MORE THAN BACON – Men’s Breakfast
MEN – You can be an agent of Godly change.
“Out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him.” (Matthew 12:34-35).
Words contain tremendous power – either positive and constructive, or negative and destructive. Each time we speak words, use a particular tone that adds meaning, we speak either life or death to those who hear us.
When we speak God’s intentions and favour over people we can expect God to perform it.
Time: 6:55 am Venue: NBC Lounge Cost: Koha (donation)
