Fathers: Is There A Man In Your House?

Is There a Man in the House?

Father’s Day

God doesn’t see men as the world does.

1.) World’s idea of a real man.

(1) Attractive (2) Strong (3) Rich (4) Powerful, etc…

2.) God’s man may be any or all of these things but he is much more!

3.) The world’s view of a real man is wimpy, wimpy, wimpy!

Let’s try to answer the question, Is there a man in the house by trying to define what a real man is in God’s eyes…

I.) He is First and Foremost a Christian Man.

1.) “Thou shalt worship…” (Mt. 4:10)

2.) “Render to Caesar… and God…” (Mt. 22:21)
