Good morning. All right. There's power in the mic, but there's more Power in the Blood of Jesus. Amen, that's a pasta joke, but it's real, we are I'm passing Cherokee Molina. I'm so thankful to have a guest here this morning with us and I thought you gave the welcome earlier, it is always a pleasure, always welcome, our newcomers. And as we bring him build up, send out. It is our heart as a church body. And this morning, I was talking to report and topic of church leadership in our our, our our series. And like I said, I don't always do series but when it the word of God allows it and it's a beautiful way to capture and to do a theme and we're talk about talk about church leadership or talk about manhood. We're talking about biblical manhood today, were talking about leadership in the home as a husband. And so we're in 1st Timothy Chapter 3, this is and you're like what password he get that from? We're going through at the requirement. For eldership for a pastor, a Shepherd, some folks know, the word is Bishop but you are a servant leader to God's people, and so when you're called to that, you have to meet certain requirements. So we're going to go through the word of God. I've been reading chapter 1 through 7, the last 3 weeks, that's the fourth week. We're going to read it all together again because it with repetition that sticks, and it's always good to understand the context of what we're talking about. This is truly, the requirement. The Apostle Paul is sending to Timothy a young Pastor in charge of the churches of a consistent, more than likely more more than just a church, but it hurts his meeting in homes and corporate Gatherings as well. Under the persecution of the Roman government, dealing with lots of things, and lots of church polity, as we know it today. Lots of ups and downs with the struggles and today, we're continuing our mission. Through chapter 3, 1 through 7, focusing on verses four, and five talk about managing of one's household stuff. You had your Bibles with you. Please open them up, break that bind and we're going to read chapter 3 verses 1 through 7 together. Is it the word of God? The same as trustworthy? If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task there for an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded self-controlled respectable respectable hospitable able to teach not a drunkard, not violent, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money, he must manage his own household well with all dignity, keeping his children. Submissive or someone does not know how to manage his own household. How will he care for God's Church? He must not be a recent convert or he may become popped up with conceit and fall into the combination of the devil. Moreover, he must be well, thought of by Outsiders, so that he may not fall into this race into a snare of the devil, may God bless. Everything was worried. That spray father. I think you forward a, thank you for being your word is live. It's alive. It's, it is apparent to us or your truth today is applicable. It's an errant and I thank you, Father, for your word appraise. We focus in on or husband responsibilities in the in the household and the qualifications of an elder. I pray. Lord God that you would speak to our hearts that we would learn. As we are taught from your word. I pray that we would hear the truth. They are Holy Spirit, would penetrate our heart and we're guy that you and have our way and have your way. With us or God and we would surrender our way to you in Christ's name, I pray. Amen.

