Blog Post by Rob Berreth

Men, this morning as I was praying God laid you on my heart and reminded me of our time together this past fall at he Act Like Men conference. I want to remind you of a few things I said and encourage you to seize this next year, to not waste it, and to plan now for how you can grow and make a difference.

Men, you are not a mistake. Your gender is not a mistake. God made women and men in His image. Both men and women are absolutely needed and essential. Your culture often doesn’t tell you this, and more often than not, denies or scoffs at this truth. As A.W. Tozer said so many years ago:

“The Church at this moment needs men, the right kind of men, bold men…We languish for men who feel themselves expendable in the warfare of the soul, who cannot be frightened by threats of death because they have already died to the allurements of this world. Such men will be free from the compulsions that control weaker men. They will not be forced to do things by the squeeze of circumstances; their only compulsion will come from within—or from above.”

This past fall during our Act Like Men’s conference we focused on four ways, or handles, or commitments that men can engage to guide themselves as they live for God’s glory, the good of those around them, and for their own good. In this coming year it is worth looking at these categories and making a specific plan about how you will engage each one by the grace of God and the power of the Spirit. All of us that love Jesus want to look more like Jesus by this time next year. Not so we are loved or saved or forgiven, but because we are.

Here are the four statements:

• Men Obey God
• Men Lead Their Families
• Men Serve Their Church
• Men Sacrifice Themselves

As a way to make this practical there are a few questions or thoughts to get you thinking about ways to integrate these handles in 2014. But before you start. Remind yourself of the Gospel. Preach to yourself the ultimate truth that only Jesus perfectly obeys God. That Jesus leads His people. That Jesus serves His Church. And Jesus sacrificed Himself utterly for all who trust in Him. Guard vigilantly from making 2014 a year of working hard to merit what Jesus has already earned. Equally fight against wasting 2014 and the privilege of growing more mature like Jesus by God’s grace.

I OBEY GOD

• To obey God you need to know what He commands, what pleases Him, etc. Pick a time and devote yourself to reading His Word. Do you have a Bible plan? When will you read? Where? Etc.
• When will you pray? What will you pray for?
• What right now in your life is not producing love for God and distracting you from obedience? Why are you doing this? What is going to change to battle this area of disobedience?
• What times do you feel most obedient to God? How can you pursue that lifestyle more often?
• Ask your spouse and/or friends about areas in your life that they see patterns of sin, apathy, etc. Make a plan for fighting these areas.
• Reflect on areas of obedience. Make a list of ways you are following God. Spend some time thanking Hom for how He is changing you.
• Plan now to do official theological and practical training in your local church. Redeemer will be launching new programs, tacks and opportunities Fall of 2014. There will be something for everyone with time commitments ranging from 3 months to 2 years with a variety of opportunities. We will be focusing on Bible and Doctrine, Church and Mission, as well as personal character and growth.

I LEAD MY FAMILY

• To lead my family I need to lead myself. Where am I not a leader of self? Think through various areas like physical and emotional health, financial responsibility, spiritual vigor, etc. What really needs to grow? What PLAN are you going to make to get there?
• If married, ask your spouse how you can lead better. Be humble and grateful that she would help you see where you can grow. Avoid defensiveness by remembering that only Jesus is perfect.
• Prayerfully seek some vision for your family. What do you want your marriage to look like next year. In five years? Same with your kids. What about your lifestyle, how you are on mission as a family? How you engage the Bible as a family? How your money is used, your time spent, your resources stewarded, etc? Write a vivid description of what you want your family to look like in 10 years. Ask your family to help. If you aren’t married or don’t have kids, ask your friends to help.
• What legacy do you want for your family? In 20, 30, 100 years what do you want your family to be known for?
• Write a vision statement with your spouse for your family. What is your families mission? What are your core values? Now, how are you going to get there? What’s your strategy? What resources do you need? Who can help you? If single, you can do this with friends, Discipleship group, or Gospel Community.

