Dear Tres Dias Community:

My name is Gary Brenneman, I first attended KCTD #6 weekend and have served on each KCTD Men’s weekend since. My wife, Susie and I attend and serve at Meadville Baptist Church in Meadville, Missouri.

It will be my honor and privilege to serve alongside you as Rector on KCTD #20 Men’s weekend on October 6th-9th, 2022. My most consistent prayer for many years is that God will be glorified and that will be my highest goal for the weekend.

The theme that I feel led to have for the weekend is “No matter what.” The scriptures that I use to illustrate this point is Romans 8:38-39, “For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

The song

for the weekend will be “No Matter What” by Ryan Stevenson. I think that, especially as men, we feel that we have done such terrible things that God could not possibly continue to love us, yet He does as promised in these verses from His word. We must remember many of the men God used to bring about his purposes, as recorded in His word, were originally liars, thieves, and murderers.

Yet, we must always remember, that when we come to the end of this life here on planet Earth, our decisions or indecisions can indeed separate us from God and His love for eternity. So, I feel led to include the promise and the warning in John 3:16-21, “For God so love the world that He gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned already because he has not believed in the Name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the Light and does not come to the Light, lest his deeds be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the Light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”

To God be the glory!

Gary
