A fruitful life begins with meditation on the Word of God: "His delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season" (Ps. 1:2-3). We are meant to meditate individually, of course, carving out time each day to be refreshed by God's truth. But meditation is also a community project. We are meant to reflect on God's Word together. Scripture is too vast to see all there is by ourselves: we need other eyes. We need others to point out the treasures of Scripture and help us see their relevance to our lives. Men's ministry is a standing invitation to meditate on the Word of God with other men at CBC. We gather to read, reflect, discuss, debate, analyze, and apply God's word that we might become better men. This spring we will be exploring the epistle of James, a practical book, covering a wide range of themes, including temptation, speech, wisdom, and money. You are invited to come and grow with us!