I SERVE MY CHURCH

• If you are not a member of a local church become one.
• Use your gifts for the good of the church. If you don’t know what those gifts are ask someone to help you figure it out. God has endowed you with gifts for the good of His church and they are needed. You are needed.
• Ask yourself this question: if everyone in the church gave at my level of service, giving, prayer, participation, etc would my local church be stronger or weaker?
• What do you aspire to in your local church?
• Do you know the mission and vision and strategy of your local church? How can you specifically support these things?
• Reflect on evidences of grace from this past year as you reflect on your local church. This can be ways you have served or ways you have been served.

I SACRIFICE MYSELF

• In order to do any of the above things well we need to embrace what it means to sacrifice ourselves. Remember, only Jesus sacrificed Himself completely. He also sacrificed Himself uniquely. Meaning, you don’t give of yourself for the forgiveness of sins, the reconciliation of all things, the promise of a new Kingdom. You give sacrifice yourself to make the truths of Jesus’ sacrifice known and felt.
• What is holding you back from giving yourself, like Paul says, as a drink offering? Do you struggle with laziness? Or fear? Or distraction? Recognizing and naming the specifics can be very helpful in battling.
• 2 Tim 2.3 the Spirit calls us to be good soldiers of Jesus Christ not entangled in civilian pursuits since our aim is to please the one who enlisted Him. What specifically does being a good solider look like in 2014 for you? Focus on what might entangle you or distract you. More than that, focus on what it means to want to live to please the one who enlisted you.
• What will your schedule look like in 2014? Make an ideal schedule that reflects someone who obeys God, leads his family, and serves his church.
• What other men can help fight alongside of you as you pour yourself out? If you are not in a Discipleship Group (DG) get in one. If you don’t know what a DG is ask your Gospel Community or talk with someone in the church and we can help.

I can’t say this enough, Jesus is enough. His obedience, leading, service and sacrifice is enough. We want 2014 to be a year marked with believing that truth in thought and deed and action and effort. But this is effort that is grace saturated and Gospel driven. We can take risks because in Jesus death is dead. We can step out and live differently because in Jesus we have a new identity. We have nothing to fear because Christ has conquered. May God give us the grace to “act like men” for His glory, the good of our cities, our church, our families.

Recently, Redeemer held our first Turkey Bowl. It was a fantastic and fun time hangin’ out, playing football, and eating too many hamburgers and hotdogs, for the purpose of meeting people who may not normally come to a church gathering. Everyone got to be on a team, and everyone got to play.

One of the awesome things about being a Christian is that when God saved you, he drafted you onto his team and put you into the game. Every believer is called to care, individually and corporately, for those around us by having an outward, missionary focus in our lives (Matt. 28:18-20).

Crossing Paths

The point of being missional is to be obedient to Jesus imperative "make disciples" and to see people meet Jesus. Recently, I was reading through the fifth chapter of Luke and noticed two things about mission. The first was from the healing of the paralytic (v. 17-26). In that situation men brought their friend to the place where Jesus was teaching in order to meet him and be healed. This example shows how as Christians we often invite people to interrupt their own life patterns and get into Jesus' path in order to meet Him and to be healed. For us today, an example of this approach may be inviting someone to church or a bible study. The person invited goes outside their regular path of life to come into an environment where Jesus is glorified and proclaimed. Many people have met Jesus this way.

However, it seems in this day and age where church-going is not as esteemed as it once was, this approach to mission is not as effective as it was fifty years ago. People do not necessarily believe that there is healing for their circumstances in a church. This is where the second example is so telling. After healing the paralytic Jesus went from there to the tax booth where Levi was working (v.27). Levi was not one to ever set foot into a religious meeting, he was a sinner of sinners and an outcast of his people. What is helpful when reading this is Jesus didn't wait for Levi to come to him but interjected himself into his path of life, revealing Levi's ultimate need for healing; his need for a savior.

As ambassadors for Christ and witnesses to his grace we can look at these passages and see Jesus' heart for sinners and his desire to save. We can also see two ways that people meet him: They get in his path or he gets in theirs. Today, God reveals his grace in numerous ways but more commonly he uses us, we as ambassadors bring people into Jesus' path or we bring Jesus into theirs.