So could be housed in the house of the Lord, to be able to preach the word of God. As, you know, the last couple weeks. My voice has been a little in and out. So I'm thankful to be in full volume and I'm thankful to have power in the mic system so I don't lose it again. So praise the Lord. As if you do, remember Sabrina's dalgic looking at the last three years, we have gone through many different meeting areas and we are coming up on a year meeting. Here has been a blessing we've met at Marker 37, we've met at the beach. We may never other church locations in the evening and it's it's great to have the comfort of air conditioning and this hot Texas heat. So, praise God, for that list of those that have been there and been with us throughout the years. Remember, and just enjoy them and appreciate that this morning. As if we, as you look through or weeks here is going week for leaving the house in the home and as a husband, and then fly. Tomorrow. Or next week is the leading, the home as a father. And then six is leading in the community, right? I said, reputation part, that's not being in disgrace, that's not falling in the condemnation because we're well, thought of by Outsiders. So, what this is again, reiterate for those that have not been working through the passage with us, is this is God's principles and his standards for biblical eldership. Okay. Pastoral leadership in the church and it specifically understanding this is an earmark, a standard that every Elder should an absolutely are held accountable to but this is for all Believing in a god, it's a standard to be attained to and his weary raise up or Legacy or children in the church. That's a standard for them to a chain for a tank shoe. We'll talk a little bit about that next week, as he talked about fatherhood and raising up our children in the way of the Lord. So I'm sewing Courage by this passage to remember. This is a family worship environment. We have kids, we have wifey of women, men husband, and we all this is the word of God into. It's always good for all of us. And every bit of it is important for us to read and understand. That's why I love expository preaching. And peeking through the word, you can't get away from the heart passages and it is challenging. So I asked me if you look at this and these are very basic points were recalled to as mentally. Need love and protect. It's real simple. I normally go at 4 but I'm going to leave that. Leave the protect the provision part for next week. But it's I always say if a man of God Is is under submission of a lord. We are truly loving, Lord God, with all your heart, soul, mind and strength, that we all that were utterly capable of. We give to the guy to give give the guy stewardship and is in the word that we look at it. In this context of manage, the word manage is a synonym for stewardship is what God has given us. So we think about biblical manhood, we lovely provide and protect right. In when we, we understand that our god-given role in in Challenge and wait, we step up to the plate and in women in the Church of love hearing this because they are, there is as loving help me code equals in and Joint heirs or talk about that here in a minute and understand the complementarian understanding of theology. But they Women should be championing this message because we want our men to stand up and today Church in 2022. I want to get started quick here but we need it. We need men to be men with God designed us to be and we need women. We talk about Womanhood a few weeks ago and heard. And what that looks like in the Biblical context with the world has tried to pervert and degrade and reduce it down to So on that note, men, we are called to lead Elders. If we're not, if we're aspiring the noble task of eldership, in, in the passage, we just read over leading first in our home and I'm going to go to Genesis chapter 2. As is my favorite passage always going back to Genesis. Design is Blueprints and it never ever get solved because we always need to go back to the first president that God has established for us to be under authority of design. So too, you understand that this is a leadership role and in there's many things that that God has ordained. Us as men to lead, one of those that we have is the design and Genesis chapter 2 of leadership. So this is this is truly my favorite passage in all and all of Genesis as between Genesis 1 into the Genesis one is a regarded, very highly, it's the most powerful. God's omnipotence displayed, his God, created the heavens and the Earth in the beginning, God created the heavens and the Earth that time space and matter in all one verse and she just kind of summarize boom, right there, right and in science is just starting to keep up, catch up to God's word. An understanding with that means the expanse. And it is continually expanding the way God made it. Beautiful. And I and I and unfortunately science is gone away from God's design. And what it, what we have here in in Genesis Genesis 2:24 in read that first it says, therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife. And they shall become one flesh. And now there's many different readings of this and understanding, but there's only one true way of truly understanding their. There's the therefore apart when we read that God's word and in chapter 224 there for what is it fair for? It's there for, because we often humorously express of the expression of atoms poetry to Eve. You read, just right before. That verse 23, you have Adam. It's finally found a helper fit for him and that help is not a demeaning help her. It's actually an equivalent in the same word we use for the Holy Spirit, a helper that the only think about, Jesus says, you'll be my Witnesses, right? And this Great Commission that he's he's given us, the acts 18 + and I Matthew 28, we understand that he says, you'll be my messengers. But first we said, all 30 and have enough to be given to me. And you'll, you will be received a helper, you all send you a helper. What's the same type of parallel of a helper to Adam, we have Eve so Adam receives his, his helper fit for him. He looked at all the animals and said, this is just look quite right? This is not at the draft beautiful, but no, that's Ibrahim know. The king is familiar. Is that the dog? No, the monkey, the

He sees Eve and he stopped dead in his tracks.

Then the man said and verse 23. This is at last bone of my bones and Flesh of My Flesh. She shall be called woman because she was taken out of, man.

We have each. That's Adam. That's man. We have East Shaw, and his woman. And I asked joke because this is, this is beautiful. This is the first wedding ceremony that God ordained and officiated himself. He says he shall cuz she's beautiful. She is so similar in so many ways to see is human made in the Imago, Dei the image of God, but she is woman Isha. She's beautifully different and she's beautifully similar. So similar, he immediately knows. That's his help meet his helper. And it's a beautiful thing when we steal and this is the, like I said, the first Wedding officiated ever and it's gone. Gods were dating this. So I've officiated, if you remember Ross and Morgan while back to my first wedding ever did is really excited about it. Did a lot of female counseling, but I got to officiate their wedding. I realized I'm just the guy that's facilitating. What? God has ordained himself? He's over all ultimately the one that they're getting married and before Witnesses and before God, And this pronouncement right here. Got to this is Adam and Eve.

