WHAT GOD EXPECTS FROM YOUNG MEN

On January 24, several of our Young-Adult Men came to my house for a "Young Mens Fellowship Night." After feasting on pizza and wings, and watching a basketball game on T.V., Pastor Alan and I shared with them what the Bible teaches about how a young man should conduct himself. It was really a blessed time with all the sharing, insights, and questions that the young-adults had.

Our Young-Adult Ministry (The Light) has really grown not only in number, but in their committment to Christ! (Click here for a picture) They are a dynamic and energetic part of our CICF Church family with their own active Friday Night Bible Studies and weekend fellowships.

The following are the verses that God showed me to share with the young-adult men. Please go ahead and share this lesson with your own young-adult men! I'm sure they will be blessed.
