Men—Who’s Got Your Back?
By Joe Lightfoot | Pastor of Adult Ministries |
Buried in the pages of the Old Testament is a story of a young king who trusts the wrong crowd. His decision ultimately splits up the Kingdom of Israel.
David’s son, King Solomon dies and his son, Rehoboam, takes the mantle of leadership (1 Kings 12). Following a significant temple-building campaign, the people appeal to the new king for some relief from their labors. The counselors of Solomon, Rehoboam’s father, counsel Rehoboam to lighten the load of the people. However, Rehoboam’s younger buddies brashly counsel him to make the people work even harder.
Rehoboam follows the advice of his young comrades. His decision ultimately splits God’s people into two separate nations—Judah and Israel.
The young king followed the wrong advice. He trusted the wrong crowd to have his back.
What about you? Who’s got your back? Does anyone? Will they come through in a pinch?
To answer these questions and identify a godly (not perfect) man to have your back, mark your calendar and make plans to attend the FFC Men’s Retreat, September 26–28, at Twin Lakes Christian Camp. During this weekend you will be given the opportunity to connect with a guy who can help you walk through some of the challenges guys like you face on a daily basis.
Clear your schedule for September 26–28 to be part of this life-changing weekend!
