Momentum: Moving Into Biblical Manhood
INTRO: (Me)
I’m I a man?
I struggle with that question.
I’m amazed at the responses I got.
Ill: Guy wanting to fight - realized his fight wasn’t with me but God.
Manhood is not about my caricature it’s about my character.
(We) We live in a culture that has lost its definition of manhood, leaving generations of men and men-to-be confused about their roles, responsibilities, relationships, and the reason God made them men.
Historically, we have many problems to cause us to be stuck today.
Slavery and the injustices of separating families.
When boys are ripped out of the arms of their fathers and treated as communities it is going to cause future problems.
In industrial revolution the American Dream was born.
The lunch box and the lazy boy were invented and dad left kids with mom and went to work.
Raising children became the “women’s work” and dad’s best times became work time not family time.
We don’t need to settle into something far less than God intended.
We are stuck in a “no-man’s-land” and the solution for every problem in our society is a movement of men that moves with Jesus.
Let’s create some moMentum.
(God) In this series, we are not interested in being politically correct or even traditionally correct.
During this series our goal is to be biblically correct.
MoMENtum will not happen unless I move WITH Jesus.
formed the man
Gensis
In the very first book of the bible we see God’s design for manhood.
His glory spills out into the universe and He loving spoke the world as we know it.
God fashioned and formed man.
He created him out of the dust and blew life into his lungs.
helper fit for him
You shall not eat of it
They did.
This is where manhood got stuck.
Genesis
God made for
This is a foreshadowing of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Your sin will be covered.
I’m going to do for you what you couldn’t do for yourselves.
The blood of an animal will be shed and I will take the skin of that animal and cover you.
Romans
righteousness reign in life
MoMENtum will not happen unless I move with Jesus.
The question is, do I have what it takes?
NO No man has what it takes!
Not one!!When you get to that position you can then get up and move like a man.
When you stand and face God after He has breathed His breath in you then and only then can you move like the man He created you to be.
This is good new because with Jesus you are enough.
Don’t move AWAY from Jesus = rebellion
Don’t move FOR Jesus = religion
Move WITH Jesus = relationship
1 Corinthians 16:
act like men = is the crankshaft
4 necessities = tires
To gain momentum we need traction.
What drive that traction in the engine/crankshaft.
God is the designer, dive and the driver.
Our attitudes, affections, activities and ambitions are the tires that God want’s to work through to create and sustain a movement of biblical manhood.
Ill: Drag car (You Tube Video 38 sec - 1:23 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9L3bllEbm4 ) - unless the tires are driven by the engine the car just sits there and get’s loud and blows a lot of smoke.
Be watchful
How To Be A Watchful Man
Arg: Awesome!
I’m good at watching, ESPN, The Outdoor Channel, Football Games.
I can be watchful.
Historically, every town had watchmen.
They would watch for foreign enemies and thieves.
This is the picture this passage paints.
That as a man you are going to be very mindful and watch out of the enemy.
Satan.
His purpose statement is giving to us.
His native tongue is lies and his occupation is thief.
Every path of rebellion and religion that gets you away from a relationship with God ends with you being devoured.
Peter writes in the book of 1 Peter some answers to this watchful question.
1 Peter
devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
Ill: African Safari - lioness… I heard a middle school girl scream.
Transition: Four tactics of our enemy that we need to watch out for daily.
1. Pride
Humble yourselves
Ex: The opposite of humility is pride.
Humility is a deep dependence.
Pride is independence.
The natural caricature of a man is to be a self made man.
Save Me & Show Me
I Need You
How Can I Help You?
Humility is not a feeling it is a position our inward attitude.
The language of humilty - i’m sorry, I apologize, you are right...
As a man your options are to be humble now or to be humbled later.
every knee will bow
under the mighty hand of God
Realize that without his hand you wouldn’t be alive.
Stay under that mighty hand!
Worship is a key way to humble yourself.
We are not doing Christian karaoke.
The words of the songs we sing magnify God and devalue our righteous.
We lift our hand in surrender.
so that
He will exalt you.
The seeds of a humble life will produce a fruit of righteousness.
Humility is not a means to an end.
Humility is the end.
A humble man is a portrait of biblical manhood.
2. Worry
