NOCC Men’s Ministry
Our
Purpose:
to encourage every man to be authentically and fully the man God
designed and gifted him to be.
As authentic men, we will follow our Leader –
Jesus Christ –
obediently to carry out His Mission for life.
Colossians 3:12-17
“Therefore, as God's chosen people,
holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion,
kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each
other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one
another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these
virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect
unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as
members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.
Let the word of Christ
dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with
all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs
with gratitude in your hearts to God.
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all
in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father
through him.”
Philippians 4:8-9
“Finally, brothers, whatever is true,
whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever
is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or
praiseworthy—think about such things.
Whatever you have learned
or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into
practice. And the God of peace will be with you.”
2
Corinthians 5:17-21
“Therefore,
if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone,
the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to
himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of
reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in
Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has
committed to us the message of reconciliation.
We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making
his appeal through us.
We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. God
made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we
might become the righteousness of God.”
Our
Life Mission
… of following our Leader Jesus Christ will be seen
…
In our marriages - as we become true lovers of our wives –
seeking to serve & meet their needs as our Leader Jesus did for
His bride.
In our families - as we train our children – by our words
encouraging spiritual growth – and more importantly – as we
actually live what we say we believe – passing to them the torch
of faith in Christ.
“We teach what we know … we reproduce what we are”
---
Jim
Burns (Youth Leader & Speaker)
In our jobs – as we acknowledge them as gifts from God - as we
work believing God is truly our boss – and as we see our jobs as
opportunities to serve our employers and co-workers as Jesus
would do.
In our church family – as we discover how God has gifted us
spiritually – and then choose to use those gifts to build up His
body here on earth.
In our community – as we lead in being the
“best citizens” we can be – to the glory of God – some taking
positions of leadership in the government.
We will reject the “normal passivity” men exhibit and
lead in these critical areas …
We will take up the “mantle of responsibility” in these
areas …
We will move forward – following our leader, Jesus – with
courage …
We will not sell ourselves short by settling for
temporary “atta boys” – but will
wait to hear …
“Well done – Son”, from God Himself.
We will watch God build His life - into each
man – as we meet together for Biblical instruction, wise
encouragement, and times of great fun –
where we all “have each other’s back.”
Single men are encouraged to build into the
“family of God” –
as well as their own biological families.
Young men and sons will be invited into the
company of men and invited to join all men to “put away the
attitudes of childhood” and turn toward growing as the authentic
man God has designed them to be – in the company of men.