Adam says, bones of my bones and Flesh of My Flesh. She shall be called woman Isha because she was taking Ativan. Therefore, that's what it's there for a man. Shall leave his father and mother and hold fast work. Leave in the King James version.

This reason shall a man. Leave his father mother hold fast to his wife and they shall become one flesh. That's marriage Oneness. And I love teaching on this. My favorite topic because I actually love our marriage. Personally, as a man of God, as a, as a husband, as a father, getting into the next week, but the husband ship aspect is understanding. God has ordained. It. It's his plan. And no one to redesign God's design. No one can redefine God's design and even one that does their acting antithetical to the word of God. Which is very dangerous place to be. To be in opposition to truth itself. The word of God. So it is not good for man to be alone. We see that in verse 18, I will make a helper fit for him and we just look for that pronouncement and that creation that how God did it taking under the rib? And when you think about this, this is God's ordaining. An explanation already that is predetermined and beautifully written in the Loving Redemptive story of the Gospel. You see Christ being the head. You look at Ephesians chapter 5, as we're going to get into next Christ. Being the head of the church and the church be in the body without understanding of marriage. You can't understand the church and without understanding the church, you don't understand Society. In the, we we, we have governance inside the church. If governments outside the church, and then you have governance inside the home and this is God's design to for men to be leaders. And if you look at we reach through March at ten 6 and we looked at verses 1 through 12, in general, if you're taking notes to Great reference point, what God has joined together? Let no man. Put asunder no man divide. Let no, man take take away from this. Would have points us to God's design, infusions after 5, so I will still come over if he's in chapter 5. stating that this this is very Profound get very, very simple. If we don't try to add or take it with a takeaway and eating from it or add anything to it. So if, if someone if there's no leadership, leadership is void. There's a void for it. And if a man doesn't lead a woman will write with mention this before. What a man doesn't do a woman will do and what what a woman will do a man will steer away from. He'll just be passive and then we should look at throughout scripture. Look at Abraham, you look at under so many different contacts. You can, you can look through the looking around, their own lives, and then be real. Wait wait we go eating Humble Pie here and in experiencing that myself I've learned and I'm still learning and we're going to get into the context of understanding complementarianism, here, very shortly.

If we don't step up and initiate that word is is is is is it a brand every time? I say the word initiate. It brands in my brain and I need to be intentional. I need to be the one to step up into The role, the guy just called me as a as a man of God in my family. And my marriage. So if you look at effusion, chapter 5, this is talking about husbands and wives, and this is, this is what I love talking to you lie wiser or about to be Wade's in the premarital counseling, read, Ephesians 5:22, and I'm going to finish out at a 27.

You can't have marriage without understanding this, a healthy marriage, a Biblical marriage. That says why I submit to your own husbands as to the Lord for the husband is the head of the wife. And even as Christ is the head of the church, his body and is himself at savior. Now the as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit and everything to their husbands. Husbands love your wives as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her that he may sanctify her having cleanser by the washing of the water of the word with the word adverse 27 so that he might present the church to himself in splendor without spot or wrinkle or any other such thing so that she might be holy and without blemish

My stop there. Most young brides and Brides to be. I've had one specific

Young Bride Express to me as I'm going to the shoes. I'm good with everything we talk to you. It's about three weeks of counseling. That part right there. That was a lot of people and she really dig into it under standing, we're okay with the husbands. Love your wives as Christ loved the church and gave himself for it. But to get there that you can't have one with the other, you can't have a loving. Husband is leading with Valor and bravery and stepping up to evil and protecting your family and in defending your honor. Without having the other its Mission, as you know, I will Express this again. So I may be new to this but submission will my favorite explanations for some Mission, inside the bounds of marriage specifically is when they a wife. Submit your husband. It's a wife is inviting her husband to lead. This mission is a wife inviting her husband to leave without the invitation. He doesn't have permission without permission, it's literally totalitarian dictatorship and we ain't none of us want that. That is not biblical. Loving submission. This is loving leadership. If a man being discipled, the man is stepping up his role. He's not just some pig-headed, arrogant prideful, man. He has an opportunity to leave his wife. Well, Is a challenging for us men, cuz that is weighty, isn't it? But God gave us Not just the physical form to Bear the weight but the heart of a servant leader to love lead, provide and protect for a families. if we can't, and I'll say this,

