Man, it's good to be here.

You have, uh, made your way to the How to Cultivate a More Effective and Functioning Men's Ministry.

So i- if that's what you signed up for, stay here.

Yeah.

But because it gives me purpose, because I got a, I got a nine, an eight, and a five-year-old.

Baptist Church and Pastor Abels and your family and you guys just been behind us the whole time and we thank you for that we thank the Lord for that I'm gonna ask that you find in your Bibles 1st Corinthians chapter 1 if you would please be in 1st Corinthians chapter 1 and once you found your place if you're able please stand for the reading of God's Word 1st Corinthians 1 and let's begin in verse number 11 For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.

Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul, and I of Apollos, and I of Cephas.

And I of Christ.

Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? I thank God that I baptized none of you but Crispus and Gaius.

Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.

And I baptized also the household of Stephanas.