Generally, Christians seem to have more difficulty telling people about Jesus than asking someone to go to church with them. Telling people about Jesus can seem intimidating and awkward, but it doesn't have to be. It's not like cold- clocking someone with the gospel, but rather engaging into their lives with them with gospel intentionality. This means spending time them, loving them, and helping them. All while waiting and trusting that God will provide an opportunity to share the good news of Christ.

Crossing Paths In Practical Ways

This all starts with meeting non-Christians. Entering into the paths of non-Christians seems to be a major barrier, but it shouldn't be. In no way extensive, I would like to share some very practical ways to make the initial step of crossing into their paths.

1. "Free Food" - this seems to be the universal invitation that few turn down. My family recently moved to Bellingham and decided to invite our new neighbors over for dinner. We told the neighborhood we are cooking some good food and not to bring anything except yourself. 30 people showed up, 26 who do not know Jesus. We have continued to do these dinners and from them we now have a Gospel Community Group and two Discipleship Groups. We did not have to be weird or force anything. Through natural conversations God gave us opportunities to talk about Jesus and Redeemer Church.
2. "The Meet Seats" - When you are out in public there are certain seats in public places such as coffee shops provide good opportunities to meet people. At a local coffee shop I frequent for studies, I purposely sit in one of four seats that awkwardly face each other. Almost every time I have sat at one of these seats I have met and engaged with someone new. Not so long ago the conversation naturally presented a significant opportunity to share Jesus.
3. "Pub Hubs" - Another spot I found to be a great meeting spot was local restaurants and pubs. In these establishments community is already being promoted by having big family style seating where strangers regularly sit together. The difficult part of engaging is removed.  So sit at one of these tables instead of by yourself. On a date recently with my wife, we met two sets of folks at a table like this and two of them, broke art students, are now planning on joining us for a dinner and game night. Like I said everyone likes free food especially broke artists.
4. "Party Like Levi" - When Jesus saved Levi, Levi threw a party and invited all his buddies who didn't know Jesus. The bible says he threw a great banquet. In other words, he didn't hold back; his party was off the hook! Good food, good drink, good tunes, I mean a good party. And why wouldn't he? He just met Jesus! There are many reasons we throw parties: birthday parties, graduation parties, candle parties, costume parties, and holiday parties. Those are all good reasons to party, but not as good knowing Jesus. There is no good reason why non-Christians shouldn't be invited to those with you. My wife and I use every party we throw as a way to meet people who don't know Jesus and cross our paths. It brings people together for a common reason, to celebrate, and into your life. We invite coworkers, neighbors, family, church family, and people we meet at coffee shops and restaurants. Sure they might say no but we have found more times than not, they say yes.

The translation for the great commission can be read "as you go, make disciples". This means as you go about doing life, entertainment, relaxation, shopping, or getting a cup of coffee remember you are on mission and an ambassador for a God who pursues and saves. Some may not accept an invitation to come to church but many will accept an invite to your dinner table.

 As you pursue others, remember You are not alone; Jesus is with you always. It's not awkward, it's loving. It's not weird, it's obedient. If you are willing God will provide opportunities for people in your life to respond to Jesus' call, "Follow me."

"Since 1863, on the fourth Thursday of November, families and friends in the United States have gathered to commemorate an old tradition linked back to the early European settlers.

You know the story: The pilgrims and Native Americans came together for a happy feast to celebrate the harvest and forge new friendships. A few hundred years later, this event became a legislated holiday and got Norman Rockwelled into the fabric of American life. We call it Thanksgiving." - Jonathan Parnell

Hope and Desire

This time of year is always a joyous time to gather as family and eat a ton of food. And this year we want to give everyone practical helps to make this Thanksgiving enjoyable but also very fruitful and intentional. Below we linked a few blog posts that will be helpful for you this holiday season as you prepare for the madness. Enjoy!

Thanksgiving Opportunities | Remembrances 

5 Simple Ways To Have A Missional Thanksgiving: These five things will help you and others understand what thanksgiving looks like. Doing the things on this list will lead you away from a me understanding and into a we understanding. How can I not just say thank you to God but learn to walk out that thankfulness in the everyday. The principles above in this blog post can start to be walked out in many ways that don't have to happen just at Thanksgiving.

