LAMENTACIONES 5:7

Gender roles are a hotly debated topic. As a Jesus-following man, you know you want to have a virtuous character – but what does that look like, practically, in your day-to-day life? The Bible gives clear categories for the roles men inhabit and aspire to: son, brother, maker, husband, and father. In this Bible Study, you’ll discover God’s design for how you ought to function in those roles.

Most likely written by the prophet Jeremiah, Lamentations is a collection of poems mourning the siege of Jerusalem and the coming exile of Judah. Despite the wickedness of God’s people that led to their captivity, the writer reminds his readers the loyal love and mercy of the Lord are truly new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23). Even in deep darkness, God is our portion, our hope, and our salvation.

Prayer is a mystery. How do we pray? What do we pray for? If God already knows everything, why do we pray? We know prayer is a crucial aspect of the life of a Christian, but it is often a challenge. Going through the example that Jesus gave us in the Lord’s Prayer, we will explore different elements of prayer and discover ways to develop our own prayer life.
