Pastor Jamey Simpson will lead a devotional time that we will share with Cornerstone Christian Fellowship from Vassalboro. This year we will be talking about choosing the real over the fake. From pornography (fake sex) to video games (fake accomplishment and bravery), from selfishness (fake love) to thinking that our faith is all about feelings (fake spirituality), men are tempted and confused by many fake things. The fallout is that we are bored, lonely, and irresponsible.
Taking from Brant Hansen’s helpful (and funny) book The Men we Need, we will be talking together about how to say “no” to the fake and “yes” to the real in our everyday lives. While real things are often not as shiny (or well-advertised) as fake things, they are the only things that have the built-in power to grant long term joy and satisfaction. We do not have to be trapped; we can choose the real.
We will meet for four sessions, starting on Thursday Night and ending on Saturday morning. Thursday Night: Fake Things And Why They Are So Tempting.
Friday Morning: Real Masculinity And Why Video Games Don’t Count.
Friday Night: Real Love And Why It Is More than Words.
Saturday Morning: Real Spirituality And Why It Is More Than Feelings.
For each session, Jamey will read a short section from The Men we Need and relevant Scriptures. We will then all break into small groups where we will answer several discussion questions about our temptations, experiences, and encouragements. By the end, it is our hope that you will leave encouraged, equipped, and committed to choosing the real over the fake.