a husband, a Biblical husband, a man cannot be a good husband. And not a good father. You can't have a good husband, but a horrible father and vice-versa. You can't a man. Cannot be a good father. And not a good husband. So you can't have a horrible father for the husband. You can't have a horrible husband, but a good father. We'll unpack that war next week because you it's it's a it's a, it's not a I'm going to have this or that either or it's a both and and they actually results from one another. Because the first thing a man has to do is submit himself to the Lord. He has a love the workout. Like I said, all this heart soul, mind and strength. So Leading Dodge engine design, just a 224, just read the whole chapter 3. The whole book is great, man and woman Mark, chapter 10, is his God designed without has put together? Let no, man, put asunder and understanding the, the basis for the gospel. It's reflected in the husband-and-wife relationship. So I'm going to pause and think about all the organizations. Think about all the people, all the powers that be that are attacking biblical manhood. And you have to understand their tackling attacking the gospel. All of the powers-that-be that are attacking biblical Womanhood. They're attacking the gospel.

We get this when this very Passage.

I'll pick up verse 28 of Ephesians chapter 5 in the same way. Husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife, loves himself for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it just as Christ does the church and he loves us. Well, doesn't he first 30? Because we are members of his body there for a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife. Again, according Genesis 2:24 and the two shall become one flesh verse 32. And 33 this mystery is profound. So listen up church. This mystery is profound and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. However, but each one of you love his wife as himself and let the wife see that she respects her husband,

The profound mystery of husband ship. And bride ship, understanding the bride groom and the bride. This is designed solely by God. We didn't evolve into just how I like you, but you like it. Let's just do this. This thing called bear. God ordained it. and if we stick with the design that God has ordained, then we see the fruit of the Gospel from within the families. You see the fruit first coming from a husband and a wife inside the bounds of marriage and it's beautiful is so radiantly magnificent. When you see it done, right, you see the people, you like married. When I grow up one day, only be like that, right there, I want to be madly in love, 70 years old, still holding her hand walking down life path, through ups and down sickness and health Butterworth, Richard pork and they're still madly in love with each other. Why? Because they love Jesus, they love God with all your heart. Soul, mind and strength. Minute, man can love and he can lead. And he can protect.

When you're attacking the marriage, you're taking masculinity, like Godly, manhood Godly biblical Womanhood, you're attacking the marriage. If you're attacking the marriage, you're attacking the gospel, the mystery of it, it's beautiful and profound.

So older ship. Protecting we talked about Shepherds. We talked about pastoral leadership. Plural leadership. Like this is a shared leadership thing of eldership. There's there's there's a myself being this a church plant three years young that had a calling and a vision from from gotten a vision like I saw in the sky but a calling by that. But he a true calling from God to plant a church and it's become Coastal Community Church. Is my my duty and responsibility to not just let stuff come in the doors. That is heresy. That stuff come the doors that has poison and toxic for our church body, but to protect the Sheep. And if you take a look at me, And you look at Pastor Corey, if the same exact heart, the Elders of the church and we're growing and developing Elder ship, right now, we're developing men and disciple, men become leaders in the church and deacons will get into that in a couple weeks and understanding that if I am passive as a Shepherd, it's literally like a Shepherd. The saying sheep, they can take care of themselves are pretty tough, Rowdy. Bunch, those wolves in sheep's clothing. I'm so afraid to lose people. I don't ruffle any feathers, I don't and that's the same exact heart as a husband. That is. So it's been said that the church is reflection of the families in the church, right? In the church is reflection of the leadership that have a DNA, the culture that you find the church is directly from the leadership and it should if they're leading. They're not just passively letting things happen. I mean, that is a direct reflection of it if you will. But in essence the same thing, the heart of a man in a marriage, is a reflection of the marriage. Obviously, the wife has a huge part of that. but the leadership aspect, who is accountable before God, Osman. That sweetie.

