RB Men’s C411 Group

The mission of CommUnity411 Men’s Group is based on Proverbs 27:17: “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” We want to discover our God-given strengths to become more like Jesus. As we seek his holiness together, we want to make disciples by reaching out to the community, especially men, and beyond.

SCHEDULE: Weekly on Mondays at 7:30-9:00 pm

During our weekly gatherings, we put in practice the SOAP method:

• Scriptures: we study God’s infallible word
• Observations: what’s God speaking to us?
• Application: we want to apply God’s truths in our lives
• Prayer: we trust the Holy Spirit to change us and enable us to do God’s will

Reading the Bible feels like feasting on an unceasing banquet, but we also enjoy outdoors activities like biking, picnics, and games. As we gather, we strengthen our fellowship and welcome newcomers to know Jesus. Our meetings provide a safe and loving place to share our lives together. We look forward to meeting you!

Explored Courses

We offer the following three Courses to help people to explore life, Christianity and grow as a disciple of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Life Explored is an exciting new way to share the gospel in today’s highly visual culture. The seven interactive sessions in Life Explored Course are based on stunning films shot all over the globe. Life Explored will help people uncover what they’re really living for, and see how, in Christ, God meets their deepest desires for happiness.
Christianity Explored helps people to meet Jesus in the pages of the Gospel of Mark. It's all about one life, the life of Jesus, and it can be summed up in the answers to three questions; who is Jesus? Why did Jesus come? What does it mean to follow him?
Discipleship Explored helps followers of Jesus turn up the gospel soundtrack to their lives. It goes beyond simply teaching the right moves - go to church, pray, read the Bible, share the gospel - and focuses on the music which drives discipleship: the love of Christ. The greatest love anyone can ever know. This eight-session journey through Paul’s letter to the Philippians is ideal for believers at any stage of the Christian life. It features brand-new documentary-style films and inspiring real-life stories from around the world, Bible studies and weekly reading plans, and a beautifully redesigned Handbook.

We love and enjoy fellowship with one another and most importantly with our Lord - in singing, sharing, and going deep in His words. Every week, everyone is encouraged to take turns leading his/her devotion, followed by sharing and discussion and how this can be applied in our daily lives.
