We will be doing something different for the next 10-11 weeks. We will be studying what it means to be a man through this workbook called the Five Aspects of Masculinity for Young Men. As the title suggests, this book is geared toward young men. As teenagers you're caught in the middle of wanting more freedom, but sometimes aren't willing to take the responsibility associated with that freedom.
This study will be beneficial to all of us as we learn who God made us to be and what He requires from us. We will be studying these five aspects:
Lord of the earth
Husbandman
Savior
Sage
Glory of God
Some of the things we study will be very basic. Other things we study you will have to think about more deeply. Still other things might make you feel uncomfortable because of what God will show you through this study.
To set the tone for our manly study I want us to set for the some goals and expectations that all of us should agree upon. I have written up this document that sets forth the expectations set for us, and if you are willing, I would like for all of us to sign it and date it. This will be posted in the fellowship hall of the church to remind us of our commitment to this study. It will also provide a sense of accountability because others will see this document and see our names signed on it. Your name is one of your most valuable possessions. If you treat it with respect so will others. Proverbs tell us that a good name is more desirable than wealth. If you feel that you cannot fulfill the requirements of the study then do not sign it. Let me read the document for all of us now. You may re-read it when you sign it. I feel that we as leaders need to clearly define our expectations of you. We are expecting a lot, but often when a lot is expected, one rises to the occasion. (Read document and then have those who want to sign it come and sign it one by one.)
It is our goal for all of us to become more masculine through this study as we further understand what it really means to be masculine. The more you put into this study, the more we will all benefit from it. It is my vision that this study will transform the way you think about yourself, work, responsibility, and God, and transform the way you relate to your siblings, parents, co-workers, teammates, the youth group, and others.
Let's get started. Turn to page 1.
No warm up questions tonight. I want you men to come prepared to think, talk, discuss, and ask questions. I want us to stay on topic as well. We have a job to do. This is a task that God has given to us to accomplish. We are going to stay focused and get it done. Agreed? AGREED?
