Men,

God has called you to greatness!  It is time to stop being passive and COMMIT YOUR WAY TO THE LORD!

Psalm 37:5 – “Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass”. 

The name has changed, formerly as Men’s Prayer, now it is Men’s Huddle!

 

Why the name change?

The Men’s Ministry is committed to prayer, but it is more than that.  Men are called to “HUDDLE” together and do the following:

1. COMMITMENT:  Men we are to be committed to the Lord first, our families, each other, our friends and our community.  As Psalm 37:5 says ” Commit your way to the Lord, Trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass”.  Just as a football team huddles together before a play to discuss the next steps,  they are committed to move the ball down the field successfully.
2. STRATEGIC: A plan is formed an then executed.  Psalm 37:23-24 says “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; For the Lord upholds him with His hand”.  A team is committed to working together and being very strategic, moving forward not backward.  The River Men’s Ministry is committed  to discipleship, prayer, and encouragement.  A team must have BOLDNESS, and expose the lies of the enemy.  A team must have an IDENTITY, knowing who they are always, even when things get TOUGH!
3. FOCUS: A team focuses on the goal ahead.  They work together and focus on the strengths of each of their teammates.  The team focuses on a plan.  Proverbs 29:18 says “Where there is no vision, the people parish”.  That is serious.  The Men’s Ministry remains focused not on just meeting together on occasion, but daily encouraging each other, praying for each other and HUDDLING together, TO KNOW CHRIST AND MAKE HIM KNOWN!
4. CELEBRATE:  Together we celebrate the victories!  Everyday Christ is setting Men free from addictions, unhealthy habits, financial debts etc.  When we FOCUS on the Lord and His goodness, meditating on His Word day and night, the TRUTH will set us FREE!!  Hebrews 10:25 says “not forsaking to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day of Christ’s return approaching”.  Proverbs 27:17 says “As iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend”.

“The best prayer of all is not I want, but Thou Art.  This is the Church’s voice, God’s voice in the earth, the voice that, above all else, hell fears.”

Watchman Nee

“May we live with eternity’s values in view.”

“Beware of reasoning about God’s Word, obey it.”

Oswald Chambers

“INTEGRITY IS NOT JUST A PERSONAL ACCOMPLISHMENT, IT IS SOMETHING THAT IS GIVEN AWAY TO ALL YOU COME IN CONTACT WITH”!  We affect all people we come in contact with positively or negatively.

R – Relationships.  Men we need to build relationships with each other, holding each other accountable, encouraging each, praying for each other and fellowship with each other.

I – Identity.  Understanding our identity in Christ.  He is who He says we are!  Do you know who you are in Christ Jesus?  The Word of God clearly defines our identity.

D– Declarations.  Declare the Word of God daily.  “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God”! Meditate on the Word day and night! 

E– Exhortation or Praise.  Psalms 117:1 – O praise the Lord, all you nations! Praise Him, all you people!  When you praise the Lord there is no room for depression or oppression!

 

Jeremiah 29:11 – For I know the plans I have you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not harm you, to give you a future and a hope.

• Statement of Faith

We believe that the Bible is the Word of Almighty God. The Word of God is Spirit and life. The Spirit of man is made alive by that living Word.

We declare that the shed blood of Jesus Christ is the only atonement for the sin of the world. Jesus saved that which was lost in the first garden (Garden of Eden), by His death, burial, and resurrection in the garden of His tomb.

We believe in repentance, baptism in the Name of Jesus, and the infilling of the Holy Spirit. These, however, are only the first steps in the life of a Believer. Salvation should be walked out, manifesting the Gifts and the Fruit of the Spirit in our everyday lives. (Acts 2:38, 19:1-6, 10:44-48)

We expect the imminent appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ to rule and reign with His saints and His Kingdom will never end.

• Statement of Vision

Our vision is to see the Kingdom of Christ rule in the hearts, homes and lives of all. This must be done “in” us so that it might be done “through” us. (Colossians 1:13)

• Statement of Purpose

Our purpose is to provide an atmosphere of love and grace allowing the purposes of God to be unhindered in individuals, thus impacting our community.