Who Are You Inviting to Thanksgiving?: In order to fulfill the Great Commission, we need to know whom Jesus wants us to invite to our Thanksgiving dinner.

Thanksgiving on Mission: What if God had more for our kin this Thanksgiving than the Macy’s parade, tryptophan-induced naps, and NFL football? What if we saw our gatherings with extended family not as a chance to check out, but as an opportunity for Christian mission? 

TensionsHow to Deal with Holiday Family Tensions?: Here are a few quick thoughts on what followers of Jesus ought to remember, especially if you've got a difficult extended family situation.

Rethinking Thanksgiving: I’ve always thought of Thanksgiving as a day to count my blessings, to take an inventory (at least a partial one) of what I’m grateful for, to try not to take God’s providence for granted. This year I’m wondering if there’s a risk in blessing-counting, at least when those blessings are things...

Editors' Note: The Goal for this Interview is to paint a picture of what true discipleship looks like between a college age student and a family. I have received plenty of requests from college students expressing their desire to have someone disciple them. But we felt challenged to express where we think the best discipleship happens, by being integrated within a family. In these two blog posts we interviewed a family and the college student (at the time) and asked them both what discipleship looks like as their lives were interwoven.

Discipleship In the Eyes of a Student: Below is the blog interview that was done with Maddy Barden.

Discipleship In the Eyes of a Family

How Can I Get Discipled?

*********

Before we start, I wanted you to give people a background of your life. How did you understand the nature of “family” when you were younger, particularly before you started to follow Jesus?

 I grew up in a family of 4 – My Dad, Mom, and older sister, Heidi. We went to church until I was about 8 years old (for reasons I am unsure of) but don’t remember being brought up in the gospel or seeing my parents really love Jesus. I looked forward to church so that I could be with friends or turn in tokens I had earned at Sunday school for toys. My parents were divorced when I was 13, my mom stating that my dad no longer wanted to “have fun” and live her “free-spirited” type of lifestyle. I lived with my dad through high school along with my sister and my relationship with my mom suffered. Both of my parents are alcoholics, which was something I wasn’t as aware of as I am now but I can look back on my time when I lived at home with my parents as having a significant impact on my trust of others and how I functioned in my relationships.

A few years ago you asked the Kruyswijks if you could come over and be a student of their family and learn. What were your intentions for reaching out to them, and what did you hope would come out of spending time with them?

 I originally met Sierra (9) and Carson (7) during a church day-project cleanup when we re-did the garden area of Redeemer. The kids wanted to run around and help me with my different projects and it brightened up the work! I made the connection that Janine was their mom a few weeks later through volunteering with Redeemer Kids. I had been hoping to get in relationship with a family for a few months and already had made connection with a few of the members of their family. We got to chatting one day and she invited me over to dinner. I had heard from other friends and through various Christian blogs or posts that experiences with families helped them grow in their understanding of marriage, raising children and every day life in light of Jesus. My hope in spending time with the Kruyswijk family was to see how Jesus had changed their lives, share life together and to also grow in my relationship with their children so that I could be helping shape their hearts for the Lord as well.

You have spent a lot of time with the Kruyswijks and have sort of become a part of their family now. What sort of things has Jesus taught you about yourself that you wouldn’t have known if you hadn’t spent all this time with them?

 Oh man, loaded question! I feel like I have gone through so much with them since we started spending time together! I’ve mainly learned that life is beautiful and hard and that Jesus is the only rock that we can rest on. I remember Sierra having a severe allergic reaction at one point in time and praying for her and beginning to see parenthood in a different way. I remember Janine first finding out she was pregnant with Eden, seeing her belly grow and getting to share in some of the first hours of her life. I learned so much about seeing Janine and Steve’s love for one another from Christ and then also to their children. Seeing the vulnerability and trust they have in one another humbled me to see that I could only ever do marriage and kids if I rest in Jesus and find him as my source to do those things. Outside of that I would fall on my face and fail miserably.

