Men's Retreat at Lake Aurora
March 1-2, 2024 -Registration opens in January
Theme: "Love Better" - 1 Corinthians 13
Keynote Speaker 2024: Arron Chambers
We are seeing--in the Church, on social media, and pretty much wherever Christians are interacting--division that looks very similar to the kind of division we saw in the Church in Corinth during the 1st Century. Within the context of the division amongst the Christians in Corinth, the Apostle Paul painted a picture of what true love looks like by laying out, what I see as, sixteen ways to love better. Love Better is a modern explanation of 1st Corinthians 13 as, not a wedding passage, but a powerful explanation of how we are supposed to love each other and our communities better.
