All the King's Men explores what it looks like to serve God as our King in the spheres of lives He has given us to impact. Instead of expounding a long list of principles or making men feel guilty for ways they haven't measured up, this retreat will look at three simple (but-often unknown) "load-bearing" truths about who God made us to be. As these biblical truths take root in men's lives, they bear fruit in profound and lasting ways. Specific attention is paid to what it looks like to live out these truths in various real-world circumstances that many men find themselves in on a regular basis.
- The King's Call (Luke 5:1-11) - We all know we were made for more. We feel it and we struggle with the undeniable sensation that we're somehow not living the life we were made for.
- In the King's Image (Gen. 1 & 2, cf 1:26-28) - God made us for a purpose, for a task that is so big and so...cool, that we miss it because we can't believe it. We skim right over it because we can't believe that he could have made us for that.
- In the King's Name (Luke 9:46-53) - The real tragedy of sin is not only that it cuts us off from our Creator, but that it deafens us to His dreams for us.
- In the King's House (Rev. 21) - What God made us for and redeemed us for, he has also destined us for. God's word is clear - "heaven" is bigger, brighter and better than anything we can even begin to wrap our heads around.
We are the King's men.
And it is time to step into the breach.
