Men’s Prayer Breakfast Recap — 3/20/25
PHOTOS: This morning’s Men’s Prayer Breakfast was a powerful time of worship ✝️, fellowship 🤝, and encouragement 💬! We started with contemporary Christian music 🎶 that lifted our hearts and minds. Pastor Colbert Jones brought a wonderful message, reminding us:
• Let your sins be lost in darkness, and let the Light of Life 💡 guide your heart ❤️.
• God’s grace 🙏 makes us whole; His love ❤️ is holy and constant.
• Every day is an opportunity to change the world 🌍 for Christ.
• Stop trying to earn your way to heaven — Jesus has already done the work! ✝️
• Peace ☮️ is not the absence of trouble, but the presence of Jesus 🙌.
• Give your troubles to God — the Lion 🦁 and the Lamb 🐑 have overcome the world!
• Let us grow in faith 🌱, moving from head knowledge 🧠 to heart knowledge ❤️.
• Even when things feel like they’re falling apart, they’re really falling into place (Romans 8:28) 📖.
• God is singing over us 🎵 — are we singing back to Him? 🎶
Thank you, God, for contemporary songs that have changed our lives! 🙏🎶
⸻
Join us for the next Men’s Prayer Breakfast! 🥞☕
On the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of every month — and every Thursday during Lent — men of all ages are welcome to gather for food 🍳, fellowship 🤝, prayer 🙏, and to hear a challenging message 📖 from a local pastor, missionary, or ministry leader.
We’d love to have you with us!
