GFCN Update for June 13, 2012

Sunday is Father's Day and we will focus on the importance of the men we call "DAD".  We will review "The Resolution" from the movie "Courageous" and invite men who are willing to step forward and make the resolution their own for the future.  It is a commitment to families and the church to be a man "after God's own heart."

"The Resolution" is downloadable by click here.  We will be challenged to live up to the commitments made and be the man that God has called us to be.  2 Timothy 2:2 tells us the kind of man we are to be, "² And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others."  Paul challenged Timothy to be a learner, a teacher, a disciple and an example.  And God challenges, requires, us to be the same.  On Sunday we will also enjoy a sacred concert by "the" Michael Jackson and a free-will love offering will be received for his ministry.
