MenPromise Principle

The Promise Principle | Kevin Mitchell & Dave Reynolds

Apple Valley

Saturday at 7:30 AM • Virtual

You are welcome here! This is a "join at anytime" men's group. If you are looking for a deeper connection with God, this group is for you. God desires that we overcome being ruled by our thoughts and feelings, which are highly influenced by our circumstances — family, work, health, or temptation. 2 Peter 1:3–4 tells us that we can actually do this! It comes from learning to respond to God's promises in His Word and through prayer. This is the purpose of The Promise Principle Men's Lifegroups. Whether you’re still exploring faith in Christ, or you have been a Christian for many years, you’ll experience what we believe Jesus meant when He called His disciples to change the world by discovering and responding to His promises, truths, and commands. Click here to read more about The Promise Principle and see our weekly reading plan: http://leaders.rivervalley.org/promise This group will be for an hour on Saturday mornings at 7:30 - 8:30 AM at Dunn Brothers Coffee 16106 Pilot Knob Rd (across from the HyVee store) - EXCEPT the Saturday of a scheduled AV Campus Men's Breakfast (7:30am-9:00am) where we will then meet at a table at the breakfast and NOT Dunns.
