OUTSTANDING MEN OF GOD (O.M.G.)

Tuesday, October 23rd - 7PM - RM. 1

DISCUSSION: “Tension” FACILITATOR: Dr. Jerome F. Coleman

AUTHENTIC MANHOOD: A Man And His Work

Work and career play a major role in the life of every man. This volume of 33

The Series begins by recognizing the obstacles and

tensions that men can experience in their work-lives

and the unfolds a process that helps men move beyond

the conventional perspective of work that can lead to

dead ends and frustration. It leads them to a bigger,

biblical vision of work that goes back to God’s original

intentions. A Biblical Blueprint of work is introduced

to serve as a guide that man can apply to their work

journey as they seek to come alive and live out God’s

will in their work. Some biblical and modern exam-

ples will men begin to understand how they can apply

the Blueprint to their lives. Also included are: key essentials that help men live

out the Blueprint; dangerous work traps that can derail a work journey; and

important catalyzers to help maximize their work experiences. Work is too

important for us to settle. It is a huge part of who God made us to be. It is

essential to understand and master God’s vision of work for us in order to live

out work-lives full of passion and purpose.

The Whosoever Will Choir will sing at both services
