Men’s Bible Study
The Measure of a Man
by by Gene A. Getz
True masculinity is not measured by strength, wealth, or position, but by twenty biblical qualities drawn from the Apostle Paul’s letters to his young protégés Timothy and Titus. Inspiring, encouraging and practical, this classic book shows how you can measure up to Christ’s fullness as a husband, father, and mentor to other men. (Start January 9, 2021)

- Gripped by the Greatness of God by James MacDonald. When was the last time you were truly gripped by God’s greatness? Most Christians recall heartfelt resolutions around a campfire as children, on a youth retreat, and perhaps a revival meeting or two. But what causes the fervor of those experiences to translate into a consistent life pattern? The better we understand God, the better we understand ourselves, and the less likely we are to favor our own will over God’s will. He writes: “God is not safe and He will not be squeezed into some neat, respectable Sunday discussion…To know God at all is to watch Him explode any box we put Him in with His terror, majesty and indescribable wonder.
