As One - Week 1

The sermon explores the concept of godly masculinity, contrasting it with societal definitions focused on physical strength and libido. It challenges men to move beyond being "Christian boys" to becoming "godly men" characterized by honesty, purity, humility, and compassion. Using 1 Samuel as a case study, the speaker identifies Elkanah's example of worship and love for his wife, Hannah, even in her infertility, as a model. The importance of men leading their families in worship is emphasized, citing statistics that show children are more likely to attend church regularly if their fathers do. Practical steps for husbands to demonstrate love are provided, including acts of service, thoughtful communication, and portraying Christ-like love in marriage.
