Focusing on The Path and Working the Steps

6 PM Monday Nights at First Baptist Clinton

 "We in the Samson Society have been set upon a Path, a way of living that leads to godliness and freedom."

Samson Society has always been built around The Path, the steps we work toward repentance, healing, and hope. Many members among us have recognized the centrality of the path to finding godliness and freedom, and have seen the way our lives can radically change when we choose to work the steps. On the one hand, we are not a 12-step program -- but on the other hand, we are making daily choices toward healing and wholeness, and the seven Steps of The Path describe and guide those choices. We have been set upon this path, and we are learning how to walk it.

If you are a member of the Samson Society and you want to know more about The Path, you are invited to join Samson Society Jackson's first Path-based meeting! Each week we will gather to do two things: first, to pursue the goals of our charter, sharing honestly, out of our own personal experience, the challenges and encouragements of daily Christian living in a fallen world. And second, to turn our focus toward walking The Path, working the steps, and sharing that journey with other men on The Path with us. Practically, our sharing time will be "step-based" instead of "word-based:" we will discuss one of the steps each week, though, as always, we are not confined to that subject -- You may speak about any issue that is currently commanding your attention. This is the only change to the typical meeting format.

Because the first step on The Path is Believing the Fact, we will also go through each of the seven realities in The Fact on a week-by-week basis. So, this meeting will go through The Fact and The Path, one reality or step each week, over the course of about 4 months (repeating this cycle about three times a year). And you can jump in any time, wherever we are!

This is a meeting for anyone who is part of The Society, or who may be interested in learning more about what The Society is and does. Wherever you are on The Path - even if you have not stepped one foot on it! - this is a meeting for you:

If you want to get started on the path for the first time;

if you feel stuck and are seeking help getting out of a rut and back into the steps;

if you are working the steps faithfully and want to share your burdens and joys;

if you are skeptical about Samson society and not sure if this is a place for you;

if you want to know God's heart for you and explore the beauty of his grace;

if any of these descriptions resonate in your heart, then this meeting is for you.

Please reach out to Will Osborn for more details and information! Our first cycle runs September 27th (The Fact, reality #1) to December 27th (The Path, step 7). Our second cycle starts Monday, January 3rd (The Fact, reality #1).
