Originally this week was going to address both men and women. During the study and preparation it became clear that being a Man of God and being a Woman of God deserves a full week at least. The sermon was then solely focused on what it means to be a Man of God. Join us Sunday, May 6th, when we study Proverbs 31 and what it means to be a Woman of God.
None of us are as we should be. We must rely on the grace of God and the power of the Spirit of God to form us into the men that God has called us to be. Use this week, use the rest of your life to fast, pray, and work to become the faithful man you must be. Holiness and redemption and Godliness and manhood never just happen.
1) Women, spend time asking God to bring faithful, God-fearing men into your life. Ask God to renew your husband, father, son, and friends into the original image in which they were created. Invite God to prepare you to live with Godly men.
2) Men
- a. Are you faithful? Do you keep your oaths and stand on your convictions?
- b. Are you a loving man? Do you know what is good and bring it to fruition?
- c. Do you know God? Do you know His voice so you can heed His word?
- d. Are you a man of honor? Do you reflect God’s glory to the world with your life?
- e. Do you use your strength to fight the enemies of God? Will you help overcome the abusive man’s strength so we can renew the world for Christ?
