Father’s Day

“You’re the Man”

Reflect on What You’ve Heard

1. What statistic did you find most surprising about men in the sermon?
2. What lie about men have you bought into the most? How has it effected your closest relationships?
3. What does it mean for a man to lead his family? How should this play out in our day-to-day?
4. What challenge do you need to walk away with today?
   1. Men:
      1. Get your families to church
      2. Read your bible Teach your children the truth about gender and God’s plan
      3. Pray
      4. Let your kids see you be spiritual leader
   2. Women::
      1. Speak more positively
      2. Be more encouraging
      3. Treat your man better than your children

Pray it Out

Dear God, I pray that you will help me encourage the men in my life to be strong leaders. Please help me remember that God chose the men in my life to be leaders. I ask for forgiveness for any time that I may have dismissed or discouraged the father figures in my life. Amen.
