We are four weeks into a six-week series finishing this sentence: “Be a Man of…” So far, we have discussed being a man of…God, Respect, Your word, and Humility. Our final two topics are “Be a Man of…Conviction and Purpose” We trust that you will finish out this series strong.
Round Table Question
This is an opportunity for every man to share a 45-second thought about the question of the week.
Which of the previous four meetings (Be a man of…God, Respect, your word, and Humility) impacted you the deepest and why? If you are a guest, which topic intrigues you most and why?
MAN OF GOD. Look at Proverbs 3:5-6. What does it mean to “Trust in the Lord?”
What do Romans 10:9-10 and Ephesians 2:8-10 teach about trust? How are trust, faith, and belief similar?
MAN OF RESPECT. Let’s review Job 29:7-12. Who respected Job and why? What did Job do to earn the respect of other men?
What does each of the men in verses 8-10 represent?
“A man worthy of respect serves others. A male serves only himself. Respect is earned on the field of battle. People may respect a title and may even comply with a title to keep their job. But respect is earned.”
—Jim Ramos
Excerpt from Full Capacity Man
Is respect earned, given naturally, or a combination of both?
MAN OF YOUR WORD. Read Matthew 5:33-37. Focus on the three answer options in verse 37, “yes,” “no,” and “anything beyond” (maybe). Which stands out the most to you and why?
The man of his word means what he says, says what he means, and does what he says he will do.
How is “ghosting” others not being a man of your word? What does refusal to respond to emails, texts, and phone calls tell others about yourself?
“I Said what I meant and meant what I said an elephant is faithful 100 percent.” Dr. Suess
MAN OF HUMILITY. Read Philippians 2:3-10. How did Jesus model humility?
Let’s journey back 750 years before Christ to Isaiah 53:4-12. What stands out to you about the humility of the coming Messiah?
Of the four topics we discussed tonight, where can you be a man who is more like Jesus?
