Men's Spring Growth Group: Biblical Sexuality in a Modern World
The Death of Porn by Ray Ortlund
This is group will be reading through Ray Ortland’s The Death of Porn this group is for anyone wanting to hear what the Scriptures have to say about how to relate to sex and sexuality and how a Biblical sexual ethic brings freedom and life. Are you struggling to find freedom from sexual brokenness? Are you expecting too much out of sex in your marriage? Do you only see sex as something to avoid or shameful? Do you struggle to know how to talk about sex and pornography with your son? This group is for you!
Ray Ortlund writes six personal letters, as from a father to his son. Ideal for individuals and small groups, it will give hope to men who have been misled by porn into devaluing themselves and others. Through Scripture and personal stories, Ortlund assures readers that God loves them the most tenderly in their moments of deepest shame. The Death of Porn inspires men to come together in new ways to fight the injustice of porn and build a world of nobility for every man and woman―for the sake of future generations.

Men's Spring Growth Group: Every Good Endeavor, What the Bible Says About Work
Every Good Endeavor by Tim Keller
Are you struggling to find purpose or meaning in your job or vocation? Are you conflicted about the balance of work and family? Do you want to “work as unto the Lord” but don’t know what that looks like or means? Then this group is a great fit for you! Take the next few months to hear how the Scriptures direct how and why we work in a way that provides balance, life, and purpose in the workplace as we read through Tim Keller's Every Good Endeavor".
With deep conviction and often surprising advice, Keller shows readers that biblical wisdom is immensely relevant to our questions about work today. In fact, the Christian view of work—that we work to serve others, not ourselves—can provide the foundation of a thriving professional and balanced personal life. Keller shows how excellence, integrity, discipline, creativity, and passion in the workplace can help others and even be considered acts of worship—not just of self-interest.
