NW District Disciple Men's Rally
The Disciple Men of the
Northwest District of the Region of Georgia gathered on September 22,
2007 for a Rally. Musical entertainment was provided by the
Marietta First praise band SoulFire who had everyone up and singing.
A great group of men were
present from among district churches including Peachtree Christian,
Sandy Springs, Cherry Log, Decatur First, Fayetteville Community,
Marietta First, Peachtree Corners Christian, and all the way from
Alabama, Phenix City Christian Church.
In addition to a welcome from
Joe Austin, NW District Regional Representative and an innovative and
enthusiastic cheer led by Will Perdue, the men heard a great message
from Rev. Randy Barnhart of Peachtree Christian Church.
In his message Randy pointed
out that "Most of the really outrageous ideas in the Bible come from
God!" For example, telling a great and effective evangelist like
Phillip to head out into the wilderness on a desert road. Randy
then had everyone laughing as he pointed out Phillip's outrageous
behavior as he runs up to the chariot of a high government official.
Picture, Randy said, running up to the limo in a government motorcade!
But because Phillip obeyed God's voice and did something Nutty, the
Eunuch was converted. Randy pointed out that much ministry goes
unfulfilled today because good church people don't hear and obey God's
call. He also pointed out that what the Eunuch needed was a guide
to the scripture. Randy told the group about some of the guides
that molded his life and challenged the men to be guides in their
Christian life.
The program was followed by a
huge Bar-B-Que lunch from Williamson BBQ along with a hefty helping of
fellowship.
