Stand Firm & Act Like Men

June 21, 2026

About this message

The world says masculinity is toxic. God says men are called.

In a culture that wants men passive, distracted, and compromised, Scripture issues a different command: Be watchful. Stand firm. Act like men. Be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.

This Father’s Day, we’ll look at the high calling God places on men in 1 Corinthians 16—to guard what matters, stand firm when the pressure comes, take responsibility for the people entrusted to them, and love with the sacrificial strength of Jesus.

The enemy is real. The stakes are high. Your family needs you awake at your post.