Before my experiences along side of their family – the good times and the hard – I thought marriage and having children was much more self based, and I thought I was pretty set and had the capabilities to take it on. Now I see that I will never be able to do those things without the power of Christ in me, trusting in his grace and with the support of God’s family around me.  I’ve seen and learned more about how unappreciated moms are (and dads I’m sure as well) and how moms must be comforted that God sees their labors. What a humbling job that brings you to your knees in need of Jesus to sustain you.

I’ve learned a lot about grace and about the body of Christ. We are one and it’s beautiful. The Kruyswijks have extended grace upon grace to me and I’ve been able to do the same to them. I feel sharpened by them, encouraged by them and challenged and always accepted. I can come as I am and in my family growing up I couldn’t do that. We didn’t talk about the hard stuff, my parents didn’t talk to me about the hard things I was seeing on the news and I never felt freed up to tell them what I was struggling with. I’ve learned that it’s a joyous thing to share and to give grace so that others feel freed up to share as well.

What did the term discipleship mean to you before you started hanging out with their family? How has your view of discipleship changed, now after spending the last few years with them?

 Discipleship to me meant meeting randomly and talking theology, at least in the most basic sense. Of course I believed life should be spent together but that was more in the sense of talking about our lives but not actually living life together. It was also something that I thought of being very hard (which I still think it is but in a different sense). I thought of it as hard because I thought you needed to have all the right answers and spend a ton of time together. Now I think the hardest part of discipleship is being vulnerable. I don’t want people to know the depths of my sin, I want to ‘keep face’ with people and want them to think of me as the best person who ever walked the planet (SO NOT TRUE!!!).  Discipleship to me no longer takes on a formal sense and I am slowly learning how I can take my experiences of living life with the Kruyswijks and applying it into other relationships in my life. We definitely talk theology, I go over there on random days, and sometimes it is really hard. It’s the hard days that bind us together, we get to dwell in grace together and remind one another of the cross. It’s a beautiful thing to see them love and accept me as a sister and link arms with me and I am glad they allow me to speak truth to them and push them to love Jesus more. God has been gracious to us.

Through this experience, how has Jesus become sweeter in your eyes, specifically because of the relationship you have had with the Kruyswijk family?

Through my relationship with the Kruyswijks Jesus has become sweeter because I have seen his light shine through them onto me. When they show me grace, I am reminded that Jesus shows an even greater grace. It’s the same with when I experience love, acceptance, commitment, care and joy with them – Jesus is the sweeter and more permanent of each thing they extend to me.

Jesus has become sweeter in my eyes also because he has shown me how he has changed 2 weary sinners into a part of his covenant people (talking about Steve and Janine here) and is re-writing their family history starting now. I see them discipling and loving their children out of Jesus loving them and I want that for myself if I ever get married. My family history will no longer be ruled by money, alcohol, divorce, enmity or sin – it will be ruled by Jesus because he is my Redeemer. It’s been a gift and blessing to see how Jesus changes lives and how he will never stop chasing me as part of his bride.

What are some key takeaways you have learned over the years regarding (family and discipleship/mentorship)? (This is a two-part question)

  Family: 

• Family is beautiful. The love of a parent to a child shows a glimmer of God’s love for us as his children. It is a joy to be adopted into the family of God and the Kruyswijk family and get to experience grace there.
• Family is messy. Jesus claims the mess, gives you purpose in the mess and sustains you in the mess.
• Family calls you to lay down your life for others and trust that God sees your labor when it goes unnoticed. He calls us to obedience. Our labors out of what Jesus has done will not go unnoticed.

Discipleship/Mentorship:

• Discipleship is costly. What was the most costly thing? Jesus laying his life down for his enemies. As we give up things for the sake of others, we get a taste of what it meant for Christ to come and humble himself to serve. We get to taste and see that the Lord is good because he paid the biggest price for the most unworthy people.
• Discipleship brings out surprises! God fully knows us and we barely even know ourselves. Meeting with others and sharing life together brings out sides to us we don’t know. We were all built differently, have different experiences and opinions and I think God uses relationships as a means to teach us more about who we are and who he made us to be.
• Discipleship is worth every hour. Even if it feels like you learned nothing new, didn’t get to share any joy with someone or maybe that something became worse in your relationship with someone God is using everything for our good as believers. He wants us to be in community with one another, regardless of what our hearts tell us.

