Mentorship Pastor Fred Kingman June 16th, 2024 (Happy Father’s Day, contact info, series/message intro) 3 Things For Men To Do: Go on an adventure. Get in a group. Grow at a retreat Oct. 11-13. “What makes a man?” Are they over 18? Debt-free? Able to shave? The world needs more men .. more men like Jesus. Mentoring is more about you than people you’re developing. Mentors are not renters. Mentors commit Mentors suffer Mentors remember 2 Timothy 2:1-2 You, therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. What you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, commit to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. Prereq for mentorship is trust in what you can’t know. 2 Timothy 2:3-6 Share in suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in the concerns of civilian life; he seeks to please the commanding officer. Also, if anyone competes as an athlete, he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules. The hardworking farmer ought to be the first to get a share of the crops. Mentors endure: Relegation of personal goals. Diligence of not being hypocritical. Pain of letting go. Mentors gain: Pleasure of their master. Celebration in others victories. First share of the crop. 2 Timothy 2:7-10 Consider what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything. Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead and descended from David, according to my gospel, for which I suffer to the point of being bound like a criminal. But the word of God is not bound. This is why I endure all things for the elect: so that they also may obtain salvation, which is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory. Next Steps: 1. Be mentored around a table (LPM Tables 6/22 and Small Group) 2. Be a mentor around adventure (Adventures and Retreat)
