What a blessed morning at the Men’s Prayer Breakfast! ☕️🙏
PHOTOS: A heartfelt THANK YOU to our speaker, Rev. Dr. Gordon V. Barrows — Mayor of New Bethlehem and a local pastor serving St. Mary’s Redbank Church (Templeton), NB First Fellowship (New Bethlehem), and New Salem Pierce Church (Mayport).
Rev. Barrows delivered a powerful message titled:
“Why God Places People in Our Lives” — reminding us that people are not random. They’re either doors 🚪 (to blessing) or walls 🧱 (to protection)… and we are called to discern the difference.
Key Takeaways:
1. Every person has a purpose—but not everyone is sent by God. 🔍
“Two are better than one… if either falls, one can help the other up.” — Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
2. People are doors and walls—and so are YOU. 🚪🧱
“Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.” — Romans 12:10
3. Discernment is the difference. ⚔️
“Watch out for false prophets…inwardly they are ferocious wolves.” — Matthew 7:15
Guard your gates. Be the blessing. ⛩️✨
“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.” — Hebrews 10:24
Special thanks to Jeff Ferringer 🎤 for emceeing the event with grace and enthusiasm! And huge appreciation to the entire Evermore’s Restaurant staff 🍽️ for their amazing hospitality and delicious breakfast!
We invite ALL MEN to join us for future gatherings — typically on the 1st & 3rd Thursdays of every month (weekly during Lent). All ages welcome!
