Discover

This week we are running a week of mission called Discover. It was great yesterday to have the church full of ladies for a flower arranging demonstration and a gospel talk. The afternoon was then spent hacking (in some cases!) round a nice golf course before some food and another talk from Luke's gospel.

It was great to spend an afternoon walking the golf course, though it was freezing, chatting to a group of guys from various backgrounds, laughing with/at one another, and getting to know some of the guys better.

It struck me as we did it that it isn't something we do very often as men is it! We are a bit too focused, a bit too driven, we go to work and then we go home, we go to something social and we go home, we tend not to do the relational side of things very well. Yet in the gospel we see Jesus do what we did yesterday spend time with people and chat with them over food. The challenge is as men to take time to do this regularly, to make the resolution reality in the diary.
