Men, Get Involved

In this concluding session of a men’s retreat, Pastor Jack addresses the importance of commitment to foundational spiritual disciplines and ministry involvement. He challenges men to move beyond sincere intentions into concrete action – being baptized in water, giving regularly, attending church consistently, and engaging in Bible reading and prayer. Pastor Jack emphasizes that the purpose of all teaching and leadership at the church is to cultivate ministry in every believer, not to create dependency on the pastor. He presents two examples of practical ministry: Dick Hardman shares about Pacific Youth Outreach’s work with at-risk youth through sailing and maritime training, and Howard Wayland appeals for men to serve as ushers and in children’s ministry, explaining that these are vital expressions of giving oneself for others and discovering one’s calling.
