Study Topics for the Men's Retreat
Issues to Understand in the Life of Job, and Get Victory Over
The
goal of men’s Retreat this year is to learn what Job learned. Too many men get
defeated by the attacks of Satan and by their own flesh, and they need to be
encouraged that our Lord is God and that he is so worthy of being trusted,
through the fires, the waters, the floods, the disasters, because of just who He
is, not just because of what he does for us!