If I'm not going to protect my church, the same thing here. It's because

I wouldn't be able to protect my own family. And if we're more serious about protecting the flock about from heresy, and from, from different wake up, if you're serious about that than protecting your own home, we are disqualified. If you were so serious, about protecting, and and and putting a hedge of protection around the church and bring them literally leaving our fan flaming flapping in the wind, whatever. Hey, I just want make you happy but I just want to be your buddy. Going to be your friend.

I'm a father side, but when it comes to a husband lovingly protecting from spiritual warfare, things are coming into our household coming into our marriage, we need to put walls up and be a buttress of for Fortress in and praying a hedge of protection around her brides and protecting her.

Saying is trustworthy. If anyone aspires to the office of overseer desires a noble task, we know we discussed an elder. A pastor Shepherd doesn't have to be married, doesn't have to be. There may be shocking but it doesn't look at possum Paul as we know he's never been married. wasn't given to marriage, but if you do have a marriage, do you have

A bride that you are protecting your loving, your leading. if you're doing that well, Then you make a certain Benchmark, a qualification, to be an elder. Do I go? I'm never going to be. It doesn't matter. It's manhood. And that's the standard right there. That's the standard. This is your qualifications. What is his biblical, manhood?

When you think about Pastor or 30 in the New Testament is always tied, we talked about teaching rights one with the only calling the giftings is rather others hospitality and there's well, we would mention but the actual biblical gifting that you have to have his be able and willing to teach. That's what he is, is always tied 2 teaching faithful leaders exercise oversight centrally throughout scripture. You see these leaders is faithful leaders. Their teachers and their teaching is our main instrument of exercising Authority. That's what I'm doing right now is, is not just I just at my my my calling is not to entertain us, right? If we don't malfunction up, here is my favorite thing to say is a good thing. My dogs not to entertain us right to Worship the Lord God Almighty. And it's the same thing as a husband. We're all going to have fun in marriage. It's it's it's UK State fun, it's a lot of fun. but when things are easy, easy, where things are hard? How do we protect men? How do we protect her or wife's? Are we able to protect our wives? And that's something that there's a fear for every man? It takes a bride, will I be able to protect her? And that's why Ironman we call our men of the church come together sharp and one another's Providence RI at 7:17 says. Proverbs 27:17 as iron sharpens iron one man, sharpens. Another we get stronger together. There's no Lone Ranger by himself.

We learn how to teach, we learn how to preach even. It's been many men that have stepped in the pulpit, and encouraging, the step in and, and teach and preach at. When I was 23 years, young, if I hadn't had the opportunity of first preached, I wouldn't even known. That was a call for me. So many years ago. I'm going teaching is so important. But as far as husbands and looking at Titus 19, this put some more meat and it shed some more light on eldership in this role of being a husband as an elder gives clear overlap between eldership overseer qualifications in Timothy 3 that we're looking at right now in Titus one we find the tightest really puts Flesh on this with Paul means able to teach and protect cuz of you if you don't know the word you can't protect from stains of heresy that are contrary to a tightest. 19 says he must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught. Pause. Hold firm. Stand Fast. Without wavering, this is not passive talk. This is very direct verbiage. he must hold firm to the trustworthy word is taught so that he may be able to give instruction and sound Doctrine, and also, to rebuke those who contradicted

I can ask for a show of hands that your kind of people that don't like conflict II. I don't like conflict. I've learned not to be afraid of it. Not to be passive towards it, but to look at it head-on prayerfully Truth and Love. In my marriage. If I don't protect my marriage from things coming in, my marriage has no business. Being in my marriage, there will be conflict. So, I've got to be there. The first one to lovingly praying for my wife. It is, we've learned in that in the marriage classes, like by the Elvises, and understand the Power of a Praying husband, The Power of a Praying Wife train for my bride coming. Alongside her, we were married 7 years, but before we had kids knew we needed that time. So it's a build a foundation that was not by our choice. That was God's timing. we must hold firm as men of God as husbands as elders and Elder pretends Potentials in the trustworthy word as taught, so that we may be able to give instruction and sound Doctrine and also to rebuke those, that contradicted So there's been times that of unpopular times where they're there may be some some really good books out there that it sound mostly good.

