Some thoughts from last Sunday’s ‘Man Message’ to our students:

• Man is made in the image of God.  (Genesis 1:26)
• If we know why something was created, we know our purpose.  If we know our purpose, we know what we need to do next.
• Adam was the only man to experience this world in its perfect, sinless state.
• 3 ways the world defines manhood:  Gadgets, Girls, Glory
• 300 is the ultimate man movie!
• The church has murdered the image of the Lion of Judah and replaced it with a tamed house cat sitting in the lap of a Mr. Rogers-with-a-beard-Jesus.  And we all know how Kevin feels about cats!  FIELD GOAL!
• Guys may not be pigs exactly, but we are made from the same dirt they are.  (Genesis 2:7, Genesis 2:19)
• Conversation among guys will always result in the topic of poop.
• Growing up is boring.
• Men have a desire for sex, adventures, challenges, damsels in distress, and risk taking for a reason.  We are made in the image of God, so our desires are no accident!
• The world and the church have exploited and watered down our desires.
• Fathers have a HUGE role of portraying God as The Father.
• No matter what image or wounds your father left, you are still responsible for the man you become.
• Leader = LEAD HER
• God made man because God wants MEN!

We are going to be talking to the ladies this sunday night!  I can’t WAIT!!!  Girls, you don’t want to miss this.  I’m going to be telling you how beautiful all of you are.  Guys, you don’t want to miss this because I’m going to be telling you how to pick up a girl.  Parents, be the parent and MAKE SURE YOUR STUDENTS ARE THERE! This could be one of the most important, powerful & relevant messages your student hears!
