First
Watch is a unique and increasingly important part of my spiritual
life. There is nothing more encouraging, edifying, or exhilarating
than being a part of a diverse group of men who stand together
as a “band of brothers” with one primary purpose:
To love and serve the Lord Jesus Christ and others.
Calvary’s
theme for 2005 is “The Church in many places.” God
is calling us to boldly proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ
in our corner of the world. To our families, friends, neighbors,
co-workers, and even strangers. The practical application
of that “calling” stirs the emotions. On the
one hand, it is truly exciting to think about the spiritual
impact we could have on those around us. On the other hand,
we are visited by all kinds of fears as we begin to think
of stepping out in faith to witness for Jesus. This is precisely
why First Watch continues to be a critical part of my spiritual
life. Nothing helps me overcome my fears more effectively
than knowing that I am not alone. That I stand shoulder to
shoulder with a group of men committed to the same spiritual
calling. A group of “Spirit-filled” men who inspire,
encourage, and hold me accountable.
I
would like to encourage every man of Calvary to attend First
Watch. If we are to take the church to the people, if we
are to be the men that God wants us to be, then we need to
stand together united in the Spirit, in love, in purpose.
There is no better place to do that than at First Watch.
I firmly believe that God is going to do amazing things through
First Watch this year. It truly is going to be an exciting
year!