What advice would you give the young college age student, particularly women, who desire to have an older mentor in their lives?

I’d tell them to put themselves out there and ask the hard question of, “Can I come help you around the house sometime?” I think it’s hard to expect a mom to be able to take time off to disciple a college-age woman (but still totally do-able). Most college age girls have time to go out to a house once a week, jump into family life – and it also gives an opportunity to serve. Take the kids on a walk so mom can have a break, wash the dishes after dinner, read the kids a bedtime story and tuck them in. Whatever is appropriate to the family – be respectful. I know I wouldn’t have as much knowledge of family life from sitting down for an hour a week with Janine over coffee vs. going out to their house for dinner. Now that relationship has even turned into me going out there for days at a time, sometimes even spending the night or helping in times of transition (when Eden was born or with Carson and Sydney having surgery).

If a college student is desiring to be a part of someone’s life and learn from them, what sort of things must they be willing to do, particularly to help out the family generously, not just as a consumer?

 Jesus calls us to lay down our lives for the sake of others. A college student should be prepared to give up time. Maybe that is 2 hours a week. They must be willing to give up driving time and gas. You have to get to where you are going to serve and grow. If you don’t have a car, get two people to go together and split the cost. They have to be willing to go with the flow of the family and not have high expectations that all things are smooth-going at a home. You have to be flexible with the schedule (even if you are “starving”), with the crying or sick child (which makes things less pleasant, but, hey, it’s real life), or the tired parent after a long day (who may not feel up to listening to what is going on with your life for 3 hours).

It’s hard, but it’s a joy; a deep joy that is not only planting seeds in your heart that God will continue to cultivate, but you are given grace by God to plant seeds in their hearts as well.

Lastly, what are some specific things you love and appreciate about the Kruyswijks?

 They have extended grace upon grace to me. Late night talks over cups of tea and granola bars. They trust me with their children and put me right into their family life. That I have been graced with loving each of their children, have gotten to build a friendship with each child and look forward to knowing them for the rest of my life.  Their deep love for Jesus and desire to grow and trust him in his grace.

Bellingham Service Opportunities:

• Silver Beach Elementary School:

1. Lunchroom and playground.  Lunches and recess run from 10:55-12:55. Volunteers would be paired with individual students who would benefit from a “big buddy” to talk and play with. Ideally, this would be a consistent relationship- maybe weekly?
2. Friday afternoons 2:10-2:50 we are having Enrichment Clubs.  Every adult will be running some type of enrichment activity for groups of students in 1st-5th grade(yoga, drawing, knitting, tech etc.).  The sessions are as follows:

• • Session 1: September 20th – October 18th (5 weeks)
  • Session 2: November 1st – December 13th (6 weeks)
  • Session 3: January 10th – February 7th (5 weeks)
  • Session 4: February 14th – March 14th (5 weeks)
  • Session 5: April 11th – May 30th (8 weeks)

No June clubs, No clubs Early Release Fridays. We would love to have extra hands and eyes during this time to assist or maybe there is someone that would like to host a club. This would be the area where dependability would be crucial.

3. Reading or Math tutors: flexible times during the school day- would work individually or with a small group of students.

4. Wednesday tutors: we are out at 1:15, this would be a great time to offer students tutoring/homework support.

These ministry opportunities are a great way to serve your Redeemer Family and care for new people who want to come and visit. If you are interested in serving please email info@redeemernw.org or call 360.201.4581.

Since January 18, 2011, Egypt has been in a state of civil and political unrest, but in the midst of the violence and uncertainty, God is moving in a BIG way...As the church gathers together to worship and pray together, God listens and moves amongst this broken world. Our churches need to embrace the reality that we can not accomplish the Great Commission on our own, we need to ask God to empower us to fulfill this great task.

The video below is just a little glimpse into what the Holy Spirit is doing right now in our world.
