Welcome back to the Wednesday Bible study. Hello, I'm Rick Burgess, cohost of the Rick and Bubba show and director of the manchurch.com and the team at manchurch.com

Just wants to thank all of you. We have been, man, I'm telling you, we're all over the country doing and doing manchurches and churches are implementing the men's discipleship strategy. If you are joining us today, you're a pastor, a community leader,

someone in leadership with the men's ministry at your church or in your community and you guys would love to talk to us about our resources, about our discipleship strategy.

Just simply go to the manchurch.com. We are standing by, look at what's there if we can help you, press the contact button, more than happy to help you out.

So let's talk about that a little bit before we go any further about things that are going on and we'll be going on over the next 30 days or so and vibe the manchurch.com.

Because some of you I know like to come to a manchurch that might be near you, you may hear that something's going on at your church or near you, maybe you're a church leader, you want to come check it out.

So August the 6th, I'll be there at Mount Zion Baptist Church in Huntsville, Alabama, be back headed up to North Alabama, be there in August the 6th and also coming up on August the 12th, be an Athens Alabama for manchurch, first Baptist church, Athens, they're doing our men's discipleship strategy.

Many of these churches are either halfway or three quarters of the way through our curriculum and this is some of their manchurches, some of them the second time, third time.

So make plans to join them because you can enter our strategy either through a gathering or through a small group. We have a manchurch one day, this will be an event that features two of our speakers.

Well, I have an old list here, but but that one needs to be added as far as the marriage conference with Sherry and me will be in Pensacola at Olive Baptist coming up on August 14th, all of you that have gotten tickets.

It is sold out, but we look forward to seeing all of you there. Shane and Shane who keeps following me around for some reason and concert coming up on Saturday night there too on August the 14th after we finish up our sessions with Sherry and me talking to all of you that.

And you know, they said that people are coming from all over the country. They're in Pensacola for a great weekend, not a bad place to attend and work on your marriage.

All right, so let's let's say a prayer and let's get open open up today's study. We continue with our series discovering what it means to be a disciple Lord help us to glean from this today exactly what you in 10.

Today we talk about community. What is it look like? You know, everything that that followers of Jesus do, they do it differently than the world. That includes community.

And today Lord help us to understand this very, very, very important line of understanding the difference between fellowship and discipleship.
