In this 10-session series, Dr. Eric Mason shows us how God renewed his people both physically and spiritually. Through the story of Israel’s plight and God’s faithfulness, we see how God preserved his people to carry out his mission of redemption.

“Faith in Hostile Times” — New FORGE Men Series Study

November 29, 2023 /

Men, we’re starting a new series on our time together: “Faith in Hostile Times“ by Berni Dymet.

Description

Are you overwhelmed by the godlessness sweeping across our world and flooding every corner of cyberspace? Are you disillusioned that the most vitriolic voices in debates are sometimes those of people calling themselves Christians? In this five-part series, Berni Dymet explores how Jesus engaged with and responded to people who were hostile toward Him. In Jesus’ example, we find a way to hold tight to the truth, while speaking it in love.

“The Book of TITUS” — New FORGE Men Series Study

March 6, 2023 /

Men, we’re starting a new series on our time together: “The Book of TITUS,” by Chip Ingram.

In this Book of the Bible series, Chip Ingram unpacks the book of Titus. He will challenge us to display the gospel in our lives through doing good.

We do good works not to earn God’s favor, but as a result of God’s favor.

When the gospel has truly taken root in our lives, it produces the fruit of godliness. As we pass these things on to future generations, the Church stands in bright contrast to the darkness of the world.

This new series begins on March 14, 2023, at our usual time. (6:00 PM for food; study beginning at 6:30 PM.)

“The Power of Knowing God” — New FORGE Men Series Study

September 14, 2022 /

Men, get to know God as He really is!

Beginning on Tuesday, September 27, we will cover a new study series by Dr. Tony Evans, “The Power of Knowing God.“

Dr. Tony Evans believes seeking to know God is life’s greatest purpose. In this practical, six-session video series, he shares strategies and skills for how you can live victoriously as a child of God.

Your connection with God can be so much more than going to church, reading the Bible, and attending study groups. Using in-depth scriptural studies alongside stories from his own life, Dr. Evans will equip you with the tools you need for pursuing an authentic and life-transforming relationship with your Savior.

This new series begins on September 27, 2022, at our usual time. (6:00 PM for food; study beginning at 6:30 PM.)

Difficult Topics

August 8, 2022 /

FORGE wanted to cover some “Difficult Topics” from May 24 – August 23, 2022, to get a handle on what’s going on in the world and how we, as Christians, should respond to those issues.

For our time together we determined to go through the following questions and process:

  1. What is the ISSUE?
  2. Do I truly UNDERSTAND the issue? [Opposing viewpoints, etc.]
  3. How do you FEEL about the issue? Why?
  4. What do the SCRIPTURES say about the issue, directly or indirectly?
  5. What would Jesus do? What would Jesus have US do? What lesson(s) is this teaching me?

The dates and topics we decided to cover, as well as some of the Scriptures for each topic are below.

(A PDF of all of this is available here. There is also a PDF of a document from our Church denomination on “”Gender Identity Disorder or Gender Dysphoria in Christian Perspective” here.)

STEPPING UP — A Call to Courageous Manhood

June 23, 2021 /

Men, we’ve completed our first study and have grown closer to God and each other through our shared time and conversations. Now, it’s on to the next!

In “STEPPING UP: A Call to Courageous Manhood,” we’ll dig deeper into what it means to “step up and live a courageous life.”

In this series, Dennis Rainey, along with Matt Chandler, Bill Bennett, Tony Dungy, Robert Lewis, Voddie Baucham, Stu Weber, and others unpack what biblical manhood looks like and what it means to be a godly, courageous man in today’s world.

As usual, we’ll meet at 6:00 PM for food and fellowship, do our class from 6:30-7:30 PM, and have some time to wrap-up, pray, and chat from 7:30-8:00 PM.

I hope to see y’all there!

COVID POSITIVE NOTIFICATION – FORGE Men’s Group

April 15, 2021 /

Good afternoon!

We praise and thank the Lord for His continued grace and kindness upon us as a people and nation, and for His mercy and protection amidst the pandemic and unrest that exists around us.

LifeBridge has just learned that someone who was at the FORGE Men’s Bible study last Tuesday evening, April 13, has just tested positive for COVID-19.

Those who attended have been informed directly. Per CDC, those who attended Sunday are not at risk.

WE URGE:

  1. In all public venues, including church, wear a CDC approved face covering.
  2. Enhance your social distancing discipline to maintain 6 feet of distance from others not in your immediate family.
  3. Carefully monitor your symptoms and avoid all personal contact and nonessential travel if you feel the least bit ill.
  4. Continue hand washing and the use of hand sanitizer.
  5. Should you have any symptoms or feel ill, stay away from in-person worship and seek advice from your healthcare professional.
  6. Speak with your health care provider or local Health Department officials with any specific questions you may have about your health or COVID-19.

To ensure your safety LIFEBRIDGE WILL:

  1. Continue to have all worship leadership’s temperature taken and masks worn when not seated each Sunday morning.
  2. Continue to perform contact tracing on those who attend services.
  3. Initiate an enhanced cleaning protocol 1 hour prior to any gathering and a follow up cleaning immediately following an event.
  4. Start handing out Communion elements and fellowship snacks to minimize contact by several.
  5. Closely monitor local, state and federal guidance and adjust our COVID-19 protocols accordingly.

This virus, like all struggles will continue to win some battles in this world. But fear not; for Jesus has overcome the world and won the war!

Continuing to look at Jesus,
Pastor Scott
