Please put “Men’s Retreat”
Starting Monday Night, October 16
6:30pm to 8:00pm
(meeting in the TLC Youth Centre)
This small group setting is a great way for men to come together and study God’s Word. This year’s study will be “The Man in the Mirror”. In his great classic, Mere Christianity, C. S. Lewis introduces a powerful illustration–Toy Soldiers or New Men? To portray the choices God had in creating mankind, He could have created us as Toy Soldiers – each person perfectly made, all marching together in perfect formation, but Toy Soldiers nevertheless. He chose instead to create us with the potential of being New Men. His intention for us as New Men is expressed by the Apostle Paul in Romans 8:29: “to become like His Son.” How can this happen? How do we become like Jesus? In the Twenty-first Century, we like quick fixes, don’t we? We would like to instantly become like Jesus, perhaps falling asleep one night as our old self and waking the next morning as a New Man, like Jesus. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work this way. God has chosen to involve us in the process of becoming like His Son, one step at a time over the course of our lives. We have to roll up our sleeves and cooperate with Him as He leads us through the challenges of life, conforming us to the image of Jesus.
Monday Nights

Jesus had 3!
Jesus model for friendships: with the 12 Apostles
His relationship with these 12 “ordinary men” transformed these fishermen, tax collectors, and political zealots into men who changed the course of the world.
Matthew 10:2-4
These are the names of the twelve apostles: First, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
This “inner circle” consisted of Peter, James and John, the three who witnessed some major events that the other disciples did not.
TLC Men’s Inner Circle Groups endeavours to incorporate the way Jesus related with his disciples: Clustered: Jesus called 3 into his inner circle; transformation happens in small groups.
Relational: Jesus told his disciples, John 15:15 “I do not call you servants anymore, because a servant doesn’t know what his master is doing. I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything I have heard from my Father”.
