Grow in our faith, specifically in our…

Details of The Gatherings

The Purpose

The Gathering is a time for men to connect and pray with other men under the Word.
It is a place to know other men, be known, and practice the Christian life together.

The Process

Psalm 1 says that we should meditate on God’s word. The Gathering provides time for directed individual reflection, which can then be shared in a small group as a way of sharing our Christian life in community. There are also times set aside for fellowship and prayer.
The Gathering is designed as a space to build relationships.

The People

Anyone is welcome. The Christian life is a journey to be shared, and wherever you are on that journey, we want you. We’re in this together.

The Focus

As Christians we are called to be more and more conformed to the image of Christ. We are selecting 36 attributes of the person of Christ, and we will select one attribute each month as we seek to become more like Christ. Over the four weeks of each month, our brief Scripture for reflection will rotate around four aspects of that attribute:
Week 1: Explicit of Christ’s character
Week 2: Where Bible characters get it right or wrong
Week 3: Gospel identity
Week 4: Gospel imperative

Questions: Email bgault@redeemerjackson.com

Shape of The Gatherings

Gathering and Fellowship. 15 minutes.
Directed Individual Reflection. 10 minutes. Reading/Reflecting/Journaling/Meditating on a short passage in Scripture focused around discussion questions that are designed to get to your heart and your Christian experience—not your knowledge base.
Sharing/Connecting/Reflecting Together around the Directed Individual Reflection. 20-25 minutes. This is designed to be a safe place where we can share our joys and sorrows, struggles and victories, where we can know others and be known, and where we can encourage one another in the Christian life together.
Prayer. 10-15 minutes. A time to pray for each other in light of what has been shared in our discussion. This isn’t necessarily a time to break out a laundry list of requests around other circumstances, but more of a focused prayer around the Scripture and discussion that morning.
