Ep 54: Memory Serves w/ David Noel

Video
Men’s Alliance

Tribe Delta celebrates 1 year! Its easier than ever to read scripture, books are everywhere, you can listen to it, it’s on your phone, and even on your watch. Are you just reading or memorizing the scripture, taking it in, and living it out?  We need to write the scripture in our hearts to make us the men God created us to be. This allows us to be changed through scripture, understand the wisdom, dwell on the wisdom, and impart the wisdom when we and others need wisdom. Memorize and reflect on the verses below: The 12 Men’s Alliance Memory Verses Lead your family in learning one each month. Romans 3:23 – For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Romans 6:23 – For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 5:8 – But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 10:9 – If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:13 – Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. John 3:16 – For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Col 1:15 – The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. Eph 2:8-9 – For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. John 14:6 – Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Acts 4:12 – Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved. John 16:33 – I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. Heb 12:1-2 – Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support

Ep 44: Be Enough Without Her

Men’s Alliance

If you're looking to your wife to validate you as a man, then you're also giving her the power to INVALIDATE you as a man. We need to be men who draw their strength, confidence, and affirmation from a much greater source than our wife or our job.   --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support

Mission Briefing 03: Stop Hinting

Video
Men’s Alliance

Too many pastors are tiptoeing vaguely around the edges of truth. Watch out for what is said and not said by articulate speakers trying not to offend. The gospel is offensive. Be bold and call out sin. This is no time to coward away from biblical truth. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support
