Their skiff'd have ever received has to be a bike when I was younger, a pedal bike.

It was a sort of slick little road bike and I remember it was all like it was so it was all wrapped up

but it was so obvious what it was obviously because nothing shaped like a bike and had a little ribbon on it

and I was so gas. For that was a life changer and I'm still sort of big on cycling around my area now

so for that one change really a little.

Welcome into the Wednesday Bible study we are thankful that you are here. We come to you weekly.

The weeks that we are not here are rare. Most every Wednesday you can watch this live at noon central time,

one o'clock Eastern. We get an archive for you pretty soon after that and then the archive is available on our YouTube

and also on our podcast channels. So I'm going to open this up in a word of prayer. I'll tell you some things that are going on briefly

with themanchurch.com and we will be jumping in today. Our continued study word for word through the book of Genesis today will be in Genesis chapter 27.

Lord thank you for today. May your word appears our hearts. Prepare every heart no matter where they are to hear what you have to say today.

For us to glean and learn what you intend to teach you Lord are a perfect teacher and we are imperfect people and dire need of your wisdom and discernment through your powerful and holy spirit and your name we pray amen.

So this Bible study has been around for a long time. If you're if you're new we started in March 120, 2020 something called themanchurch.com.

We are a resource for you to implement a full strategy to reach and disciple the man of your church or your community.

If you would like to know more about what we offer we offer curriculum we offer resources we offer speakers and teachers.

We have a complete discipleship strategy that you can plug in easily by going to themanchurch.com. We're right around church 500, 501, 2 somewhere in there all across the country and we'd love for you to be part of what we're doing.

We'd like to know some of the churches that might be near you part of our strategy feature is features services where men come come together we got that from Exodus 34, 23 and also from Deuteronomy 16, 16 when God told Moses three times a year bring me the man.

So we do see a biblical precedent that there are times that men should come away from their wives and children and stand before God to be spoken to by God's teacher in a tone a way that that men respond men and women are equal no question about that but they are distinctly different and you can never reach and disciple a man if you continue to speak to him like he's a woman or a child.

So our discipleship strategy is designed to reach and disciple men actually the way God made them. So if we could help you in any way let us know you want to know where some services are going on so maybe you can kick the tires or maybe and get involved in a strategy near you coming up this week crossroads church and warrior Alabama.