You may have heard like a Beth Moore and her teachings, right? You may have heard I could list a whole bunch of them. We just recently went through our household in Wheatley had a whole large moving box. Full of books that I went through and I was like, wow! I mean, it might done that last 23 years, things in the eventual, Evangelical world people really showing their true colors and it's not an Allegiant. The gospel with a wavering towards man's ideology and teachings and unlock the opinions of 2nd Corinthians 10:5. These arguments against the gospel. When they were written in Book form, we have them. And that's trash. And I've had you, we had to clear house, right wife? My sweet prize come to me many times and, and this is this legit. And I'm going not just as a pastor but as your husband Going through it and going. Wow, that's pantheism. That's like nature is God. That's willing worshipping the creation instead of the Creator. I can't believe that she has some good quotes out there on Twitter and Facebook and whatever Instagram. But this is hot garbage. Like your visits are foundational. Understanding of the god almighty that we worship. We need to talk it out, don't we? And it's hard, isn't it? That's hard. Like I was really like this author. I really like this. Then we are to protect. just as Elders of the church are husbands in in Japan. Give me the physical aspect. We are to protect our families. Turn the other cheek. Like, he's not talking. That's a whole nother cut on that, but his on the right cheek. So if it's on your right cheek that the, the person that's hitting you in your left hand, it's an insult. That does not give this. It's a, it's a slap is a, it's a backhand slap to your right cheek. By the way, turn the other cheek. It's a dishonorable think it's not a passive, scapegoat the saying I'm a pacifist. Like I guarantee you if someone's going to physically hurt my family, my bride specifically I'm going to protect by all means necessary. In so much as how Christ was at his bride. The church. That's why he's giving the church under Shepherds to protect his bride. And there's many that are not doing that today. There's many churches there battling the knee to everything except the gospel truth. Just so they don't lose people in the pews in the seats, they're following the ones of the invoice.

What are we willing to sell? the truth for, The numbers. Because we're going to lose people. Falling into the pit of Hell. Rather than in the pews if you don't know the gospel truth, if we have Twisted, what men manhood and Womanhood is what husband ship is. Attacking the gospel. And we need to stand firm. We need to be able to protect Soul-eating loving protecting. There's this real simple, I wanted to the next slide. We have here to get advance to next slide. This is a an example of a statement if you've heard of the Dallas statement. This is if you Google search of the web sites on the bottom here as well. We got some interference here. If you can read that I read it out loud. This is the statement on social justice and the gospel. You're not familiar with the term social justice. Sure. Everybody is love to talk with you and understanding the difference between what the world says, social justice days and what Biblical Justice is, it's the gospel. Anything you add to an adjective to Justice, We don't need an adjective to it. It's God's justice. So this is the Dallas team. Nice personally sign the statement, our church, our firms, the statement, and there's several different affirmations and denials of of the statement. And this is just the one on complementarianism, she probably already reading it. So I'll read it out loud with us. So, we affirm that God created mankind. Both male and female with inherent biological and personal distinction between them and that these created differences are good. Proper and beautiful though. There is no difference between men and women before God's law, or as recipients of his Saving Grace, we are firm that God has design men and women with this linked traits. And to fulfill distinct roles. These differences are more clearly defined in marriage, and the church WIll pause. If you remember the governance of their civil governments, or church governed and their household governance, that's where he's talking about. These differences are most clearly defined in marriage and the church but are not Irrelevant in other spheres of life in marriage. The husband is to lead love and Safeguard his wife in. The wife is to respect and be submissive to her husband. In all things lawful In the church qualified men alone, or to lead us pastors, Elders, Bishops, and preach and to teach to the whole congregation. We further affirm that, the image of God has expressed most fully and beautifully in human society. When men and women walk in obedience to their God ordained roles and serve accordingly to their god-given gifts. Denial, we did not. I that the god ordained differences in men's and women's roles. Disparage the inherent spiritual Worth or value of one over the other nor do those differences in anyway and haven't either men or women from flourishing for the glory of God. So that's not a Bible verse that scripture. That's a statement it's a statement of affirming faith and where we stand on certain things like sin marriage album and understanding there is egalitarian which comes from a rich word, the French word. Equal and saying is it's kind of a, a sheep, a wolf in sheep's clothing saying that it's, it's men and women are equal and in it and it's true and so much value worth personhood. But different differentiating god-given, the roles we have to understand, it's not putting people in their place is living out God's design and we do that. It's beautiful and it's wonderful. And we see it done, right? Like I said, it's like, man. One day. I want to be like that guy. You see the most lasting for filling Rich, marriages. When you come out of perspective, a Biblical not saying your way. Milon's that I look through you. I'm just going to take some of these outfit. I don't really agree with It's All or Nothing. In complementarianism is under attack, right? People want to even change a term and go so far and and

