On Sunday, we explored what men need to be stronger that their wives are uniquely able to meet. Check out the outline below and then the message below, starting at about the 2:43:19 mark!
STRONGER: Stronger Men
Ephesians 5:21-24, 33
“21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. 22 Wives, submit
yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as
Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now
as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything… 33 However, each one of you also must love his wife as he loves himself, and the wife must
respect her husband.”
BIG IDEA:
A woman has the keys to a man’s heart.
COMPANIONSHIP
A woman who
wants to grow close to a man will look for ways to have fun
with him.
Genesis 2:18
“The Lord God said, ‘It is not good for the man
to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.’”
SEX
In the same
way that a woman needs communication, a man needs physical
intimacy.
HONOR
A man’s
number one need is for honor.
Mark 6:1-5
“Jesus left there and went to
his hometown, accompanied by his disciples. 2 When
the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed. ‘Where did this man get these things?’ they
asked. ‘What’s this wisdom that has been given him? What are these remarkable
miracles he is performing? 3 Isn’t this the carpenter? Isn’t this Mary’s son and the brother of
James, Joseph, Judas and Simon? Aren’t his sisters here with us?’ And they
took offense at him. 4 Jesus
said to them, ‘A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his
relatives and in his own home. 5 He could not do any miracles there, except
lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them.’”
