In the sermon "The Front Door", Brad talked about the importance of building our lives on Jesus' teachings and that means taking action and doing something about what Jesus says is good, right, true, and best when it comes to how we live. When it comes to the "front door" of our homes (our lives) the role (what the front door is) and the responsibilities (what the front door does) lies in the hands of Men, who must fulfill their role as providers and protectors in their families, emphasizing strength and selflessness.

Jesus takes care of the mistakes and shame of our past and provides the opportunity to step into a new way of living.

As men, we've been called to build a spiritual house and protect it from the schemes of the devil.

When it comes to warrior-ing up, Jesus gives us the model by protecting our hearts with God's Word

When it comes to wisdom there’s a difference in being “childish” and being “childlike.”

Being a King requires action. We usually move between tyranny and passivity, but being a man as God intended men to be is “the glad assumption of sacrificial responsibility.”

We cannot expect to be Kings and also live as victims. You will be one or the other, but you cannot be both. The question is: Will you live as a king or as a victim?

It’s the job of men, as image bearers of God, to do all that we can to provide for our families so that they can experience the fullness of God’s blessing. We keep watch and protect those in our care from anything that wants to steal, kill, and destroy them and/or God’s desires for their lives.”

When it comes to Masculinity and Manhood, the Bible is the operators manual and Jesus is the model of how to live it out.
