men
This year in Men’s Ministry we came to focus on
three primary areas that we will continue to seek
throughout the 2017-2018 ministry year:
1. All men at Calvary would be in awe of God.
2. All men at Calvary would be enthralled

by God’s Word
3. All men at Calvary would have an earnest
desire to be obedient to God and His Word.
It has been a joy to see new men come forward in
the ministry with different passions that the Lord has
given them. Even outside of current bible studies,
men have stepped up to gather those in their work
places or in the midst of the congregation to start
studies of their own.
1 Corinthians 16:13-14 was a highlight for men in our
ministry this year. It commands us to be on guard,
stand firm in the faith, be courageous and strong,
doing everything in love. This command is found in
the Old Testament as well. Each time it is mentioned
it expresses the idea that we are to know God’s Word
and be obedient to the Word. Both happen when an
individual is in awe of God. In addition, all Christ-
followers are commanded to make disciples of all
peoples, teaching them all that Christ has commanded
them (Matthew 28:16-20). In the life of Moses, we
see that even in his old age, he continued to make
just one primary disciple, Joshua. Joshua then led
his men to do the same after him. As noted above,
we see the same instruction from 1 Corinthians 16 in
Joshua 1:8-9, “Keep this Book of the Law always on
your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you
may be careful
