Men's Brekkie @ Bacino : 7.00am-7.45am : Every 2nd Friday



Did you know that a bunch of St Matty's guys will be meeting fortnightly at Bacino (cnr Darley & Whistler Streets) for brekkie and discussion of a book called 'Beyond Greed'?

It will happen every 2nd Friday 7.00 - 7.45am from 31st March.... probably discuss a chapter each time.

Beyond Greed is a confronting book .... how keen are you to grow as a Christian man?

'Greed' is not the most fashionable concept these days. It ranks with 'guilt' and 'sin' as words that many people have stopped using. According to Brian Rosner, greed is also a massive blind spot for Christians, which is surprising given how much the Bible has to say about it.

He writes: "The most disturbing thing about the fact that greed is idolatry is that hardly anyone owns up to being a worshipper. Imagine the response of unbelief in the local church if it were revealed that the vast majority of its members were secretly worshipping other gods. Yet if our analysis of the religion of money is right, the unthinkable may not be so far from the truth"

Beyond Greed helps open our eyes to the problems, and then proposes a liberating lifestyle that trades in greed and materialism for something of far greater worth and satisfaction.

So, come along for fellowship and get a dose of healthy discussion with some of the 9.45 church guys as well as 18.30'ers. Book can be purchased from Koorong at $16.95 ... it's a steal, .... errr, umm, I mean gift!

Cheers,
Michael
