ManCamp 2026, Sept 16-20, Berlin Flats, ID.

THREE SESSIONS:
THE AGOGE: SPARTAN RIGOR
THE COLOSSEUM: REJECTING AIMLESS FIGHTING
THE STADION: PUSHING TO THE FINISH

1 Corinthians 9:24–27
“Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.”

Philippians 3:12–14
“Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”

On Sunday we are currently covering 11 core Christian convictions Jacob’s Well Church holds in mission and ministry.

Last Sunday Pastor Eric covered: ‘Embracing The Poor’ in his message: Gods in our Cities.

Embracing the Poor:
“Because Scripture repeatedly reveals God’s concern for the poor, the church should actively remember, welcome, serve, bless, and partner with people experiencing poverty—within the church, the local community, and beyond.”

Each of these core convictions are depicted in the two “Neighborhoods & Nations” vision and values paintings that we have up in our building.

The two close up sections here are pulled from these two paintings. They capture our conviction that we are called to compassionately care for the poor in our neighborhoods and in the nations.

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭58‬:‭6‬-‭8‬ ‭
“Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked, to cover him, and not to hide yourself from your own flesh? Then shall your light break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up speedily; your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard.”

"Strength Will Rise" is the theme at this year's Women's Retreat Campout Sept 11-13. I am excited to explore some wonderful truths using the passage of Isaiah 40:31 that will inspire and encourage.

Section from Pastor Eric’s sermon: Gods in Our Cities

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” -Matthew 11:28-30

Charles Spurgeon:
“Christ is meek, as opposed to the ferocity of spirit manifested by zealots and bigots. O sinners! see what a Christ it is that we bid you serve. No angry bigot, no fierce warrior, claiming your unwilling faith: he is a tender Jesus.

Your rejection of him has made his bowels yearn over you; and though you abhor his gospel, he has pleaded for you, saying, “Let him alone yet another year, till I dig about him; peradventure he may yet bring forth fruit.” What a patient master is he! Oh! will you not serve him!

The lowliness of Christ may be clearly seen in yet another point of view. He is not only willing to receive the poor, and to receive the ignorant, but he is also ever ready to receive men, despite the vileness of their characters. Some teachers can stoop, and freely too, to both poor and ignorant; but they cannot stoop to the wicked.

He takes the base, the vilest, the scum, the offscouring, the filth, the garbage of the world, and out of such stuff and matter as that, he buildeth up a holy temple, and gathereth to himself trophies for his honour and praise.

Come, then, ye dolts, ye fools; come ye sinners, ye vile ones; come, ye dullest of all scholars, ye poor, ye illiterate, ye who are rejected and despised of men; come to him who was rejected and despised as well as you. Come and welcome! Christ bids you come!

If thou stayest away, it is not because he shuts the door, it is because thou wilt not come. Come, filthy, naked, ragged, poor, lost, ruined, come, just as thou art. Here he stands, like a fountain freely opened for all comers. “Whosoever will, let him come and take of the waters of life freely.”

He will not cast you away, or think you have intruded on him. Ye harlots, ye drunkards, ye feasters, ye wedding guests, ye may all come; “This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.”

He is “meek and lowly in heart.”

Her voice, the Choir, the musicians, the arrangement, I don't know if I have heard a more moving arrangement of music.

LYRICS sung by Holly Wiper:
Come, weary one, leave thy labors
Come lift thy head, see thy Savior and Friend
His arms are opened wide
O soul, be satisfied
Come find His rest

Take His yoke upon thee
For He is gentle and lowly in heart
So learn from Christ the Lord
Thy portion and reward
Come find His rest

Come, weary one, leave thy labors
Come lift thy head, see thy Savior and Friend
His arms are opened wide
O soul, be satisfied
Come find His rest

Take His yoke upon thee
For He is gentle and lowly in heart
So learn from Christ the Lord
Thy portion and reward
Come find His rest

Choral Words:
I heard the voice of Jesus say
I heard the voice of Jesus say
"Come unto me and rest
Lay down, o weary one, lay down
Your head upon my breast"

I came to Jesus as I was
So weary, worn, and sad
I found in Him a resting place
And He has made me glad

Take His yoke upon thee
For He is gentle and lowly in heart
So learn from Christ the Lord
Thy portion and reward
Come find His rest

I heard the voice of Jesus say
Come unto me and rest
I found Jesus (I found -)
O come unto me and rest

Come
(Come) come
Come

Come Find His Rest
