Men's Breakfast Photos


Last night Ali wrote this on the board for us, and I sincerely appreciated it because my handwriting is not as fancy! 


Josh spoke on the importance and essential aspects of Fight Clubs. He spoke out of Romans 6, which was an amazing opportunity to look at what Jesus has done for us. We were dead in our sin, but Jesus made us alive.


Josh also made sure to address the wrong ways to fight during the sanctification process of any Christian. He made the distinction between justification and sanctification in a way that helped us understand how amazing God's grace is and how are to respond to His saving grace.


We had over forty people there today! I hope that each and every one of them learned something about Fight Clubs, and I hope that they got closer to each other in the process.



Eric led the discussion by asking Josh some questions from the men in the audience. Eric has been a great discussion leader in the intern meetings on Tuesday mornings, and he did a great job today in leading the discussion.


As we left for the day we all prayed that we are fighting for the right things and for God to show us when we are not fighting well. God has been gracious with us all and we desire to see His grace as we confess our sin, turn towards God, and lead our families to a deeper relationship with God.

What is a Fight Club?


The Karis Men's Breakfast is going to be focused on Fight Clubs this time around.

Fight Clubs? What is a Fight Club? Is it like the movie? What in the heck do you fight?

Those are totally understandable and reasonable questions. Here is quick and very brief explanation of what a Fight Club is at Karis Church:
"Fight Clubs are small, simple groups of two to three men or women who meet regularly to help one another beat up the flesh and believe the gospel of grace." 
- Jonathan Dodson, Gospel-Centered Discipleship
A small group of men or women get together and live life together. They are open and honest with one another about their sin, their struggles, and their beliefs. They encourage, rebuke, and exhort one another. They fight for each other to help the group believe more in the gospel of grace in Jesus Christ. They fight against sin and for faith.

Whenever I try to explain what a Fight Club is I usually say this:
"A Fight Club is a group that fights for faith in Jesus."
Are you interested? Do you want to know more about how to fight for faith? Are you interested in hanging out with other men who deeply want to know God more fully and know each other more clearly?

Register for the Men's Breakfast: Fight Clubs event on The City. Or you can contact me for more information!

Let's fight for faith together.
