Men’s Warrior Bible Study #1

Men’s Verse of the Week

1 Corinthians 16:13-14: “Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong, let all that you do be done out of love.”

• Men have to be on our toes, looking for distractions, temptations, anything which pulls us away from the Lord.

• We must be relentless in our pursuit of the Lord, standing tall in both the good times and the bad. Don’t forget what he has previously brought you through.

• God designed Men to be Leaders. Modern culture tries to take away from manhood because we are refusing to step up. Society rests on our shoulders.

• Jesus Christ the ultimate example of strength. He gave up his seat at the throne, came to Earth as a Man just like we are, and lived a perfect life. Look at the strength he displayed at the cross. This can be challenging for us as guys. Look at how Jesus lived a life of love for God and for others. (John 15:13).
