Momentum: Moving Into Biblical Manhood
INTRO: (Me)
As I read this verses that Paul wrote to the Corinthian church I so enlighten about manhood.
I’ve been taken you through the Bible and seeing what the biblical description of manhood is.
This is a doctrinal study of manhood.
Again, we are not interested in being politically correct, or even church correct.
My desire is to be biblically correct.
This passage is a great jumping off point because it points us to four imperatives that shape our manhood.
In a stuck society and church we need to create MoMENtuem - when men start to move they lead every other person around them.
Society will change and the church will change.
Review: Work To Enjoy / Will To Obey / Women To Love - messed up.
Sin is the problem.
I don’t have what it takes.
Jesus, the second Adam, came and reconciled us back to God.
(We) Be Watchful
Stand Firm
Be strong
How To Be A Strong Man
Strong =
having the power to move heavy weights or perform other physically demanding tasks
able to withstand great force or pressure
(God) - Jesus come along and by His model and example defines what it means to be a strong man.
He shows us how to be strong as men.
Jesus
(God) - Jesus come along and by His model and example defines what it means to be a strong man.
He shows us how to be strong as men.
What Strength Is Not
Positional
Possessions
Power
Jesus turns this definition on it’s head.
Luke
Matthew 20:17
Ex: Son of Man will be delivered over… to be mocked and flogged and crucified
This is the Gospel!
Jesus modeled strength by sharing the Good News first!
Before Jesus defined manhood he communicated what looks like a very weak scene.
Jesus did not come to FLEX but to demonstrate FAITH
The Pharisees Got It Wrong
Ex: Pharisee - bible knowledge, job - messiah, they were looking for a positional, possessions, power.
They thought the Messiah would show up as an earthly King not a carpenter.
They missed it!
Instead of flexing Jesus suffered and served.
Transition: To be a biblically strong man four exercises need to be a part of my daily routine.
Matthew 20:20-21
1.
A Strong Man Exercises Soul Care
Ex: The sons of Zebedee - motives where wrong, perspective wrong BUT they knew to accomplish anything they had to be close to Jesus.
They got their mama to ask… Come on man.
Sabbath = rest, reorienting, rooting, refueled
Ill: Chick Fil A / Commandments 4th Sabbath 1-3 God 5-10 People 4th is the hinge
On the 7th day God rested.
6th day Gen formed man and woman.
The 7th day they rested.
They didn’t need rest because they had not worked.
They rested to work.
The sabbath was not created to rest from work but to rest for work
Sabbath is a gift from God.
It is a reminder that we need Him.
When I get tired I’m reminded that I need Him.
OT - They worked 6 days and rested.
Cut 1/7th of their business, full day off, but produced more.
God, we can do more with you in 6 days than we can do without you in 7 days.
If Satan can’t make you bad he will make you busy
A strong man exercises soul care by spending his most precious resource, time, on things that matter.
Or, are you spending your time to get position, power and more processions?
Are you busy?
Arg: Slow down Mark.
You are too busy.
You are going to burn out...
You don’t slow down you stop.
Balance and pace are myths.
Bible says to love God with all your soul, heart, mind and strength.
That’s not balanced its not a slow pace.
I’m going to work 6 days and then stop.
Those are my reps in being a strong man.
(What is coming to Brevard)
App:
Exercise A Rhythm Of Rest
Divert Daily
Divert Daily
Withdraw Weekly
Quit Quarterly
Abandon Annually
App - Some of the worst decisions in the world are made in exhaustion.
To give others my best I must have a rhythm of rest
Transition: To be a biblically strong man four exercises need to be a part of my daily routine.
2. A Strong Man Exercises Grit
cup, you will drink my cup
Matt 20:
Ex: Cup = God’s wrath
Ex:
Isaiah and Jeremiah, prophets, foretold about God’s wrath being poured out on sin.
Jesus, in the garden prayed and asked God to let this cup pass from me.
Not my will… but your will.
Jesus was asking for Oprah’s way.
Only one way to reconcile us back to God.
Jesus went to the Cross and paid for our sins.
He was the PROPITIATION for our sin.
Then we are IMPUTED with His righteousness.
PROPITIATION = payment that satisfies