If you want to reduce and not even just egalitarianism like a ball of manhood, a take-away take-away Womanhood different differentiate and blur the lines between male and female. So when you look at this it's really really important understand what and I encourage you like go on the website, you go back to it go go to this website in and look at just Google searched the statement on social justice. The gospel it's really really good. It's really, really important. If you go back to it, one more time when you're able to look through all the affirmations and denials, it's very refreshing. It's it's it's very well done, is biblical sermon towards you just at least Google search social justice and the gospel, and you'll find it. And explain explain so much of where the reason they've come out with this statement is because of all the Convoluted lines of a good Doctrine and heresy. And without clarifying, we will certainly have much more pain and not just in the church body, but society, as a whole to my encouragement, for us this morning, I'm going to bring us into a landing and and finish out. What does it look like for a man to lead spiritually in the home as a husband? When is present there's a great acronym. My love. Just keeps it fresh on my mind but this is for any believer. But it's faith. Faith faithful. You're available. Your intentional, you're teachable and humble, great academic. I love it about the streets. I got a faithful. Available intentional teachable in Humble. That's a faithful follower of God by particular in the context of people husband. So, What is come to a point in, in the, in the teaching, in his preaching, God's word, to understand, where we stand, we read this. It's been through a ditch, it ate, a small piece here that I got to expound upon, and thank you for giving me the privilege to do that. Just takes take my time and work through this again. What this hit, hit home with us. First four and five of Chapter 3 of tip 1st, Timothy, He must manage his own household, well. With all didn't dignity. Keeping his children. Submissive for someone does not know how to manage his own household. How will he care for God's church? That's the question.

How will you Stewart manage what God has given you men? If you're not giving the marriage yet, write whole row of Avenger. I love seeing this. Let me see all the young families here, but you've been given the marriage Or not, when you are divorced. Or not or you don't even know that I can't even know if I'm ever going to get married right here in that book, I was there one time.

What is God giving you today? Right now, time now It's God's. That is given to you. Nothing that we have our time Townsend. Treasures. None of it is ours. It's dealership 101. He is gifted it. And let us have it for a time to manage and Stewart. And it'll take your and leave. If I'm not doing well with what I have right now. How will I ever Do well with anything more than what I have. That's God's economy. So if I can truly hold fast. To the profession of faith that I, I've called my Ivan call to, and knowing who I am in Christ Jesus and living this out, because I know who got is who I am and who I'm not going to live my life accordingly. Do my challenge for us, is if you're not a good husband, you will not be a good father. And you're if you're not a good father you can't be a good husband.

Take this Challenge, and let it ruminate and just resume deep in your heart today. Wife's future wife.

Would you if you're not married are you comfortable with thinking of a man that God put in your life to be able to invite him to lead you? Not saying that you can't leave. It's like God's design. Would you feel comfortable? Was letting a Godly Man lead you. The world will tell you know but God's word is his design in his truth. So back to Men, You're Not Married. A great example was to look at a young lady and her relationship with her father and she's not submissive in that relationship and honoring him. Guess what? It may be real nice right now with you and your relationship. But down the road, when things get hard, that's the Manifest itself again, except it's you, that she will be rebelling against. So encouragement is to hold fast to the truth today and knowing that men, we are called the two lead love and protect, and Ladies, we are encouraging and allowing them to do so.
