Main Idea:
Men are called to reject passivity and accept responsibility.
Discussion Questions:
• How would you describe passivity?
• List some things God has made you responsible for.
• Describe ways that you have been passive toward the responsibilities God has given you.
• What are one or two things that you need to start accepting responsibility for this week?
Principles:
1. Passivity is the core sin of man.
o Passivity is the tendency to move away from responsibility instead of moving toward it.
o After Adam sinned, God made him work to remind him of the problems that passivity brings.
2. Men are called to reject passivity by accepting responsibility.
o The call to accept responsibility is a call for all men regardless of personality or talent.
o Accepting responsibility is not an easy thing to do.
Rejecting passivity is the opposite of what we want to do.
Accepting responsibility requires hard work and energy.
3. Biblical masculinity is countercultural.
The version of manhood that our culture celebrates does not always line up with the version of manhood that God calls us to.
o As young men, it is important for them to have a vision of biblical masculinity.
The version of manhood our culture lifts up needs to be replaced by the scriptures.
4. We see the ultimate version of masculinity in Jesus when he accepted his responsibility to the point of death on the cross.
He is the model of manhood.
